PrimEvil

You'll find PrimEvil just east of Norwich, a theme park that's genuinely different from the usual seaside fare. It's dinosaur-focused - think Jurassic Park meets British theme park cheekiness - and the appeal is straightforward: animatronic creatures, rides themed around prehistoric chaos, and enough roaring to keep kids entertained for a solid afternoon.

The park works best for families with children aged five to early teens. Younger kids might find some of the dinosaurs a touch intimidating (they're designed to look properly menacing), but that's rather the point. Adults won't get much from it unless they're tagging along with excited youngsters. Allow three to four hours to do it properly without rushing.

Staying nearby is easy. Moat Island Glamping sits just 3.8 miles away and gets consistently brilliant reviews - proper glamping setups if you want a step up from tent camping. Bylaugh Country Park Caravan and Campsite, 4.8 miles out, offers traditional facilities for those bringing a caravan.

I'd recommend checking opening times and admission costs before you go - PrimEvul doesn't have a particularly prominent online presence, so a quick call to Norwich's tourist office might save you a wasted trip. If dinosaurs are your thing and you're basing yourself near Norwich for a broader Norfolk park holiday, it's worth a half-day visit. Just don't expect thrills on the scale of Blackpool or Alton Towers. This is smaller, more niche, and honestly better for that.
