Laser Quest places always look a little bit makeshift but what do you need the furniture for?…read moreHiding behind in the dark - so makeshift is fine. It't not the cheapest day out I've ever had but it is an awful lot of fun when you get going! Trying to shoot your oponents (in the warm, not out in the cold) and avoid them yourself is exciting. To be honest it all moved very fast for me, I'm not sure I figured out who was who and I was got A LOT!

Funky Monkeys is a really good venue for roller skating in Norwich. With organised timed sessions…read morechildren can have fun at casual sessions with disco music to skate to and challenges organised by the staff members. Skates are available to hire, or you can bring your own. Food is available to buy if you want to have something to eat, and this makes it an ideal venue for a child's birthday party. As well as roller skating there is a small soft play area which is ideal for younger children who do not want to skate. If you have a spree book, there are vouchers in for reductions on the entrance price so this makes it even more of an affordable activity. The staff are really helpful and organise some great stuff there.

There seems to be quite a few negative reviews for the Sportspark, which surprises me somewhat as…read moreit's probably the best sports centre I've used. I was a regular user of the gym, on a £30 per month Gold Membership, which entitled me to use whenever I wanted it. I mainly use the running machines, of which there are 10-12, as well as cross trainers (same again) and rowing machines. I found I could get in after work and get on a machine mostly as soon as I arrived, which isn't too shoddy considering it's a well used gym. I also liked to use the weights machines, which if you chose tactically could provide a good workout. Sure, it gets busy, but compared to some London gyms I've been to where I've paid £40+ per month, it's positively breezy. As well as the gym, the Sportspark has a fantastic climbing wall, two 25m (or sometimes 1 50m) swimming pools, indoor games areas for badminton etc, a martial arts and dance studio, an amazing gymnastics facility, an outdoor athletics area and outdoor games area, squash courts and a neat little cafe/bar. Prices are good if you're a member and they often run introduction courses to activities which are particularly good value. There's also the popular free circuit training on a Monday and Tuesday lunchtime which is a fantastic little workout! I've used quite the place quite a bit, having used the gym and pool regularly, as well as going on squash and climbing courses (as well as subsequently using these facilities independently), done Taekwondo with the Saracens club, played badminton with friends, done athletics with the Circuit training people and I'm currently doing a gymnastics course at their new gymnasium (!). I've found the staff are courteous and eager to help, the wet and dry locker rooms have been clean every time I've used them and in general I've grown to love the place. I'm sorry that some people have had bad experiences, but in terms of value for money and facilities available, the Sportspark is amazing and I love that it's just a short cycle from my home.

For those early days of parendhood, this centre is invaluable. Themidwifery and health visitor…read morestaff are based here, and alwayson hand to offer advice and support. Unfortunately, a lack of funding has meant that several of the groups have had to close - including The Baby Cafe, which is an essential support group for new mothers. As my child has got older, I have found the centre to be less useful. The staff I have mentioned remain fantastic, although there is less for my daughter to do. That doesnt affect me greatly as I found other groups and activities for her to aide her development and keep her interest.
