Banham Zoo is one of Norfolk’s best-loved family attractions and an easy day out from Park Hotel Diss. Set across landscaped grounds, it’s home to big cats, primates, birds of prey and a huge range of wildlife from around the world.
A full family day out
Banham Zoo brings you close to tigers, giraffes, lemurs and many more animals, with daily keeper talks and displays throughout the day. There’s plenty of walking between enclosures, play areas for younger children, and cafés and picnic spots to break up the day.
Conservation and experiences
The zoo is involved in conservation and breeding programmes, and offers a range of animal experiences for those who want to get even closer. The birds of prey displays are a particular highlight for many visitors.
Good to Know
- Allow most of a day to see everything at a relaxed pace.
- Wear comfortable shoes — there’s a fair amount of walking.
- Check the zoo’s official website for opening times, prices and daily event schedules before you travel.
Park Hotel Diss makes a comfortable base for a family trip to Banham Zoo, just a short drive away.
