For a truly electrifying family day out, visit Electric Mountain Visitor Centre, Llanberis, where you’ll discover the amazing powers of pumped storage hydro-electricity in an educational environment.

Take a journey of exploration, marvel at the sheer size of the massive inlet valve chambers and see close up the world’s fastest response turbine generators–they go from zero to full power in seconds! Descending deep inside the ancient Elidir mountain’s labyrinth of dark and imposing tunnels, you’ll experience one of man’s greatest engineering achievements

Electric Mountain is a great education experience, making it a fantastic school trip destination.

Children will learn about how power is generated and supplied to their area. They will enjoy hands-on learning activities outside the classroom which will lead to better achievement, standards, motivation, personal development and behaviour.

Hands-on interactivity is significant in the knowledge and understanding which a child has of science and can have a lasting impact on attitude and understanding. Similarly, it will promote trust and understanding.

Discovering new places to learn will undoubtedly add extra depth to pupils’ and students’ learning and experience, as well as sparking imagination.

The Electric Mountain is a popular attraction with over 225,000 visitors to the Dinorwig Power Station or Visitor Centre each year.
