Visit websiteTruly amazing! 🎠🚂 Thursford is a properly good day out – there’s so many traction engines and organs to see, many of the latter play throughout the day so you can experience their timeless genius. The rides are well worth £3 each – both the galloper and carousel are a real nostalgic treat. Then we come onto Robert Wolfe and his Wurlitzer – never, in my life have I seen so much musical talent in one person, amazingly moving. A real must visit!
What a wonderful place this is. The fair ground theme play park is amazing.the boys loved the go kart track while the girls loved the water splash pad. A big shout out to cafe there too the chips a coffee was lovely. A good day out highly recommend
Visited Thursford Adventure Play Fair for the first time with the kids and honestly we didn’t expect it to be as impressive as it was. The whole vintage fairground theme is incredibly well done and there’s so much more to explore than we anticipated. The giant Helter Skelter, Ferris Wheel climbing area and water fountain were massive highlights, and it was great seeing the children constantly moving between different sections without getting bored. Everything felt clean, thoughtfully designed and surprisingly spacious. The food available was also very good. We especially liked how it encourages imaginative play rather than just queueing for rides. Even the adults enjoyed exploring the walkways and tunnels. Definitely one of the best outdoor play areas we’ve visited in Norfolk and we’ll absolutely be coming back.
Amazing affordable day out great outdoor options and the splash park was great. The food was very fresh. Only critique is the slides are very hot in the Sun which understandable as they are made from metal.
The Adventure playground is fantastic, and really good value for a day out, its not just an playground, its a full day of adventure, spectacularly themed and well thought out. We spent 4 hours there on an overcast Bank Holiday, it was quieter in the afternoon, but even being a bit busier in the morning, there was plenty of space to play. The Cafe was nice and well priced.
