Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Can't comment on the experience as we had to cancel at the last minute through illness. We told them we were cancelling and they immediately put the money back on our card which was very good of them. Well done the labyrinth

Really great experience with mysterious boatmen who interacted really well with children. Didn’t know quite what to expect, but they have made a story trail based around King Arthur in the caves. It was really good!

We had a great day out at Corris Craft Centre. First we did King Arthur's Labyrinth. We took our son who is 5 and although he found some bits a little scary overall he loved it. Afterwards it was all he could talk about, and all his games involved him being King Arthur going on a new adventure! Even as adults we found the tour to be something really different that we'd never done before, and parts of the experience were really impressive.
Afterwards we did the Halloween Maze which was really fun, and looked round all the shops which lead to us making quite a few purchases.
We also had lunch in the cafe which for the price and quality of the food was excellent.
Final thing to note is that all the staff were lovely and that it would be a nice day out all year round.

Excellent, interesting and fun, this was a fab day trip. I was tentative about the ticket price as I'm on a very tight budget, but it was well worth the money. Interesting, exciting, you are literally inside a mountain in amazing caverns, illuminated to make the myths and legends come to life. A few surprises too. My 8 yr kids loved it, mesmerised by the stories. We also did the Hallowe'en maze which took almost 2 hours but held their attention, and mine! Cafe was nice and reasonably priced. We will do some art & craft activities next time. Great day out. Well done to all the friendly professional staff. X

What a brilliant place; the kids and adults really enjoyed it. The staff are friendly and helpful. It is really well done deep inside the tunnels, we were impressed with the quality of the whole experience.
The Halloween trails in the maze were a great addition too.

The mysterious maze of monstrous mysteries put on for Halloween season is definitely worth a visit.
At check in the staff are very helpful and explain everything thoroughly providing and clip board and pencil. You have the opportunity to do 3 types of quest, these cover all ages and are great fun. The décor in the maze is top notch for the scary season, with screens and warnings clearly marked for any area that might be a little to much for younger children. Mum & dad can look in first just to be sure.
(The younger ones we saw were loving it )
We took about an hour and forty minutes to complete all 3 quest’s, we really got into it and stopped for pictures everywhere. We also popped back and forth through the maze just to be sure of our answers.
This is aimed at families of all ages. We had a great time and my daughter is 18.

We visited king arthurs labyrinth me,my husband and 2 children aged 8 and 11 whilst staying at a local caravan park.
We absolutely loved it and the children said it was their best day out around the area.
It was a shame it only last just over an hour as the kids were so intrigued.
The fact it is more of an interactive story as you walk through the mines keeps the kids entertained rather than someone just talking.
The little boat at the beginning and end definitely adds to it
Would recommend this to family and friends

Thoroughly enjoyed this excursion into a re-purposed underground slate quarry recreating the Welsh perspective of the story of King Arthur! A boat journey and then the story unfolds - all very well put together. The tunnels are quite low but hard hats are provided. Not cheap but well worth the money.

Travelled to see King Arthur’s Labyrinth on the strength of the marketing leaflet’s claim that the centre welcomed dogs. Although dogs are welcomed in the cafe and some of the craft shops, the Slate Mines and King Arthur’s Labyrinth are certainly not dog friendly and we were misled. Sadly we were not allowed to buy tickets and visit the main attractions as we had our small dog in tow.

Thank you for your review. We have looked at the wording on our leaflet and can understand how you have been mislead, we're very sorry. As you pointed out the Corris Craft Centre workshops (excluding the Chocablock studio) are dog friendly and the Corris Cafe too. However, the underground attractions are not. Thank you for pointing this out to us, we need to review the underground attraction pages of the leaflet for next year and to make it clear that unfortunately, due to the conditions underground, they are not suitable for dogs. We do allow guide dogs underground but this is only after we have discussed the conditions with their owners.

Hello! Is this all underground - would it be a suitable activity for tomorrow when rain is forecast all day?

Hello. Are dogs allowed ?

Due to the conditions underground in King Arthur's Labyrinth, it is not suitable for dogs. However, we have an outdoor storytelling maze (Lost Legends of The Stone Circle) where dogs are welcome. This self guided maze contains 8 mythical stories for you to find and enjoy. The surrounding Corris Craft Centre studios are also dog friendly (excluding the Chocablock Studio and Y Crochan cafe where food is prepared).

How visitors are there in each boat, and are face masks or any other Covid measures still in place?
Shirley O
6 contributions
Hi and thanks for your message. Yes, under strict instructions from the HM Mine Inspector a face covering must be worn underground at all times. Our boats have a maximum of 18 people on each boat. Hand sanitising stations are positioned at regular intervals (and at every story) and visitors are asked by the guide to use it. I hope this answers your question.
Is it ok to do in the rain?

Hi, yes, King Arthur's Labyrinth is underground and relatively dry in the rain (there's a few drips from the caverns!). There's a short walk to the Labyrinth entrance which is outdoors. However, following periods of persistently wet weather, there can be times when we have to close. Please keep an eye on our website and our facebook page where we post details of any closures. Please wrap up warm and wear sensible footwear whatever the weather above ground as the underground Labyrinth is always a cool 8 degrees. Thank you.

When our daughter was very young she did the underground tour and was startled by a mechanical “fire breathing” dragon in the wall of the canal section. Even at 19 she remembers it and laughs about it (a happy early memory).
I remember that it was out of action the previous times that we’d been nearby. Will it be there this year?
Thanks in advance!

Thanks for your question and lovely memories from an earlier visit. Last year we unveiled a new finale "Dragon River" so there is a dragon at the end but different to the one that you remember. We look forward to sailing you underground again soon.
How much for family of four please.

We are looking for somewhere to break up a long journey with a 4 year old and a baby and this is in the ideal location, but the mine isn't really suitable for our children. Is it possible to go to the craft centre, cafe or play area without paying for mine admission?
Thanks

The actual trip into the Labyrinth including getting your helmets and a safety video at the start takes about an hour. If you do the stone circle and the maze then at least another hour - although on a busy day it could take a good bit longer to listen to all the tales from start to finish and to get the answers for the quiz. A visit to the cafe might take 30 minutes - or longer depending how busy they are and what time you go into it. Then there are 9 different craft 'shops' so again, that depends how interested you are in the crafts available. There are hands on sessions for a) paint your own pottery b) creating your own chocolate and c) candle dipping. I don't know about the chocolate making or the candle dipping other than that once you had created your own coloured candle I heard someone saying that they had to wait for 30 minutes to let it set properly before you could take it home. The suggested time for the pottery painting was 1-2 hours - and the two of us senior citizens took about 75 minutes to do our pottery.
If it helps we spent a total of 5+ hours there
