Around the World in 80 Species at Banham Zoo

Banham Zoo, Kenninghall Rd, Banham Norwich, NR16 2HE

14th - 22nd February

Banham Zoo is delighted to invite families to experience its exciting brand-new half-term event, Around the World in 80 Species, launching this February.

Our famous offer is back for February Half-Term 2026 – Families looking for a great-value day out can enjoy up to three children’s tickets free with every full-paying adult by booking online and using the code KIDS GO FREE before the 13th of February 2026.

The immersive new experience takes young explorers on a global wildlife journey without leaving Norfolk. Children can follow our specially created Explorer Passport Trail, collecting stamps as they travel through different habitats and discover fascinating animals from every continent, while learning about conservation and the natural world.

Across the half-term week, there is an action-packed programme of family activities, including daily keeper talks, pop-up discovery points, scavenger hunts, bug-hotel building workshops and a variety of creative indoor sessions to keep the adventure going whatever the weather.

Visitors can also enjoy our live Ranger stage show from Go Awesome kids’ entertainment, starring the much-loved Toby the Tiger, alongside surprise animal encounters and storytelling sessions taking place throughout the zoo.

With full-day entertainment included and free entry for children, Around the World in 80 Species promises to be one of the most affordable and memorable family attractions in the East Anglia region this February half term.
