   Lovely zoo. Good sized that can be done in half a day. Ideal for young children as nice flat surfaces to walk / push buggy. Lots of good viewing points of animals and friendly staff

   Had a wonderful afternoon at Banham zoo today. My friend Lorraine organised it as a surprise for me. The animals were all nicely kept and clean, with good sized enclosures and plenty for them to do. The staff were really helpful and friendly. There were lots of volunteers about who could answer questions and point you in the right direction. I particularly loved the penguins. We were able to watch them being fed and learnt many things about them. We had lunch in the cafe which was very nice and reasonably priced. Loved this zoo, and hope to come again soon

   Absolute brilliant place, we got there my chance, was in the area with some time to spare and discovered this brilliant diamond. As an experience, I would say it's the best Zoo I've been so far in the UK. I mean, they have a snow leopard. It's a completely brilliant place and just can't wait to go there again.

   Visited Banham Zoo this week and had the most amazing time. The animals are so well cared for with outstanding enclosures. We did The Big Cat Experience which was well worth the money as you get to spend time with and feed several big cats. Highly recommend!

   A great small and extra clean zoo. There is abundant free parking and many picnic tables. The size might be a benefit for families with kids visiting, since it is not becoming too tiring visiting the zoo. The ticket includes a free ride with the zoo train offering a fast view of the zoo. Also with 10 pounds you can rent a single or double push stroller. Make sure you go and see the sea lion feeding time it's really nice!

   Another amazing visit, we visited several years ago, this time without grandchildren, we had more time to ponder, sadly thanks to bird flu we didn't get to experience the birds flying, or displaying. But the zoo did not disappoint. I will be going back again. It was great being able to hire a mobility scooter, and very reasonably priced.

   Lovely zoo. Not too big so easy to walk round and see every animal. Not great on a very hot day too many wasps and not enough shade but otherwise great day out for the family. We visited in summer holidays as the zoo had lots of deals on tickets.

   Love this zoo! Have been going since I was very little. There always something new and different, but also familiar scenes and animals. The staff are always very friendly and welcoming. The zoo is kept clean and tidy. The animals are well looked after and clearly cared for. There is a massive carpark (plus overflow). The entrance isn't too far from the parking area(s) and all with access for wheelchair users. Throughout the zoo there is access for wheelchair users and is friendly for people with pushchairs also. There are cafes on site, toilets and a gift shop. The prices are what you would expect from a zoo and the quality of the items for sale, either in the cafes or the gift shop are good quality. The price to enter the zoo is the price you would also expect, but there are always offers on, just have to look for them. If you want the option to visit again and again all year there is a pass that can be purchased. It is very child friendly. There is a climbing area/ play area. There is a climbing tower and a train that takes you on a mini tour of the zoo. There are interactive talks on throughout the day. There are areas that you walk among the animals, which are always fun! All in all, a lovely trip out, either by yourself or with family/ friends. If you were to just walk around it would take about 2 hours tops. If you were to watch a show/ talk and have some food etc, it could take you the best part of a day. With that being the case you are allowed to leave the site and go to your car and return as long as you have proof of ticket purchased. The vast array of animals is lovely and the photographs you can get is always exciting.

   A really good small zoo. Nice and clean, with a good variety of animals. The layout is good, you don't get lost or miss anything . As expected , the onsite food vendors are unrealistically expensive so I'd suggest you take your own food if you can. Parking was fine, no issues. The toilets are a bit poor, but it was a really busy day when we went. The prices aren't too bad, but we got £10 tickets on a special offer online .
