    Excellent day with our little one
    We visited amazona zoo whilst on a break to Norfolk and we are so pleased we did! The park was well looked after and the perfect size for our toddler to be Able to walk about exploring, the animals are well looked after and we found the park had a very relaxing atmosphere. A great way to spend a few hours. The soft play area was a great addition and was clean and well looked after. All in all a great family day out.

    A pleasant day out meeting some amazing animals from South America
    A very pleasant time wandering around meeting the animals in this quaint well run zoo. The animals all appeared happy and content and were certainly well carried for. More than happy to pay the £56 entrance fee for my 3 grand children wife and I.

    Limited by small site. Good play areas.
    Visited with grandchildren aged from 3 to 17 and their Mums. Clean, well-kept, animals healthy but small site severely limits number of animals and size of enclosures. Sad there is only 1 jaguar and 1 ocelot and 1 large snake and only 1 of most creatures so little breeding. Except the tapirs have a baby. All children enjoyed outdoor play but were bored/disappointed with animals. Preschoolers enjoyed indoor play too. Verdict - Ok for primary school age, not good for teenagers.

    Not a bad day out.
    Amazona Zoo is small, though this reflects in the entrance fee which is low priced, and good value. It was a dull overcast day, so we didn't see it at it's best. The food in the café was good, and again good value for money. Some animals like the Mara, and Chilean Flamingo's were free roaming, and very human friendly.

    Nice little zoo
    Very nice little zoo, with many South American animal species. The Anaconda, Jaguar, Puma, Flamingoes are some of the special attractions. Kids enjoyed at the play area as well. There's a picnic area. The jungle cafe is also very good, offering food, coffee, ice cream etc. Overall it was a lovely experience with kids. 3 to 4 hours can be well spent here.

    Great, family friendly place!
    The whole experience was great, from arriving to leaving. I would have to mention the staff who are all lovely - they all seem to be happy in their work and are so polite. We called in for lunch and was pleasantly surprised at the prices for good quality food Our first visit was the very first year you opened - you’ve come a long way since then. I hope you keep it going - you’re doing a fab job I would also have to mention that unlike many other places, it’s not essential to book and pay online. This is a bonus to people who are unable to do it for various reasons!

    Hmmmm hard one, it’s a mixed bag
    We had a pleasant few hours but I’m not sure we would go back. It was cheap enough to get in and the play group at the back of the zoo was good, the jumping pillows were fab, our little one also enjoyed the small soft play but it was a little grubby. The animal enclosures I’m sure comply with welfare standards but appeared very small to us, also the lakes were very grown. Like a lot of the greenery in the park. The park is looking tired and needed some money spending on it. One baby changer/disable loo for whole park meant a long wait when we had to join queue. There is two toilets near play area at the back of zoo but no baby facilities. Also the main block of toilets are tired and in-fact not very clean at all. The staff we encountered were very pleasant and we enjoyed seeing the deer like/hare animals walking freely around the zoo. It’s not very big but can make a half day from it.

    Boring
    I was a bit disappointed with this place to be honest. I think it would be ok for those with young children but as two adults, I was bored. I felt the place was looking tired and needs some money spent on it. After we left, we visited the Hillside Shire Horse sanctuary and that place was excellent.

    Leaves alot to the imagination
    It's a nice little zoo but leaves alot to the imagination! Website definitely hypes it up to be more than it is. Some areas really need attention as starting to fall apart and getting old. Animals seem well looked after but the big cats have very little space which is quite disheartening. Food and drink selection good and reasonably priced. Good gift shop. Definitely a zoo suited more to young children, perhaps under the age of 6. Wouldn't return as don't feel the entry fee is realistic to what's there to see and do. Time needed here 2-3 hours

    Great place to visit and enjoy
    What a little gem of a zoo and very close to Cromer. Feeding time with the Jaguar is a must see, the friendly keeper making the experience even more enjoyable. It’s not huge but very well laid out with loads of animals to see. Loved the free roaming Patagonian Mara with their little hoppy holes across the site. Reasonably priced entry and food. Would visit again as big and small humans approved and enjoyed.

Staying in Cromer for few days and saw a sign in town pointing to Amazonia zoo so thought would have day there. Nice enough little place. Loved the baby tapir and the 'grouchy' capybara!! Lol!! Looked a bit tired in places but could tell everyone doing their best and animals all seemed well cared for. Good value cafe,very reasonably priced. Dropped one point for the extortionate prices in gift shop!! Small cuddly animal not less than £13. Had 3 grandchildren with me and by time paid entrance fee plus lunch in cafe cdnt afford nearly another £50 to buy them all a cuddly animal. 3 sad little ones 😢. Can't believe those prices justified!! Spoilt otherwise lovely day

We had a great few hours here. It was a rainy day so not too busy and we were able to get close to the animals. We really enjoyed seeing the big cats and the reptile house. My younger kids loved the soft play area and we had a nice lunch in the cafe.

Still great value for money, including the café. An interesting selection of South American animals and birds, got new photos I didn't get last time, and better ones of the Black-necked swan. Hopefully this zoo might expand in the future to include more.

Quite a small zoo it is still worth a visit if you're in the area. Very well maintained with a good selection of animals which appear very well looked after. My wife and I had a very enjoyable visit.

The smallest enclosures I’ve ever seen for big beautiful animals such felines. Really upsetting and really annoyed me, the more I saw the more it made me want to leave. They look seriously unhappy & stressed. Worst zoo I’ve ever been to. State you want to protect animals but your actually a disgrace sort it out.

Excellent day purchased yearly memberships for the family as it had been a couple of years since we last went. The staff really helpful apart from thec2 young members of staff on pick your own fruit. One asleep yawned then went back to sleep the other didn't want help and after asking a question. It's a shame they weren't as customer focused and helpful as staff at the zoo.

We went here as a big family day out. We had a really cracking day. Everyone young and old really enjoyed it. The animals were really well looked after, and the staff were really friendly and helpful. The was plenty of places to sit and rest aswell to have a picnic. Highly recommended.
