We visited Llandudno for the day whilst on holiday in Rhyl, and we knew the cable cars were something we wanted to do.
Be prepared for a bit of a steep uphill walk to the Happy Valley station (dreadful in the 27° heat!). Once there, the tickets can only be paid for in cash, which we were prepared for as we’d checked the website ahead of time.
We were quickly onboarded onto a car, and set off on the 9 minute journey up to the summit. The views were incredible and absolutely breathtaking. You can see for miles across the whole of Llandudno and the sea, and then over the other side to the mountain.
Once at the top, there’s an adventure mini golf, a gift shop and cafe, toilets, and lots of places to sit and take in the views. There’s also a large car park if you’d prefer to drive up to the summit, where you’ll incur a small £2.50 toll free.
Whilst this was a fantastic experience, I’d say the cost of the return ticket is far far too high. £14.00 pp for an 18 min all-in journey. There’s not enough to do at the summit to warrant a longer trip up there, which would make it better value for money.
I’d go again, but only by car.

Came in on a Wednesday evening looking for somewhere with good music, good vibes and reasonably priced drinks. We’d been recommended this bar by a few locals, so we thought we’d head down.
We were not disappointed! The second you turn into concert square, the music is pumping loud and clear, and there’s promo staff handing out cards for free shots when purchasing a drink at the bar. We took a few, grabbed some 2 4 £10 cocktails and got a table. We also decided to get a shisha pipe, which was £15 for roughly an hour. We got the strawberry, mint and mango flavour, which was nice if a little weak. It didn’t produce much vapour, to which we later discovered there was a small leak in the pipe connection, and a lot of the vapour was seeping out through there instead of down into the mouthpiece. Regardless, it was a fun experience and I’d recommend going down there as the music was lively and fun all night long!

Greek food is our absolute fave, so we were super happy to see this food truck parked up when walking down towards the Royal Albert Dock!
We had 2 x Chicken gyros and 2 x Mythos, and it came to just under £25, which is pretty reasonable! The food was prepared in a quick time, and the portions were HUGE! Really tasty, fresh and full of flavour - couldn’t have asked for more!
Only thing we noted was the chicken did taste more like chicken tikka than something you’d find in an authentic Greek gyros, but it was still really lovely and we’d have it again.

Came here for a Father’s Day meal with three others. The first thing we noticed was how LOVELY the staff were, namely Julian and Toby K (whose names I asked for to mention here!).
They were super polite and ensured that we had everything we needed throughout our meal.
We ordered and the food was lovely, however sadly the one downside to this visit was the waiting times. We waited 45 mins for our starters, a further 40 mins for our mains and then 25 mins for dessert; our visit in total was over three hours which seemed quite unnecessary, although we understood it would be busy due to it being Father’s Day. We only ever saw two chefs in the kitchen who were pushing our meals at a fairly slow and relaxed pace, with multiple waiters standing around waiting for their table’s meals to be made.

Overall a good experience, however would maybe not visit on an ‘occasion’ day again just due to wait times.

Really cool and interesting addition to the city. Not something you get to do everywhere and it was fab to see the city from a different perspective.
Would be middle of taking young children up there as the side is open to a sheer drop.
