For history lovers, Swansea is home to both Wales’ oldest and newest museums. Both are free to enter and offer fascinating insights into the city’s rich heritage.

4. Get Creative!

This Mother's Day, why not swap the usual flowers and chocolates for a hands-on creative experience? Try a pottery class where you can mould and paint a unique keepsake or join a guided painting session to create a colourful masterpiece. You could also get crafty with tile decorating or designing one-of-a-kind jewellery. 

Not only will you have fun, but every time your mum sees your handmade creation, she’ll be reminded of the special time you spent together—no matter how wonky that vase may be!

5. Family Fun and Adventure!

For ladies who love adventure, surprise your mum with an exciting outdoor experience like paddleboarding, kayaking or even a surfing lesson - perfect for adding an exhilarating twist to your family day out!

After an action-packed time on the water, keep the fun going indoors. Challenge mum to a round of crazy golf, test her reflexes in a fast-paced laser game, or explore a tropical zoo where she can get up close with incredible creatures and even feed the crocs! It’s the ultimate way to share laughs, experience thrills, and create lasting memories together!

So go ahead - plan something unforgettable and treat that special person to a weekend she’ll cherish!
