ne May weekend we decided to take our three boys, aged 9, 7 and 4, to visit Norfolk Dinosaur Park. We had been quite a few years ago when our youngest was just a baby. We all had a great day out then but this time we
were looking forward to all the boys being able to join in with the fun.

The weather was unseasonally cold but that didn’t stop them enjoying every minute of the day. In fact it was difficult to get them to leave when the park closed at the end of the day. The children loved following the trail and finding the life-size dinosaurs hidden amongst the woodland. As they go around the park, they collect stamps from different locations and this helped keep the enthusiasm of the older ones- with the added incentive of a prize at the end. There were quite a few new additions to the Park since we were last here, including the Secret Animal Garden with some small creatures that I certainly found just as scary as the big ones outside. The boys particularly enjoyed being able to stroke the snakes and hedgehogs. The deer safari was great and the staff informative and enthusiastic. There was so many activities going on, it was quite hard to take it all in. The children loved the adventure playgrounds and I (Mum) particularly like the trampolines as it tired them out so much that they slept all the way home!

Verdict: A fantastic day - highly recommended.
