I love the landscaping of this zoo. They are doing upgrades presently. The train is very nostalgic. Great price. Got to see animals that I have never seen before.

This might be one of the best unknown attractions in the area. Lots of great animals and a wonderful little train that shows them off!
I have been going here for years since my children were small. I took my wife for the first time recently. The African exhibits are top notch. I also like the gardens.
We haven't been to the zoo in years! Wow, really cool upgrades to the animal enclosures. We saw the new baby giraffe, Paul, 6 feet tall and 150 lbs! Lions and tigers and bears, oh my!
Having been to many major zoos, I wasn't sure what to expect but it was a great day. The zoo was clean with plenty of places to sit (we were in a group with ages from 15 to 71). The exhibits are very well done and the animals look content.

I went to the zoo so many times in the last 41 years. I always enjoy every bit of it. The food is great and service is great. The membership card gives discount food and special events. Would go again.
I had not been to the Norfolk zoo for years. I decided to take my two year old granddaughter to the zoo for a Friday outing. It was very nice, clean and safe. We had a great time and the exhibits were much nicer than I remembered from years past. Very kid friendly. I would recommend going on some day...

The zoo was nice.Only thing I didn't like was we went at a time the comodo dragons weren't there. And the tiger wasn't there,main attraction. But that happens sometimes in zoos.Besides that the zoo was really nice. The employees there were very informative and the lady in the shop was the nicest ever.
