The story of Cardiff with interactive technology. I especially enjoyed the stories told by the older residents of Cardiff, a great view into their lives in the past. Great for families and singles.

Myself (30) and my mum (60) visited and it was fantastic. The movie showing all different Welsh trades was great-highly recommend.

It was just one of those typical modern stadia with no or little atmosphere. Drinks, food really expensive. Stadium is in the middle of a retail park so my advise is use the McDonalds, Greggs or other fast food outlets around.

Slap bang in the middle of Cardiff's shopping streets you will find the Cardiff Story. On one side accessBle thru the TIC, on the other side it has it's own door. A lift is available. There is a lot to see: how C. came to be, how/when it was built and extended, who lived there, what did these people do, what did they believe in, etc. There are movies, pictures, artefacts and all together the make for a clear picture of C thru the ages. There was a special exhibition where people could think about C. in the years to come. Demolish, build, renovate, extend, shrink, more homes, more work, etc. Etc. This was part of a wider discussion and all over town there were attractions/exhibitions with this as a central theme. Very interesting

I was a regular at this building when it was the Cardiff Library and I have many memories of that time. They have done a great job presenting Cardiff as it was. I learned that my Dad, who was a Fireman from 937 to 1947 wore a shiny firemans helmet, he never told me.Well worth a visit, go to the market as well another historical area.
