3. The Escape Rooms

You and up to five friends are locked in our themed room for 60 minutes and have to escape. Sounds simple? You’ll need to work together as a team to decipher clues, complete puzzles and work out exactly what’s real and what’s not if you want to beat our puppet masters. Whether you’re new to escape rooms or a seasoned expert, we’re sure you’ll be surprised.

I went to the escape rooms with my girlfriend and some mutual friends for what was essentially our third date and we’re still together now, so maybe that colours my opinion but we all had a great time!! The rooms were fun, immersive and story driven. A lot of thought had clearly gone in to making the puzzles fit within the theme and even the clue delivery systems matched the themes for each room and didn’t break the reality. We only went for one room but we enjoyed it so much and got lucky that they could squeeze us in for a second game the same day! Plus when you visit the escape rooms they give you a voucher for money off food and drink at a bar round the corner called Tiny Rebel so of course we ate there too and had a smashing afternoon all round. Best escape rooms I’ve seen and I’ve played about 10 now.

An interactive paintball shooting experience for all to enjoy without the pain of being hit. We use realistic paintball markers which are accurate to hit targets which change colour and move to suit the ability of the shooter.

Half-term trip with 2 children (7, 11). Went 3 times over the course of 3 days. Great displays and lots of interesting items for all ages, well displayed and aimed at a mixture of abilities. Good interactive material from traditional paper quizzes and fact sheets to more modern media (iPad style). During the holidays (and perhaps weekends ?) a good selection of children's activities including pottery making, dressing up and an excellent 'mock-up' barracks room with a great Legionnaire. Educational staff we encountered were all excellent, particularly for pottery making and the ' Legionnaire - very informative. Would recommend (also free currently).

10. Caerleon Roman Fortress and Baths
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 641 reviews
The remains on view at Caerleon provide the visitor with a vivid picture of life in second-century Roman Britain. Some 12 miles down the Roman road you will come across Venta Silurum, the first town in Wales and the tribal capital of the Silures. We call it Caerwent today. If you get a chance, pop down to see its surrounding walls and the remains of shops, a Romano-Celtic temple and the forum-basilica. The displayed opening times are our general pattern. Please check the Cadw website for specific times and days, including closures.

This was a second tour of Wales using wherewhenwales.com tours. It was of the Wye Valley area including stops at Caerleon Roman Fortress and Baths, Chepstow Castle, Tintern Abbey, and the scenic Wye Valley. Stopped in Monmouth Town for lunch on this day long tour. Very good guide.
