At some point in their educational careers, your children will likely study the works of poet Dylan Thomas. “œRage, rage against the dying light. Do not go gentle into that good night.” He was born and raised in Swansea (as was acress Catherine Zeta-Jones). Thomas’™ poetry is credited with influencing her, as well as many great talents, including John Lennon and Richard Burton. The centre does a commendable job of documenting Thomas’™ life, but lacks many of the interactive components that might help younger children appreciate this literary giant.

If you schedule your visit on a Wednesday, it’s possible to enjoy dinner at the Thomas home.
