We decided to book this game at short notice, after our holiday in Norfolk started out decidedly wet and we needed something indoors to enjoy. Despite some first time nerves, this ended up being a ln absolutely superb escape game and out game master Holly was fab; friendly knowledgeable and helpful when we needed it! We escaped with 1min 12 secs to spare and found it very tricky (2 players). We definitely want to come back to enjoy a tour run by this company and to do the Blickling escape room too. Highly recommended!

Eaton Park Crazy Golf and Putting

An 18-hole crazy golf course situated in a beautiful award-winning heritage park

Reviewed By katehilton89 - Norwich, United Kingdom

My partner and I had a bunch of fun doing the crazy golf in Eaton park. The guy in the kiosk was really friendly and helpful. It’s a pretty simple set up. All the challenges are created using different terrain heights, rocks and wooden blocks. Even so, its challenging enough while still being a lot of fun. Really reasonably priced. I’d definitely recommend going if you’re looking for a little bit of fun on your day off.

My child's 10th party for 6 girls was great fun this week. The instructor was fun, girls loved the activities and to keep costs down we took their own packed lunches and ate them in the cafe area with birthday cake. Parents had lovely coffees and snacks from the cafe and enjoyed being able to watch the girls climb. Thanks to all the helpful friendly staff.

Really enjoyable experience as always. No bowling due to covid restrictions, so just drinks and food with friends outside. Friendly and attentive service, good prices including great-tasting 241 cocktails anytime on different cocktails and a variety of them, great tasting food and well-chosen music. They even moved us to another table when our time ended and never pushed us to leave. Will be going again soon to use my new membership and to bowl too!

We (2 adults & 2 children) had an amazing experience at Norwich VR. We did the Huxley escape and I can honestly say that out of all the escape rooms I have done, this was one of the best. I have never done a VR one before and I was a little apprehensive on what the experience would be like. However, The graphics, gameplay and general feel of the game was fantastic. So engaging that the time just flies by. The whole time we were in there it literally was so realistic and smooth gameplay, it’s freaky! The host was very informative and helpful. I thoroughly enjoyed myself and my kids wanted to do another one straight away! Amazing experience, we will be back!!
