Various family friendly attractions can be found in the town and along the seafront, including the The Marina Theatre which offers a variety of family entertainment throughout the year and its ever popular Panto over the festive season. There are plenty of café’s, tea rooms and restaurants along the promenade to choose from and if shopping is for you, then look no further than the centre of the town.
A short drive to the north of Lowestoft is Pleasurewood Hills, the biggest theme park in the East of England with live shows and rides galore. Three miles to the south east of Lowestoft is the premier East Anglia Transport Museum where the whole family can interact and take part in rides on trams, trolley buses and a light railway. Bressingham Gardens and Steam museum just over the county border into South Norfolk, is open all year round and also hosts family event days.
