Family/kids activities in and around Norwich |
|
There are plenty of ways to keep active during your stay and if the sunshine should disappear momentarily there are some great indoor activities. Norwich has two excellent public swimming pools, one situated next door to the Riverside Shopping Centre with a Jacuzzi, sauna and steam room - so a perfect way to relax after a hard day sightseeing! For some really good exercise have a go at ice skating at the new ice rink just on the outskirts of the city. If you visit during the winter months, skate on the beautiful outdoor rink that is put up outside The Forum. For golf enthusiasts there are some first-rate golf courses just outside the city or for the less serious player try out one of the pitch and putt courses. So be sure to pack for everything! |
