Reasonably interesting small museum. A little light on content, but fills an hour! The £5 entry (per person, children free) gives you a years free admission, which seems extremely good value for money, although I wonder how many people actually go for a second time!

I visited Llandundo museum today and I must say this museum is very well organised and managed. It's not a very big museum but still the way they kept everything neet and tidy it is really commendable. Every aspect present their have it's own charm and with unique details. At the very end, I also got an oppurtunity to have a chat with the staffs working there and I must say they are very charming and had a lovely smile on their faces with an excellent behaviour. If you are visiting Llandundo surly give this beautiful charitable museum a visit.

I came here recently with a small group of friends, we were greeted by kind staff and shown around this lovely well kept museum by a wonderfully passionate staff member (sorry I didn't catch his name!). As someone who doesn't know much of the local history I learnt loads, even my history buff friends learnt a lot too, well worth the visit!

A wonderful find in the heart of the town showing a wide breadth of local history from Llandudno war time, sunken ships, to Roman and Bronze Age facts and finds. Well worth the visit. The staff were very friendly and happy to chat and the building had multiple places to pause, toilets and a lovely shop with lots of books and crafts from local artisans. Would recommend to anyone.
