Will be staying near Criccieth, two days will be spent on the Black rock sands and one day on Snowdon the watkin path
I have been thinking about a trip to the northern coast, maybe Llandudno for a ride on a cable car or tram. Or is the zoo at Colwyn Bay worth a visit.
Anyone got any tips. I want something to cater for my three year old daughter, castles are one thing as she loves running around these but I will have plenty of these with Harlech and Criccieth.

Barmouth has lots of sand.

Hmm yes but so do the Black Rock sands which are very close to the campsite so beach activities are catered for.
-
Caernarfon and Conway have big castles
Porthmadog has a steam railway
Portmerion for the Prisoner experience
Centre for alternative technology near Esgairgeilog north of (Machynlleth)

My lad used to love going to the Mountain Zoo in Colwyn Bay when he was younger, tram and cable car are OK, Llandudno's worth a little visit as is Conwy. Slate caverns in Ffestinog also well worth a visit and there's a few places with little trains which kids of all ages love...

Caernarfon is a great sit and the wife loves the shops for her touristy nik naks. Never been to Conway yet. Went on the Ffestinog railway two years ago, good but nothing much at the other end. Or if there was it is not well sign posted. This year we are giving Portmerion a miss. We have been twice, we love it but the kids dont.

Maybe the zoo will be the place to go. Is the cable car up and running at Llandudno? I here it was under renorvation during 2005 season. I think I once went to the slate caverns when i was younger and it was great but my sister went recently and was not impressed, it has changed and you cant go through as much of the caverns as you used to. Too much H&S regulation I suppose.

Open yes. Be a bit of trek south though....

Most of the things i was gonna suggest are listed by Manicminer, King Arthers labyrinth is good, i went there 4 ish years ago, very intersting and you get in via an under ground barge in a flooded mine tunnel, very cool.
Scenery around there is stunning too, quite a bit south tho IIRC. :D
