To help you make the most of every moment, I’ve put together a list of everything you need to keep all ages entertained.

Beach days and classic coastal fun

No Norfolk holiday is complete without time by the sea. Why not hire a traditional beach hut on Wells Beach with our friends at Happy Huts? It’s the perfect base for a relaxed family day by the coast.

Adventures for younger explorers

For families with younger children, Norfolk is packed with magical, hands-on experiences:

Step into a whimsical woodland world at Bewilderwood (24 minutes away)

Meet exotic animals at Amazona Zoo (16 minutes away)

Get creative and messy at Sticky Earth Cafe (15 minutes away)

Take a charming countryside ride on the Bure Valley Railway (6 minutes away)

Each of these offers a different kind of adventure, from imaginative play to real-life animal encounters, making them perfect for creating those “best day ever” holiday moments.

Teen-friendly thrills and adrenaline

For older kids and teenagers, Norfolk turns up the energy with outdoor action and adventure:

Catch your first wave with lessons at Glide Surf School (17 minutes away)

Push your limits at Extreeme Adventure (52 minutes away)

Race around the track at Kartrak Cromer (14 minutes away)

These experiences are perfect for burning off energy, building confidence, and adding a little adrenaline to your holiday story.

Wildlife moments the whole family will remember

Norfolk is famous for its coastline wildlife and nothing beats seeing it up close! Join a boat trip with Temple Seal Trips (41 minutes away) to watch seals in their natural habitat, or take a coastal walk to see them basking on the sands at Winterton-on-Sea Beach (46 minutes away). I love it there because it’s peaceful, awe-inspiring and a reminder of just how special Norfolk’s natural environment really is.
