As the premier tourist resort in North Wales Llandudno has lot's of great attractions suitable for all ages. The younger generation can enjoy ten pin bowling, trips to the cinema, and skiing on the Great Orme, as well as a wide variety of bars and pubs.

For the parents and grandparents relax on Llandudno's beautiful promenade, take advantage of North Wales best shopping facilities at Parc Llandudno, and enjoy tea and scones at Badger's Tea Rooms in the Victoria precinct.
Curving between two spectacular headlands known as The Great and Little Ormes Llandudno promenade is a great place to sit and relax. The promenade is lined with Victorian hotels and the character has been carefully preserved by the town council over the decades. None of the usual tourist shops line the promenade and amusement arcades have been banished as well. All this creates a truly terriffic and picturesque location where you can enjoy Llandudno's beautiful bay.
At well over one hundred years old Llandudno Pier offers an enchanting walk with excellent views of Llandudno and the Great Orme. There's lots of attractions on the pier for children with amusement arcades and rides and small stalls are dotted along the pier selling a variety of tourist items. The pier offers an excellent chance to take in the panoramic views of Llandudno's promenade and also get a good look at Happy Valley and the start of the cable car ride.
As the longest cable car ride in Britain the Great Orme cable car takes you from Happy Valley at the foot of the Great Orme to the summit over 600 feet higher. A family of two adults and two to three small children easily fits inside the cars or up to four adults can ride at the same time. From the summit it's possible to see the mountains of Snowdonia and the Isle of Anglesey on a clear day. The summit is home to a visitor centre, adventure playground for younger children, and amusement centre.
Another way to get up and down to the Great Orme summit is via Llandudno's tram. The tram's are beautifully decorated and have open windows taking riders from the base station close to the town centre up towards the summit. If you don't fancy a cable car ride then the tram is the perfect way to explore the Great Orme. Passengers change at the half way station and there's a small exhibition detailing some of the history of the trams in Llandudno.
Also on the Great Orme close to the summit are the Great Orme Copper Mines. The mines show what life may have been like for early settlers in North Wales and are believed to be over 4000 years old. Have a look around the tunnels and caverns chiseled from the rock millennia ago on the guided tour as you discover the history of this fantastic attraction.
Back in Llandudno town centre and for the younger generation there is ten pin bowling at Llandudno Superbowl. There is a fully licensed bar at the venue and food available from the cafe. After the ten pin bowling take a walk up through Happy Valley to Ski Llandudno which has an alpine lodge and dry ski slope. A toboggan run is fun for all the family and weaves around the dry ski slope.
