Padarn Country Park - this is an amazing place as it has such a variety of things to see and do. Llanberis slate museum.
I'm not usually a museum person but this one is well worth a visit, if only to see the water wheel and watch the slate splitting demo.

A trip on the Snowdon Star is not only a good boat ride but it also provides some great photo opportunities.
