The Royal Mint Experience was very good. The tour walking through the machine area was interesting and the young man giving out the information was very knowledgeable. We actually made a £2 coin on the day which we now have as souvenir. There is a cafe and toilets on site and a very large museum for you to visit. No photographs allowed on the tour

I really enjoyed visiting the Royal Mint. The guide was very knowledgeable and informative throughout the tour. Seeing where the coins are made in the factory was interesting. You can mint your own coin. The exhibition was really well put together and showed lots of history of coin making, with exhibits of coins, medals and equipment used to priduce them. There's a lovely shop where you can purchase coins and other gifts from. The staff were friendly, and you can eat and drink in their friendly restaurant. Overall a superb day out.

What a fantastic experience, booked it for my Mum's 85 surprise, the first person I met was on reception at the shop, (missed her name) long dark wavy hair, was also our guide later in the day, she was amazing, it made the whole experience very special, we had a beautiful Welsh stew for lunch and visited the factory and stamped our own coin, were able to browse the exhibition, very professional and even have my mum a gift. Thankyou for a wonderful day 👏 👏👏 various tours are available, we enjoyed the experience with lunch, afternoon tea also available. 😄

A great experience walking amongst the machines (no photography allowed in this area) which make the money and fascinating to learn how much work goes into minting a coin. There is also a comprehensive museum you can visit at the end. Plenty of parking, although, not well signposted. Best buy tour tickets in advance. Allow at least 2 hours.
