    the pleasure beach at Great yarmouth . £20 per person for unlimited rides. Parking is also free by redemption of a voucher from the carpark attendant. It's no alton towers, but worth a look.
    Never put off till tomorrow what you can do today!:mad:
    Cos if you do it today and like it...You can do it again tomorrow.. :p

    Great Yarmouth has a Stock Car/Banger Racing track with regular meetings on Sundays and Mid week - Loud but something different.

    The track is also used for greyhound racing on other days.

    Norwich is only 30 minutes drive away (Or a train journey) reasonable sized city with good choice shops etc and a castle.

    Circus is ok, not cheap thou.

    If you have sea legs can visit Scrooby Sands just off yarmouth to potentially see seals and a closer look at wind farm. Boats from beach near pier prices/times?

    Retroskate is indoor skate park (in Marina Centre - Sea Front) good for those wet days!

    10-Pin Bowling available in Regents Road (150m from beach)

    Think there is an indoor kart centre (Evolution)

    A Segway racing Track on sea front near Pleasure Beach - £5pp for 10 laps

    There should be plenty to do for teenagers, but cost could soon add up !!
    Trawl the internet for discount vouchers prior to going or pick up tourist leaflets for the odd pound off.:beer:
