Kids & Families

The East of England is a fantastic place for families on holiday with many Seaside Resorts catering to just that.

Animals & amusements

Animals are also a big part of the mix with many at the numerous top Zoos, Safari Parks & Farms.

Otherwise for pure entertainment there are theme parks like Pleasurewood Hills, Bewilderwood and Roarr! where you can discover the world of dinosaurs or take a ride on a scream-evoking roller coaster.

Walking & history

But don’t forget the simple pleasures of Walking & Nature Reserves and exploring Wild Beaches with older kids, while trips on Vintage Railways can be fun for all.

There’s more history aimed at kids at various other venues in the region including Gressenhall and museums like the Sainsbury Centre UEA. Meanwhile various Stately Homes, such as Sandringham Estate and Wrest Park often have play areas and events aimed at kids.
