My daughter enjoyed her visit here. Staff were friendly and very knowledgable about all of the monkeys and you could tell that they really cared about them. The cafes and toilets were located within easy reach. Prices were very reasonable. The play area was amazing! My daughter had so much fun climbing and going down the slides. There was also the chance to make an enrichment bottle for the monkeys too.

First time visiting but won't be the last! I have followed Monkey World's journey for years, I saw their TV program with Jim and Allison, instantly loved it and wanted to visit. It did not disappoint. It's a huge site with so many different species of monkeys; I could stand and watch the chimps all day! There's a cafe centrally located which is reasonably priced, a few play areas which are great for your children and there are talks by the keepers are various points through the day. I want to go back already!

Absolutely amazing place. The place is fairly big and it does take a while to get around to all see all the monkeys. I would recommended giving yourself plenty of time to go around. When we were going around, I noticed you didn't feel too crowded as the pathways are big. The orangatans and chimpanzee were my favourites. The area was clean. Had food and drink, which was reasonably priced. If you pay by cash at the kiosk you don't get change. It doesn't make sense and a few other people commented about it.

We have been watching the TV series on this wonderful sanctuary. Decided to visit, and we were not disappointed. What a fabulous place for a family day out. Reasonable price to get in, which makes a nice change. The monkey enclosures are fabulous and although sometimes it was difficult to spot some of the animals that just added to the fun. We were treated to a wonderful call display from the gibbons and play by the orangutans. For children there are amazing play facilities. Also plenty of picnic tables to use. The disabled facilities are excellent. We are going back.

I absolutely love this place, it was a warmish day and was so lovely walking around at our own pace. Few young children as was term time. They give you a map on entrance and you are able to leave and return if you get your hand stamped. There was so much seating for taking your own lunch, but there are some cafes as you walk around. They also have certain times during the day where a staff member will have a question time. There is wheelchair/mobility scooter access apart from the woodland walk. A lot of the monkeys have been rescued from laboratories, trafficked or from the tourist industry. Plenty or toilets around as well. Look forward to returning. When you book online you save £2 per person, but we preferred to pay the full price as it goes back into the charity. Also we didn't know which day we wanted to visit. Staff were very friendly and helpful.
