St. Fagans National Museum of History

Absolutely gorgeous place. It was our first time in wales and I looked up a few nice things to do in Cardiff where this open air museum popped up.

Really exceeded my expectations and I can highly recommend it to anyone. Dogs are also welcome!

Amazing place to visit, access is free (donations accepted) so much to look at and do, gives a really good understanding of history and the types of accommodation and housing, house and gardens are impressive with such variety of flora and fauna. Definitely worth a visit. There are lots of activities for children to do, you can book to do high ropes, play parks. Plenty of open area for them to run around in.

Well worth the visit. I've been several times since I was a child. Lots to see and do. Fantastic demonstrations of skills and crafts from history.

It's one of my favourite places to visit. Entrance if free and parking is £ 6.00 for the day.
Wonderful restored buildings showing Welsh heritage. Grounds are enchanting and peaceful. There is just so much to see outside. There is an indoor museum too , but always seem to run out of time to visit it. Good selection of refreshments available.
I think it offers a great day out for any age group.

St. Fagan’s is absolutely incredible and if you’re visiting Wales, you must add this to your bucket list. It’s a living, breathing, outdoor history museum, and there’s interesting things for people of all ages. I had a wonderful time chatting with the baker and several of the workers and it was just amazing the amount of history that is all around you here. Be sure to check out the museum exhibits inside as well. Very clean bathrooms, and I love how everything is in welsh and English. I learned lots of words today and it was a history lover’s dream come true.

It is amazing for being free. The car park is six pounds but there isn't an entry fee. The galleries are spaced out well so you're not on top of one another and they're quite interesting. The houses that have been moved and rebuilt are very cool and beautiful. The lakes nearer the back of the woods are beautiful and so is the house. It is definitely worth a visit if you're in the area or not.

This Really is a great day out, free admission too.

Mixture of history and nature, with some nice walks thrown into the mix.

Plenty of parking available at £6 for all day, a dining hall in the main building and lots of clean toilets around the site.

The castle and gardens are really nice, with lots of interesting flowers.

Excellent experience, recreation of authentic Welsh buildings & historical life. A great range of buildings, from farmsteads, religious places, industrial & retail outlets; an Elizabeth and Castle & grounds. Supplemented by museum displays & exhibitions. Reasonable outlet serving a wide range of beverages, hot & cold food.

This place is absolutely amazing and it's FREE. Bear in mind you may have to pay for parking but it's worth the cost. A really accessible ♿ museum suitable for all ages with so much to see. Knowledgeable staff who show a real pleasure informing you about the history of certain aspects of Wales' culture and heritage.

Absolutely fabulous place lots of grounds to walk lots of Welsh history. Each season has its own beauty of colours. Free entry £6 for car parking

Lovely walk around the grounds, lovely to see the buildings. Children enjoying school trips, not too busy. Cafe to eat, gift shop, plenty of knowledgeable staff. Lovely. £6 car parking.

Great place for family & friends day out. I loved the museum, garden, animals and so in. Really enjoyed it. Going back again at some point to explore more about this beautiful place.

А wonderful museum of Welsh history. You can walk here all day! Each house in the museum is a story of the life of the Welsh.

Highly recommended but expect a long walk, it's free apart from parking, fantastic day out solo or as a family, lots to see and well worth the visit, take a picnic as the food is quite pricey, lovely gift shop and all the staff are very welcoming would certainly visit again

I was there on a bank holiday, and it is lush! Recommended as a fantastic family day out. The main drawback was the dining hall, which had a limited selection of food, was pricey, and did not have food that looked particularly appetizing. It had a mixture of history, gorgeous walks, and a great play area. Dogs are welcome, and admission is free. Please avoid buses 17 and 18, they are the wrong ones to take! The correct bus to take to get back to Cardiff's downtown was number 32.

Went over to St Fagans whilst I was staying in Cardiff during the Bank Holiday.

It is also free admission.

There are good bus links from Cardiff city centre to St Fagans so you don't need to bother with the car.

The place is really interesting as they have saved and reconstructed a lot of buildings from all over Wales

They also have interesting exhibitions inside as well.

I expect that I will be going back when I am back in Cardiff to see what new exhibits they have.

An interesting and informative museum with relocated Welsh buildings encompassing and showing life and activities through the ages. Free to visit. One visit is insufficient and having visited it several times before this will not be the last.

A great place to learn about the yester years of Wales. Make sure to dedicate a full day to properly enjoy the experience. I will have to go back again some day to cover the areas I missed.
If you are taking public transport from Cardiff, you can take bus 320. Do not follow Google's suggestion to take bus C1. There's no walkway along the Michaelstone Road and the road is a single line.

St Fagans has a variety of props, mansions and gardens that will take you through a time lapse of Welsh culture. It's free as well.
You can walk through a time lapse of the Welsh home decade to decade. Go to a traditional sweet shop. Visit Victorian gardens. Visit a solicitors house who served Elizabeth 1st. And my favourite part was looking at the olden rural development which would have housed entire families and their animals. The tour guides will tell you loads about the the props and social history. I was curious and asked about the history and it's curtious to do so.
The old school house and court house was was my favourite they were quite spooky.

only £6 to park for the full day and there is so much to see 1 trip isn't always long enough. I've been so many times and only this time I found the castle and gardens, canal with fountains running through. It's just beautiful.

Always enjoy walking through time in the houses as well.

there's loads of picnic areas dotted around to sit and eat. Coffee shop and food/snacks to buy if you haven't brought a picnic. The little fair was fun for the kids too with old time gamblers to play with.

This is a fab place for a whole day out with as little spending as possible. One of my favourite places to visit in Wales since I was a kid.
