Day out with the kids in Norfolk by Pushing the Moon

We are so lucky in Norfolk to have lots of fun places to take the children over Half Term and beyond. We are spoilt for choice when it comes to heading outside – our beaches, and country parks are some of the best in the country. But it’s February half term, and the weather isn’t exactly tropical, so being outside may not be everyone’s idea of fun. Here are a few of my favourite picks to keep the kiddies entertained no matter what the weather throws at us…

BeWILDerwood – Boggle Wish Bonfire

BeWILDerwood is the most fun place for kids of all ages (and grown ups, too!) – the slides, zip wires, the Sky Maze, tree-top climbing frames and, of course, crafting and storytelling fun with the Boggles and Twiggles. This half term you can come along for all the usual fun and also the Boggle Wish Bonfire where you can make a wish for a loved one on a pinecone and send it into the bonfire
