Norman castle restored as a museum, with tours of the battlements and dungeons.
I used to have a family ticket for this museum which was worth every penny. There are interactive historical sections for kids (my two liked going on Boudicca's chariot) and lots of info about all the collections.Check out the cool taxidermi animals and birds of the Broads and Norfolk places.You will love them. They also put on unusual exhibitions, so it's worth looking up what's on. Great cafe here as well. You can visit the dungeon if you want! Loads to do - you'll probably need a whole afternoon.

Norwich Castle is a medieval royal fortification in the city of Norwich, in the English county of Norfolk. William the Conqueror ordered its construction in the aftermath of the Norman conquest of England. The castle was used as a gaol from 1220 to 1887. In 1894 the Norwich Museum moved to Norwich Castle.
Built on a large artificial mound, Norwich Castle consists of a splendid Norman keep constructed around 1095 by William II. It's now home to a superb museum and art gallery. Set out as a rotunda surrounded by various galleries containing extensive archaeological sections, the castle's interior also houses natural history dioramas, collections of medieval weapons, glassware, and ceramics. The painting collection includes English and Dutch masters of the 17th and 18th centuries, as well as examples from the famous Norwich School of painting. Guided tours along with workshops for adults and kids are just some of the other fun things to do here for visitors. A café and a picnic room are located on-site, along with a gift shop. Also located within the castle is the Royal Norfolk Regimental Museum, with its excellent collections of uniforms, medals, and paintings. A few minutes' walk from here is another must-see, the city's spacious Market Place, site of the Norwich Market, one of the most notable markets in the county. Nearby is the City Hall, Central Library, and the 15th-century Guildhall.
