Amazing for toddlers!! A warm and friendly welcome, well set up for social distancing with a one-way system, request to touch the interactive buttons with feet or elbows etc. Unlimited crazy golf course play included in entry and feeding the fish (for 20p) plus the sunshine made it a fab full afternoon out for the whole family (2 adults, toddler and infant).

An Absolute Gem Of A "Find" In Great Yarmouth. The Experience Covers The Full History Of The Herring Industry Of Great Yarmouth, With So Much More Included From The Early Bronze Age Through To The Romans (What Did They Ever Do For Us!! LOL). 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!!

Went today for a backstage tour. Ridiculously cheap (£3), lasted well over an hour, very informative and fun. Do go to a future tour. You won't regret it.

As a family we holiday in Norfolk every spring. We love visiting the Yarmouth Stadium for greyhound racing, and last year had a delicious dinner in the main restaurant watching the dogs. We were booked in for dinner and racing again this year, and had paid a deposit. Sadly due to the coronavirus outbreak the evening had to be cancelled. I wanted to write a review to say how impressed we were that Yarmouth Stadium called us to explain the situation and refund us our money without any prompting. Emma was polite, courteous and very efficient on the phone. We look forward to visiting again next year.
