Visited here whilst on holiday in Yarmouth. Kids loved it and secretly the adults did too. The little rollercoaster rides, particularly the snails were allot of fun for little ones. Reasonably priced too.

This place is small and run down but my 5 and 2 year old loved it. We found it a little expensive too.

An experience which I thought might be expensive for limited fun, but even with my 2 year old daughter it was great. Didn't need more than the £10 bag to get on all the rides, great idea to have some photos taken too

Loved it, although some rides restricted space so bit of a squeeze. Do not go here if you don't like fast, furious, scary, white knuckle rides cos this place has them all whoop whoop bring it on

Read few posts saying it was all great and had to reply. Joyland is very small and rides are ancient. It was massive disappointment to us as it was so small. As for the car ride it litterally goes round a small track with brick wall around it. They haven't even painted the walls with something to look at!

When we visit Great Yarmouth we have to visit Joyland and its lovely Snail Ride that our son adores. The rides are suitable for small children upwards and have a charm about them you don't get with larger theme parks and fairs. Each ride token is £1 and as the rides are one token per person this is brilliant value,... More

We always visit Joyland when we stay with family nearby. It's OK value wise and the rides haven't really changed since we were there as children in the 70's ! Little ones love it though so it's got to be worth a visit. My gripe is the cost of the photos they take when you ride the snails, why don't... More

This place is old and dirty. Rides are ok to be kind. Take a walk down the parade for Pleasure Beach which is better value for money and will entertain kids all day.
