3. All aboard at the Red Wharf Bay Model Village
Housed inside a restored WW2 Nissen hut near Pentraeth, this utterly charming model village makes for a fab indoor attraction on blustery beach days. Marvel at the intricate village scenes from a Hogwarts Express train ride to Snowdonia mountain campsites while conducting your own video stories!
4. Race into history at Pili Palas Nature World

6. Go beachcombing
Of course, we can’t compile an Anglesey family activity guide without mentioning the island’s incredible beaches! Pack a picnic or try beach games like rounders and cricket for hours of free fun. Just don’t forget your bucket and spade for sandy castle construing or seeing what special stones and shells you can uncover...
