1. The Escape Rooms
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 46 reviews
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.

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).

wonderful place to enjoy with the pooch - especially as the squirrels are definite wind up merchants and love making the dogs go crazy! Highly recommend, especially as the leaves are turning now.

The Transporter Bridge opens for the summer from the beginning of April till the end of September. The Bridge is open Wednesday to Sunday 10.00 a.m. – 5.00 p.m. till the end of September.

Newport Transporter Bridge is Grade 1 listed and is one of eight Tranporters remaing world wide. We want everyone to enjoy their visit to the Transporter Bridge. Some aspects of the bridge, especially the climb to the high level, present a challenge. We therefore ask that visitors wishing to climb the bridge follow our safety guidelines.

The Caerleon Amphitheatre is all part of the extended complex that illustrates the Roman influence in the region. The ruins are impressive and free to access. They help understand Roman life of almost 2000 years ago.

We had coffee and bacon rolls in the cafeteria before our walk. The service , food and coffee is excellent and sensibly priced and well worth a visit. Then take a walk up the canal heading toward Risca, the towpath is in first class condition with no mud and very easy walking, the views as you approach Risca are magnificent .

The Tiny Rebel Brewery Bar serves up the freshest Tiny Rebel beers anywhere in the world, brewed just the other side of the glass wall! With a huge range of beers from our core range to seasonal one-offs, there is something for everyone from sessionable IPAs to hefty strong stouts. You can book a full tour of the Tiny Rebel brewery, setting off from our beautiful brewery bar and kitchen, through the production and packaging areas and tasting a few brews along the way!

4 of us went for the tour and must say it is an interesting set up. Great to learn a bit about the history and see how they have got it to where it is in such a short time. Our tour guide Trevor was great and had full knowledge of the processes and was a great guy. We then followed up the tour with a meal and a few tipples in the brewery bar and again was amazed by the staff. The food portion was more than enough and all 4 meals tasty. I would definitely recommend the salted caramel wings for a starter. Last but not least one of our party is recovering from a stroke and on the way out the security staff approached to assist him down the steps and to the taxi. I really apricate this and would like to thank you for it. Sometimes it is the little things that can make a day and this small gesture did it for us. I hope our appreciation to you all gets fed back. Thanks again
