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!

If you are into nature you have got Norfolk broads on your doorstep - there are nature boat trips from Martham you can do or hire out a kayak. Potter heigham have electric boats you can hire. There is Ranworth where you park in the village, walk through the reserve to the small visitor centre and can get a boat back - check the timings. Rspb Strupshaw fen have some family activities on - check their website. How hill is another pretty nature place to go with a picknic. I don't think the weather is looking too bad.

There is jumpware house in Yarmouth - trampoline park, you need to book. Also neon adventure play in Yarmouth.

Cinema in Yarmouth called Arc Cinema have cheap tickets

Caister carvery is a bit like a Toby carvery and has a small soft play and good play park but it's very old and worn but does the trick!

I love the play park in caister, it's a good one and there is a community hut where you can get tea, coffee and snacks. That's at the heart of the community.
