St Fagans is a fun day out and is the best price - FREE! (well, donations)
It's an open air museum of Welsh life, where they move historic buildings from elsewhere in Wales and rebuild them. On certain days they have actors playing the roles of those who lived/worked in the buildings, most days they have craftsmen/women such as leather workers, clog makers etc.
Not really focussed on industrial things, more early farming, but the row of terrace houses which takes you from early 1800 up to 1980s is very interesting.
There's a lot of walking involved, but the coffee shops are good, and there's also a high ropes course and various playground areas for kids. There's also a proper Welsh pub - this wasn't here last time I visited but you can see how they're trying to build a village with the terrace opposite and the police station coming next.
