Gressenhall

This is one of the many Norfolk museums.  There is a farm with lots of animals, loads to explore and a adventure play area.  Really a place for the whole family.

For anyone looking for a place to visit which is autism aware, this is most certainly a place worth checking out.  They have a very good visual story that tell you lots about what to expect on your visit.
