“How can I find toddler activities near me that are perfect for me and my little one?”
That’s a great question, and it can be a tricky one to answer. However, in Norfolk, there are so many great toddler activities out there waiting to be discovered. Luckily for you, we’ve done most of the heavy lifting and put together this blog on some of the best toddler activities in Norwich and Norfolk.
For this list, we’ve split up our recommendations to suit you and what kind of toddler activities you may be searching for. For example, if you’re looking for more affordable toddler activities, we’ve got some free/cheap suggestions that may be perfect for you. Let’s get started!
“What are some free or cheap toddler activities near me?”
Affordability is a huge factor for any day out, even though we may wish it weren’t! That being said, there are some great options for free or affordable toddler activities near me that you should know about. These toddler activities, as of writing, are either free of charge to enter or are less pricey than others, so let’s take a look.
Hillside Animal Sanctuary
First up, Hillside Animal Sanctuary. This is an animal charity that was founded in 1995 to help and campaign for animals. As these guys are a charity, they don’t charge any entry fee, but donations are more than welcome and help keep them doing their great work. Taking your toddler here means they will get to observe and interact with all kinds of animals, from horses, ponies and donkeys, to pigs, goats and rabbits! Their Norfolk location also has a gift shop, play area and café on-site.
Norfolk Beach Day
Being in Norfolk, we’re incredibly spoilt when it comes to beaches. When the weather calls for it (and even in wet weather) there’s no better active day out than the beach. For toddlers, Norfolk beach days allow them to connect with nature and feel the sand between their toes, or under their boots! Better yet, beaches are usually free to enter but there may be a small parking charge. We think beaches are great days out for toddlers and parents to get some fresh air, perhaps a splash in the sea, and maybe some ice cream or a hot chocolate by the dunes.
Wroxham Barns
With tickets starting from £8.50 (as of writing), Wroxham Barns offers affordable toddler activities that will have parents and little ones exhausted at the end of the day. Here’s just a taste of what they have to offer: a treetop walkway, soft play, amusement rides, jumping pillows, and more!
“Is there a place that offers lots of different toddler activities near me in one location?”
It’s all well and good for us to say that there are so many toddler activities available, but what if you can’t get around to visiting them all? And let’s not even talk about all of the petrol/diesel that may be used up. Instead, there are a handful of Norfolk locations that are home to multiple different toddler activities.
That being said, there is one place that stands out from the rest. So, if you’re stuck searching for toddler activities near me, then High Altitude Trampoline Park is the answer. Yes, we are a trampoline park, but we are also a soft play and trampoline park, home to an inflatable kingdom, and dedicated toddler sessions are regularly available.
Jump ‘n’ Lunch: Toddler Day Out and Lunch Sorted
It’s handy when you can spend a day out with your toddler somewhere that has eating options available on-site. With Jump ‘n’ Lunch at High Altitude, not only is the activity for the day sorted (bouncing on our trampolines, playing in the soft play, and other amenities) but the food is also included in your ticket price.
The great thing about Jump ‘n’ Lunch is that it is a toddler-only trampoline session, meaning no bigger kids could potentially affect your toddler’s experience.

Soft Play in Norwich for Toddlers
Also at our trampoline park is the beloved soft play – the ultimate toddler activity. Soft plays are incredible environments for toddlers; a place where they can engage in free play and interact with others their own age. The soft play at High Altitude is cosy and not too extreme, making it more than suitable for the smallest of tots.
Ideally placed in the upstairs section of our café, mum, dad and/or carer can relax with a hot coffee or sweet treat while the little ones play. If you fancy an easy, stress-free toddler activity that will have both little one and parent satisfied, our soft play is ideal for you.

Inflatables for Little Ones: Ultimate Toddler Activity Near Me
The inflatables at our trampoline park are an incredibly popular indoor attraction, and can be enjoyed by all ages – even toddlers! The inflatable assault course for toddlers consists of bish-bash pillars to weave past and crash into; balance tops – hold on tight to not fall off; climbing steps that lead all the way to the top; and super slippery slides to whizz down at high speeds.
This is a perfect activity for a young child – somewhere they can be let loose to explore and immerse themselves in a whole new world of bright colours and inflatables to interact with. Parents are welcome to supervise their toddlers in the inflatable area as long as they have a purchased ticket, which is standard practice for any tots session.

“What are some extra exciting toddler activities near me?”
Ah, so it’s a taste of excitement you’re after, is it? A little bit of adventure is awesome for toddlers, helping them to experience the world around them in an enjoyable way. For us to consider a toddler activity as “extra exciting”, we’re looking for places that seem like whole new worlds, activities that offer something different than the usual, and days out that will keep toddlers occupied the entire time.
ROARR! Dinosaur Park
ROARR! has been welcoming families in Norfolk for years, offering little ones the chance to discover all of the different species of dinosaurs. Not only is this place great for learning for mini dino enthusiasts, but there are also lots of other amenities that cater to smaller children.
BeWILDerwood
For the ultimate day out spent in the outdoors that’s more exciting than your standard woodland walk, BeWILDerwood is a magical place for toddlers. Here, toddlers can immerse themselves in a woodland location that almost feels like a fairy tale kingdom. With plenty of activities for toddlers, parents can’t go wrong with this location.
Sea Life Aquarium Centre
Escape to an underwater world with Sea Life. The ocean is home to many aquatic creatures that are waiting to be discovered by your little ones. Like the ocean itself, Sea Life is full of sharks, turtles, fish, and so much more. With interactive elements, this is a toddler activity that your tot won’t soon forget.
Final Thoughts on Toddler Activities Near Me
