King's Lynn campsites

Take a family trail through Castle Acre Priory where kids can explore its ruins and enjoy a picnic on the castle grounds. 

Strikes King’s Lynn is also a great option for those that want to enjoy some classic ten pin bowling.

Alternatively, let the kids run wild in the soft play area at Planet Zoom. Snake slides and ball pools are just some of the fun activities on offer.

An absolute must-see is the Military Museum, situated on the edge of the town, which offers an interactive experience taking you all the way back to World War One. Its exhibitions range from a German bunker in WW1 to a firing range in WW2 that contains various replicas of military weapons. Kids can also get involved by dressing up and being a part of history. Perfect for a rainy day.

Learn more about the seaport’s past at True’s Yard Fisherfolk Museum. Here you can experience what life was like in the town’s fishing quarter. Run almost entirely by volunteers, the museum tells the fascinating story of King Lynn’s old fishing community, the North End.

For a different side of history, visit Oxburgh Hall. This manor house built in the 15^th century retains its legacy no matter when you visit.Walk around its magnificent hall or enjoy a picnic with the kids in its grounds for some fresh air.

Outside of town is Snettisham Park. This offers an impressive experience that adults and children can enjoy, such as its deer safari. This 45 minute trip includes the opportunity to meet and feed the park’s herd of red deer.

To see even more fascinating animals, head north of town to Norfolk Lavender where lavender gardens are not all that it’s known for. Their Rare Breeds Animal Centre gives children the chance to see wallabies and the extremely rare Hungarian screw horned sheep. 

Also consider Gooderstone Water Gardens for a fantastic variety of plant and bird life. Located in West Norfolk, walk amongst six acres of beautiful gardens that include a trout stream and a tearoom.

If you’re looking to travel in style around the county, look no further than a ride on a steam train with The Railway Touring Company. The journey is a day out that the whole family can enjoy for a sense of nostalgia and adventure.

Perhaps finish your day with a trip to Wisbech Skaters where older children can enjoy skating on rollers and on ice.

Seaside resorts such as Hunstanton and Cromer are not far from King’s Lynn and are well worth the visit for a day out on some of Norfolk’s beaches. Or book a trip to Blakeney Point to make memories with baby seals at the Blakeney National Nature Reserve.
