Took some friends and children,haven't bee for a few years as you have to have the children as an excuse. Jack Jay and Johnny were very funny, every act was excellent,the children loved the motorcyclists how brave are they there act was spectacular the whole show from beginning to end was greeted with cheers.The show was packed so we did have limited seats but we sat up the top and had an excellent view.A little bit pricey at £15 for children and £23 for an adult we got ours from the tourist information office i think they maybe slightly cheaper.We went to the afternoon performance and as it was raining kept the children amused for a couple of hours.

Then Through A Fascinating Exhibition Of Great Yarmouths Connections To The Titanic, Onto The Great War And The Second World War, Culminating In A Star Wars Exhibition. It Is A Vibrant Interactive Experience Certainly Not "Stuffy Or Starchy" In Any Way, Adults And Kids Alike Will Love It. Very Very Friendly, Professional And Knowledgeable Staff. My Wife And I Were There 3 Hours And To Be Honest Given The Time Could have Spent All Day. BRILLIANT!!
