This just what you want at the British seaside. A good-value amusement arcade. There's a great…read moreselection of fruit machines and penny-push machines available in one half of the hall which caters mainly for the adults. The other half of the hall is devoted to more children-friendly amusements - games of skill - like throwing balls into baskets, through holes etc. My kids love the place and constantly pester me to take them for a visit. The chidren's machines 'pay out' in strips of tokens - the better you play the games the more tokens you get - these tokens can then be exchanged for prizes at the central money-exchange booth - though beware you do need quite a few tokens before you can 'win' anything half-decent. But it's not an expensive place - a few pounds go a long way and it's a godsend when the weather is bad. Recommended.

Golden Sands also has a cash machine and an over 18's slot section. Collect tickets and win prizes hanging on the ceiling. I went for a Super Mario toy. Worth a visit if you are in New Hunstanton.

There are animals and fun rides such as the Flying Elephants (not real of course!), Spinning Teacups, a Pirate Ship, Merry-go-round, a mini roller-coaster, car and train rides, bouncy castle, crazy golf etc etc Our kids, aged 3 and 5 absolutely love it! It's their favourite place to go for a day out. There are a few animals to see, not loads but they do add another dimension. They usually have a petting session in the afternoon and our children have enjoyed bottle-feeding a calf and little goats, and handling a baby tortoise, lizard, snakes and ferrets as well as the more obvious choices like guinea pigs and rabbits. They also have shows in the theatre with Bubbly Bingo the Clown. May not be everyone's cup of tea but the kids are certainly entertained! Entry price is very reasonable and if you go at the beginning of the summer season then you can go again as many times as you like for the rest of the season and get in for half price (just hang on to your receipt!). After October half-term they are only open for weekends until Christmas but of course you do get to see the red-suited man himself and his reindeers! The best thing of all about Pettitts though is that there are virtually never any queues for the rides. You may have to wait five minutes in high season but that is all. Quite often my children have got off a ride, run round to the start and gone straight on again! Fantastic!
