In and around Norwich

We spent a weekend in and around Norwich during one for the half-terms and we had a good time. The places are not near the city centre so having a car will be helpful although not essential as some places are quite long but easy to get to via public transport. However, we stayed in the town centre with lot of child friendly places to eat. Here's what we've done:

1. ROARR Dinosaur Park - As you know Mahi is crazy about dinosaurs so wherever we go we must do something related to dinosaurs. This place was huge. I did;t know how big it could be and a whole day was happily spent there. There was a large trail of prehistoric trail with all the dinosaurs along the way with easy to read information of them. There were also building a new attraction which should be opened by now There was many play areas, a learning centre which holds special shows during half terms. Mahi was the centre of the show  (literally) as he became a little paleontologist. There also had a farm with the usual animals and some other non-farm animals.  There was other activities also such a faceprinting, dinosaurs walking around, an indoor go-karting space, splash park opened during warm weather. Most of the places are outdoor so pick a good day to go!

2. Bewilderwood - If you read the books, you will be happy to know that you can see the place in real-life! It is a magical place filled with little creatures just like in the books. You have to take a boat to go to the mainland to go across the swamp filled with crocodiles. Once you land, the land is a big adventure playground. There's so many playgrounds that you can get on, yes yourselves too, that it feels like turning into a child. They also have shows which tells part of the stories of the books. We came out exhausted but I was in such a content state having felt like a kid again!

3. Right in the town centre there's the Norwich Castle which holds a special activities during the school holidays. We went on a mystery hunt which took us through the castle and it's history. It was not expensive and a quick way to learn the history of the city. x

3. We also caught a show in the Norwich Theatre where we caught the Jungle Book. It was a small cosy theatre but an amazing performance and a great way to end our time in Norwich.
