This place is amazing.
One word of caution, wear the safety hat they provide. I lost count of the times I cracked my head on the roof, without the hat I'd be sporting a few stitches.
The tunnels were built and used by kids so some are low and narrow. I actually had to turn sideways in some places which makes it difficult to duck, if you're on the chubby side you may not fit.
The visitor centre/shop has a decent collection of stones and minerals to buy. I got myself a nice geode and a piece of slate with a fossil of a trilobite, the first land creature to have eyes.
It's really worth a visit and a bit further on is the summit complex with some nice views, of course it was wet and dismal when we went.

Great Orme copper mine
Well, between showers, we managed to take a walk round Great Orme today. More details and photos on our return.
