“Great place to visit, the view from the tower is fantastic. The car museum has lots of vintage cars and some that bring back memories of your first car! Toilets were clean and well kept. We visited the tearoom and though it was clean, it was very basic. Cakes were nice but not a lot of choice. No hot snacks were available all you had was a choice of cold sausage roll or cold cheese and onion roll not very appetising. Tea was nice but it was made in a cup by the lady, no offer of a teapot!” Jennie, TripAdvisor (2024)

“Good combo of rides. Wrist band definitely worth it especially as got half price for blue badge. Quite a lot of spinning rides which is no good for my wife but I enjoyed them all. Food was reasonable priced. Was a nice way to spend 3 hours” – Richard, Google (2024)
“Lots of family friendly rides, photos/keyring etc were reasonably priced by souvenir standards. Queues for rides went down quickly and mostly walk on. We brought wristbands all round. But in hindsight perhaps should’ve gone with a fun card next time. As my son did not need or want to be accompanied on the rides! 😂 Food outlets looked absolutely crazy for queues, don’t be put off as it was well organised and fast moving!

“Our first experience of banger racing at the Yarmouth Stadium and we had a really great time. A whole evening of entertainment for our family of 2 adults and 2 children was £50 which we felt was good value. Get to the Stadium early to get the best positions to watch from or get a seat in the stands. Young children may want some ear protection as the racing is quite loud. We purchased a couple of pairs from the stadium shop which wasn’t expensive. Great night highly recommended. 👍” Daz, Google (2024)
