Banham Zoo

Banham Zoo is a wildlife park in Norfolk with more than 200 animal species living in spacious, naturalistic settings. The collection includes lions, giraffes, meerkats, lemurs, wallabies, and reptiles spread across approximately 50 acres.

The zoo was founded in 1968 and grew from a small animal collection into a major conservation center in eastern England. This transformation over the years established it as a leader in animal care and wildlife protection efforts.

The zoo organizes learning sessions where visitors discover how conservation work protects animals in the wild. These programs help people understand their connection to nature and wildlife protection.

The grounds have wheelchair-accessible pathways and facilities including a café, picnic areas, and gift shops. Visiting early in the day works best, as animals are more active and crowds tend to be smaller.

Visitors can join special feeding sessions where zookeepers share knowledge about each species' diet and behavior directly. These hands-on moments reveal how different animals have completely different eating habits.
