Really loved visiting Amazona zoo! The animals all seem happy, very clean inclosures, and great views. The zoo is small but it's perfect for a morning out, I think it's definitely worth the price as it's supporting a zoo that clearly looks after their animals very well! The capybaras were my favourite!

A small but good zoo with a lot of exhibits. Some animals may wander free. A kids bouncy area. For this kind of venue it reasonably priced. Available from same carpark is football golf.

One of the best zoos we have visited and we've been to a few. We spent quite a few hours here and thoroughly enjoyed it. We saw animals we had never seen before, they were extremely well looked after and enclosures were clean. It was big enough that there was plenty to do, but wasn't packed with people, like many places we've visited before. The talks were fun, engaging and informative and we saw more animals at feeding time than advertised on the board. The tropical house was brilliant, not only for the animals, but the plants too. The cafe wasn't expensive and the food was delicious. We would highly recommend this zoo for a fun day out for all the family.

We loved this cute small zoo in Cromer. Would definitely suggest visiting in early March due to the daffodils in bloom which gave it such a dainty and calming atmosphere. I loved the attention to detail with the pathing around the zoo with printed leaf patterns, the carved furniture and the easy to read enclosure descriptions alongside the animals names which give it a personal feel . The Zoo was easy to find and had a reasonably sized carpark especially for its size! We didn’t book tickets in advance and came on the day, maybe busier in the summer but was reasonably quiet for a Saturday. The animals seamed well looked after and the enclosures were reasonably sized (even bigger then some large zoos) the zoo is small is size but large in character! I loved that the Patagonian Mara roamed freely was very cute! Quite a few animals here that I haven’t seen before which was nice :) Only suggestion is the zoo is very open to the housing estate, maybe some tarpaulin/ webbing to give the animals some “privacy” after closing hours.
