Petites

Continuing on from our holiday in Norfolk, on Tuesday we went to Petites Animal Adventure Park. We've been before on previous holidays and always loved the place.
Petites is a mixture of childrens fairground rides and an animal park. There is a petting area where you can get up close to animals and feed them. We'd just been in the enclosure and the kids were washing their hands when I managed to snap Rudolph going for a walk. Animal enclosures are dotted around the park, but there aren't any big animals, just the nice small ones that kids like.
There are lots of kiddies fairground rides to go on, some of which adults have to accompany their children. This roller-coaster didn't look very big but it was a bit fast even for me. Of course the little girl loved it so much, she made me go on it again. I was glad that you only pay one price at the gate and then everything is free because the amount of rides the kids went on would have dented the wallet a bit.
There is also an open air theatre where a magic show or a clown performs every hour.We watched Billy Bubbles magic show featuring Maxi Mouse.
Also in the park is one of the biggest adventure playgrounds I have ever seen and believe me, when your a Dad, you've seen a lot. This one was a maze of slides, climbing frames, tunnels, there was even a kiddie size death slide. In the monkey house I took a snap of this cheeky chappy. I've been in monkey houses before, where the rascals show their bum and pee on you, but this one behaved itself. There was a fishpond with loads of coi carp in which you could feed. When you threw a handful of food in they didn't half churn the water up.
After the park we took a drive down to Reedham and had a look at the pleasure boats going up and down the River Yare whilst we licked on an ice-cream.
....some more to come another day.
