When the weather is dry and the sky is bright, seize the day and get outside to play. From farm tours to model villages, adventure golf and outdoor pursuits, Great Yarmouth has so many things to do outside, you'll be hard pushed to decide what to do first. Simply get out there and enjoy the fun

If you're keen to be outdoors on your holiday or day trip, then Great Yarmouth is the place for you. As well as beaches, Broads and countryside to explore, there are some fantastic fun attractions for you to visit as well.

The area is renowned for it's fun adventure golf courses, with themes ranging from pirates to dinosaurs, stonehenge to safari animals and castaway island. Pitch and putt courses are also available, as are 18 hole, 9 hole and driving ranges if you take your holiday golf a bit more seriously.

The seaside is known for having theme parks and fairgrounds, and Great Yarmouth won't disappoint, with the Pleasure Beach, the Pleasure Beach Gardens, Joyland and the fairground at the end of Britannia Pier on the Golden Mile, and go-karts, giant slides and carousel rides in Hemsby too. Great Yarmouth's seafront is also home to a beautiful model village, set in an acre of landscaped gardens with a wonderful model railway running through.

Large Broads cruisers can be hired at Martham and St. Olaves, but if you'd rather not pilot the boat yourself, go for a leisurely cruise aboard the Gentleman Jim at Waterside.

Swimming in the sea is best between the lifeguards flags, but there's also an outdoor swimming pool at Burgh Castle, where you might also like to visit the astonishing Roman ruins.

Don't forget the wide range of outdoor animal attractions there are to visit locally, and Hirsty's Farm Park is great in high summer when the maize maze has grown tall.
