If you get the current issue of the Norfolk free ads (free where you can find them. most supermarkets have them) then on page 45ish there is a page of money off vouchers. They will be worth having. Also gve you some ideas of what to do.

Just watch out in yarmouth they have mad a lot of street residents only parking so its harder to find somewhere but there are still some spots about.

Hi,
Your kids are the right age for Yarmouth, you will love it. Do you have a car? If so a trip to pleasure hills, (between yarmouth and lowestoft) is a must, lots of open space, some rides, some shows, sealion show that would be fine for the 8,6 and 3 yo, even the 1 yo could go on some things with you.
You could spend a whole day there, admission is done via height, so might not be too expensive. There is also a supermarket near the entrance so you get get picnic stuff there as there are indoor and outdoor picnic places on the park.

Are you staying at hemsby beach chalets - we stayed there on a sun holiday and they where horrible, you will only want to sleep there.

Also in yarmouth is the seafront itself, miles of sand, some theme rides, pleasure beach rides are for older kids on the whole but there are a few for smaller kids, but also along the front you can take a horse and carriage ride, there are trampolines, a boating lake, a younger rides place (joyland) but you buy tokens for rides so can be expensive.


There is also petites animal farm (you will need a car), http://www.pettittsadventurepark.co.uk/index.asp
redwings horse rescue centre - -this is free admission. http://www.redwings.org/
Thrigby Hall Wildlife Gardens - http://www.thrigby.plus.com/home.htm

Pettits as mentioned in an above post will be great for your kids at the ages they are. Its about £9 to get in for an adult. Under 3s are free and im not sure how much for kids but worth every penny. If you are staying on a haven park you will get the tickets the cheapest by buying from them before you go. We saved £4 that way.

Thrigby Hall wildlife gardens are good too but more expensive to get in. Adults about £11, again i dont know about children but under 3s free again.

We were just there last week.

Hi - just read this post by Josie123 on the GoSummer thread ......

hi new to this site but was looking for discount tickets for flamingo land i know last minute.com do them but none for 28th april{ tomorrow} any ideas or links???? also just to warn others Premier Inns are advertising 2 for 1 tickets but only applies if you stay in a premier inn nearby and take inthe receipt

so you might have a problem trying to use the Premier travelinn vouchers. Perhaps try but don't rely on them?

Just went on www.letsgoeastofengland.com as Mother-in-law lives in Lowestoft, there are loads of places on the site. Looked at suffolk and norfolk as shes close to both. Also the pizzahut kids go free www.kidsattraction.com have got quite a few vouchers for that area. But always pop into the tourist info or pick up any leaflets about attractions as they always have money off vouchers in them.
But best of all pop in the £1 shop buy a kite, bucket & spade and spend the day on the beach.....let the kids amuse themselves the way kids should. Just remember the sun cream!!!
