Thrigby Hall

If you want to walk up into the trees and sit a mere foot away from a tiger, then go to Thrigby Hall - worth the entry £ alone imo. It's a fabulous but little-known zoo that has a collection of big cats, monkeys, crocs etc but is small enough for younger children to go round without getting weary and there's plenty of picnicing space. There are on-line vouchers from the zoo's website or from Norfolk Tourist Info to reduce ticket costs.
