One of three Zip World attractions in the area (the others are in Bethesda and Blaenau Ffestiniog), it is in the forest. The 'Zip Safari' is a treetop journey along 23 zip lines and other rope courses, and the Junior Tree Trail is its kid-friendly cousin. 'Plummet Tower' is a 31-m climbing pole and parachute simulator (basically you climb to the top then jump off — great fun!). Other attractions include a giant swing and the 1-km Fforest Coaster.

A very small railway museum, but it has a small rideable model steam train for kids and an electric tram.
Small exhibition.
The path to the falls is accessed via a turnstile at a charge of £1. While the falls are indeed beautiful there are similar rapids closer to town and free of charge: for instance at the Miners Bridge (1 mile west) and at the Pont-y-pair bridge (in town), both free of charge. The falls can also be viewed free of charge from the opposite bank by following the riverside public footpath downstream for 1 mile from Ty Hyll (below).
