Family favourites Dan-yr-Ogof Showcaves and Llechwedd Deep Mine will open to the public this weekend.
The attractions have been shut for more than four months due to the coronavirus pandemic, but now adventure-lovers can explore once more as underground experiences have been given the go-ahead to finally reopen - with extra hygiene practices in place, of course.
Other attractions like Bounce Below and Wales' Coal Mining Experiences at Big Pit and Rhondda Heritage Park are also getting ready to reopen soon.
From Saturday, July 25, people can enjoy Llechwedd ’s Deep Mine underground tour, alongside their Quarry Explorer and Quarry Walking tours, which opened earlier this month.
For the safety of visitors and employees of Llechwedd, the mine tours will run at a reduced capacity and will include sanitisation points throughout. Visitors will also be given face masks before their descent on the railway – the steepest of its kind in the country.
Down in Abercrave, near Swansea, the National Showcaves at Dan-Yr-Ogof are good to go this weekend, too, with plenty of preparation and hygiene measures in place.
Areas open for exploration this summer are the Dan-yr-Ogof Cave, Cathedral Cave, The Dinosaurs, Iron Age Farm. The Farm and Shire Horse Centre.
Visitors and staff will also be required to wear face masks and enhanced cleaning procedures will be conducted, including using fogging machines to clear large areas.
If you want to visit both Llechwedd Deep Mine and Dan-r-Ogof then you must pre-book your tickets.
At the Zip World Slate Caverns in Blaenau Ffestiniog, Bounce Below is reopening on Monday, July 27.

They include, wearing a face covering, enhanced cleaning and reduced availability to optimise the space.
Welsh Mining Experiences Big Pit and Rhondda Heritage Park will also be reopening to visitors soon.
Blaenafon's Big Pit National Coal Museum, which has been collecting Covid stories from Wales during the lockdown, will welcome people back from September 1. Visitors will have to pre-book their free tickets.
