With over 250 primates of 20 different species, Monkey World is the largest sanctuary of its kind in the world. The monkeys and apes that live at the park are mainly there as a result of being abused or neglected in their previous circumstances. The expert team of primate care staff work around the clock to rehabilitate and integrate the animals into natural living groups.
Combining fun with conservation and animal education, half-hourly talks by the dedicated Primate Care Staff explain all about man’s closest living relative. They love to share their knowledge of all the individuals in their care, so don’t hesitate to ask any questions when the talk is over. Pre-bookable guided tours are also available.
Monkey World is open to visitors every day, except Christmas Day, 10am - 5pm (10am - 6pm July & August)
