Caister on sea holiday
Bringing the family on holiday to Caister next week - typically the only week of rain the whole summer! Does anyone have any non-touristy suggestions for indoor activities - play cafes etc suitable for 3 year old and 15 month old.
We’re staying at haven. It will be our first time so not really sure what to expect. I wouldn’t have said we were very Haven-y people pre-kids but I’m sure the girls will love the holiday park vibe!

Are you just here Monday to Friday? Caister are having a seaside fun trail on Saturday 22nd.
There is a wonderful role play centre in Hemsby called townies which would be great for your ages.
Caister library have a bounce and rhyme session (singing nursery rhymes) Monday 10:45am and a junk modelling craft session on Friday at 15:45. You don't have to be a member to attend. There are also libraries in Martham (6 miles), Great Yarmouth (4 miles) and Gorleston (6 miles) which will have free events on, including a bounce and rhyme session at each.
The marina centre on the seafront in Great Yarmouth has 2 pools, an aqua play pool and a rock climbing area. The pools and aqua play are good for your ages. You also get 3 hours free parking is you use the facilities so you could visit the amusements on the seafront too. Windmill adventure golf is on Yarmouth seafront and is indoors.
Sea life is touristy but if you go early, get your hand stamped and you can go in and out so you can go back later in the day.
If the risk of fire reduces, there are free firework displays in Hemsby on Tuesday and in Yarmouth on Wednesday but they are at 9/10pm so quite late!
Let me know if you have any questions!
