The plan

Morning: Pili Palas

Start in the warm butterfly house, then the reptiles, minibeasts and indoor Play Zone. Last admission is 3.45pm.

Lunch: Dylan’s Menai Bridge

Pizza and seafood with big windows over the Strait, five minutes away. Or use the café at Pili Palas.

Winter or wet-day swaps

Pili Palas hasn’t published its winter opening yet. From November, Anglesey Sea Zoo is open every day and mostly under cover, or try Cubs Play Centre in Llangefni (90-minute sessions, children £7.50).

Stops on this plan

Attractions & museums

Pili Palas Nature World

Live butterflies, snakes, meerkats and a big indoor play zone just outside Menai Bridge. A good bet whatever the weather.
