Nice little model village by the coast to come and visit while in Great Yarmouth. We went in a group of 4 and were given a discount by the lady at the counter. The entrance ticket, which is a very reasonable price, allows you to visit again within a 7-day period, which we made use of. You can spend a couple of hours going around and viewing the models and pressing the interactive buttons. There is a mini golf course near the start, which is fun (and free). At the end of the tour is a penny arcade and a tea shop. We visited the model village during the COVID-19 pandemic and the village has sufficient facilities to make sure you were safe.

Wow. Wasn't expecting this. Bonus was.... You GET TO VISIT twice on the same ticket.i think maybe more within 24 hours. Unlimited mini golf and more. The best value entertainment in Great Yarmouth as far as I am concerned. Amazing staff well maintained and always a smile! Well done to everyone that works there. You made 9 people very very happy! I recommend this place first on your list when visiting!

It's a fascinating little attraction (pun intended!). The children like pressing the buttons to hear & see each section come to life. Sometimes it's a bit of a guessing game to work out which part will move whenever you press a button. Even with the 1-way system in place due to covid, you get to see all of it really easily. It might take about 1hr to get round all of it (model village only). The mini golf section is also pretty fun for the kids, but I'd recommend you go round the whole model village first then come back in for the golf. It's fairly small though, so during busy periods be prepared for a short wait. Also the old-fashioned arcade at the end is a super blast from the past! The machines take old 1p coins which you can by 12 of for 1, and some of the machines let you win some back. So if you're lucky you can keep playing for a bit longer :) My only criticism is that a lot of it is looking pretty dated by now. Some of the models don't quite move properly, a lot of chipped paint and sorry looking little people! But they are renovating some of the areas so hopefully it'll get a new lease of life soon enough. The new fairy / dragon section at the end is quite colourful and the daughters liked it (even though it looks slightly out of place compared to the rest). Still it's definitely worth visiting if you haven't before. There's a pay & display car park conveniently close to the village if needed.

Really good model village... Small path, so if you are a slow walker people have to pass by you quite close (difficult what with Covid19) lots of detail to look at in each section though and even some buttons to press along the way that make things move &/ give of sounds. Spent about an hour there. Big thumbs up

This place is good fun. You would need about 60 minutes to see all of it. They are running a one way system too which is good considering ongoing covid conditions. You are not required to wear a mask except in the shop on the way out. Kids enjoyed it more than I expected so its a good one for kids who are 7 upwards.
