Aber Falls is a stunning waterfall with a pram friendly path all the way to the waterfall, making it a great choice for a family day out. The trail is a lovely gravel path that is mostly flat with one small climb. There's lots of spots along the route to stop for a play but the only spots for paddling are at the beginning and at the waterfall (which my kids, and me were disappointed about). The full route is 4.5km and it took us about 2 and half hours to complete with lots of stops and a picnic at the waterfalls.
Please note that this is one of the most popular family walks in North Wales, and as such it can get very busy. We went on a sunny weekend and we could not park in the carparks and got stuck in stand still traffic multiple times on the single track road leading up to the falls. I would recommend getting here very early if you are planning a weekend visit, and/or parking at the car park in the village just past the cafe - it is free, there is a toilet and it will only add 15-20minutes onto your walk.
