About Norfolk attractions

From make-believe roars at Dinosaur Adventure to real roars at our award-winning zoos; from oohs and aahs at the cuddly animal centres to a pure adrenalin rush as they experience the rides at the Pleasure Beach; Norfolk's just one big adventure playground.

And adults have fun too. Explore Norfolk's grand stately homes and HM The Queen's country residence at Sandringham, wander round age-old castles, sites and priories, climb up to the top of Norfolk's working windmills, visit peaceful water gardens and specialist plant centres and then stop off for a welcome cup of tea and delicious piece of cake.

There's rose gardens and railways, nature reserves and nurseries, military museums, steam engines, craft centres, boat trips, country parks and wildlife parks. Marvel at ancient monuments, potter round museums and galleries, try a tipple at the breweries and cider makers and have some good old fashioned fun at the fair. There's plenty of things to do in Norfolk.

The beautiful scenery and great outdoors are inspirational and you'll find yourself trying things you would never have thought of before. How about swinging from the high ropes aerial assault course at Go Ape! in Thetford Forest; or going up in a hot air balloon; or setting out for some offshore fishing; or working your way out of a seven acre maize maze; or even braving a close encounter with a 14ft python, bearded dragon or fully grown American Alligator? The attractions in Norfolk can be larger than life!

Fill your days with fun and laughter and experience the highs of a holiday in Norfolk.
