The zoo is home to a colony of Humboldt penguins, which are native to South America's coastal regions.
The facility maintains a dedicated 'Amazon Museum' highlighting the biodiversity and conservation status of the South American rainforest.
The grounds feature a specific area for Feline Forest, housing predatory species such as jaguars and ocelots.
The zoo's 'Jungle Tumble' is one of Norfolk's largest indoor play areas for children.
The park was purpose-built to focus strictly on South American wildlife, distinguishing it from general collections.
Amazona Zoo is a 10-acre site in North Norfolk dedicated to exhibiting animals exclusively from South America. The collection features over 200 animals, including jaguars, ocelots, spider monkeys, and capybaras. The zoo emphasizes environmental education through its 'Amazon Museum,' which provides information on the rainforest habitat. It includes a large indoor play area known as 'Jungle Tumble' and an outdoor play park. The facility is situated on the outskirts of the coastal town of Cromer. Pathways are designed to be accessible for families and wheelchair users. The site operates as a dedicated conservation and education center for Neotropical species.
The viewing platform overlooking the jaguar enclosure offers the best opportunity for wildlife photography.
Check the daily feeding schedule upon arrival to observe the animals during their most active periods.
Bring weather-appropriate clothing as the site is almost entirely outdoors, despite the indoor play area.
Wear sturdy walking shoes to navigate the 10-acre park comfortably.
Do not attempt to pet the animals or cross safety ropes, as these are wild species and pose a risk to visitors.
Open daily throughout the year except for a short period during the Christmas holidays.
Do not feed the animals, stay behind all safety barriers, and maintain quiet volumes near animal enclosures.
