We went today as the boy got excited about monkeys. Naturally. But it was a great experience and although he didn't need telling, he came away telling us how people shouldn't have monkeys as pets. Quite right too. The staff are great. We spoke at length with one girl and another seemed like he could talk for England about the animals. The grounds are beautiful and so, so peaceful. There seemed like so many hidden spot to stop and have a picnic, and so many spots where there was something for the boy to read or activities for him to do. This is definitely somewhere to go and if you are in the area then you should make the effort. The entrance fee is money well spent and goes to a great cause.

Quite a number of years ago together with our family we visited the sanctuary and I ended up with a baby woolly monkey on my knee with its tail round the back of my neck while it tried to reach for food placed on the table in front of me. I'd been warned not to touch it or try to stroke it as its mother was close at hand. It was a fabulous experience that I will never forget.
Loved this small sanctuary. There are knowledgeable staff at each enclosure giving the experiance the personal touch. Even with my mobility issue I got to see all the monkeys. I did not see the gardens or the play area . They also do crafts. There is a cafe, with cuddley monkeys ,magnets etc for sale. Entry price lets you visit as many times as you wish in 12 months .
Lovely day out. Nice to see the work this place does. Friendly staff.
Was a good visit and good to see the monkeys so close up. Their enclosures and walkways seem well thought out and the monkeys themselves seemed content and well fed. Not so sure if the visitor following the pathway beneath one overhead walkway was mightily impressed when a large alpha male decided to wee on him from above....
