This little fluffball is Banana - one of our flamingo chicks! 🍌💕 They may be grey today, but soon they’ll be pretty in pink.

Earlier this week, the red panda cubs had their very first health check! 🩺 🐾

We’re excited to share that we have a healthy boy and a girl, both doing really well under mum's care.

Red pandas are endangered in the wild, with fewer than 10,000 left. Every cub born in zoos plays a vital role in helping to secure the species’ future. 🌍

See our red pandas at Banham Zoo this Bank Holiday Weekend! 🍃

A massive thank you to Skinner's and The Bartrum Group for providing us with such a fantastic stage this summer!

From the ever-brilliant GO Awesome Children's Entertainments to the incredible musicians who lit up Zoo Fest, the stage has been home to some unforgettable performances.

It’s played a huge part in making summer 2025 our best one yet... and we’re not done! 🌟

Join us next week for even more fun!

When you catch Tana’s eye and suddenly feel like you’re being silently judged… 👀🐆

Sadly, cheetahs are classed as vulnerable in the wild, with fewer than 7,000 remaining. Every individual, like Tana here at Banham Zoo, helps us share their story and raise awareness for their future. 🌍

Next time you visit, don’t miss the chance to stop by and see Tana! 💛

This summer, we’ve been proud to host the RSPB here at Banham Zoo! 🐦✨

The Royal Society for the Protection of Birds is the UK’s largest nature conservation charity, working to protect wildlife and wild spaces both here and around the world. From saving birds like the avocet from extinction in the UK, to running projects like the Big Garden Birdwatch; their work continues to inspire and make a difference for nature. 🌍

If you spot the RSPB stall during your visit, be sure to stop by and say hello - you can discover more about the incredible work they do and how you can help too!

If Monday had a spirit animal… 😸

Meet the Pallas cat. Fluffy, fierce and not impressed.

Unlike most small cats, their pupils are round - just like their big cat cousins. 👀🐾

Shen and Aurora sharing intense looks… we love watching their playful interactions! ❄️

Snow leopards are often called the “ghosts of the mountains” - rarely seen in the wild thanks to their incredible camouflage and elusive nature.

Here at Banham Zoo, we’re proud to care for and protect these majestic cats. 💙

Emerging from our burrows to check if it’s still 100 degrees out… 🥵

Prairie dogs have it figured out though - their underground homes are built with natural ventilation, keeping them cooler in summer and warmer in winter.

Smart little engineers! 🧠

Our Story

Banham Zoo is an award winning family attraction and one of the most exciting wildlife attractions in the country, with over 2,000 animals from around the world and set in 50 acres of beautiful parkland and gardens.

The Zoo welcomed its first guests in 1968 and was opened by Martin Goymour who is the third generation of a well-respected Norfolk family.

On Valentine’s Day 14th February 2013, Banham Zoo, along with our sister park Africa Alive! near Lowestoft, Suffolk, became part of the Zoological Society of East Anglia (ZSEA). By becoming a registered charity this has enabled the parks to secure their long term futures, with the primary aims to the advancement of education, zoology, animal welfare, environmental protection and continue with the important work undertaken for wildlife conservation across the world.

The ultimate beneficiaries of all that we do, with your support, are the animals in our care and wildlife conservation.
