I have been a fan of monkeys and apes for years and a fan of the TV show that is based on the sanctuary for the past few months. Nothing about the park disappointed any of my expectations. The wide range of primates at the park make for an entertaining day for people of ages (I saw 3 years olds... More

Great park for rescued monkeys. Stories about how they were found were sad, but it is great to see them enjoying themselves in this large park where they are cared for. The Park is well laid out with several areas of monkeys and ample talks from 12pm onwards. If you get there before12 you can go from one talk to... More

The sun came out and so did the primates! They were a joy to watch and the Orang's were very comical. I could have stayed watching them for hours. Some of the chimps love to pose for pictures and pull some very funny faces and even play peekaboo. There are glass viewing areas so the primates can come right up... More

I have just come back from Money World. For me it was a full day out, worth every penny. I think the staff at the park have a GREAT balance on financial input into the park for visitors and financial input into rescuing and rehabilatating the best they can primates from all over the world. The Recsue Centre is a... More

I'd been here before and enjoyed it very much but this time we were there as it opened and it was like they were all having a lie in. One of the best things in the past was the lemur walk through but we had to wait until 12 o'clock for this and then it was very disappointing as the... More

Great day out for all ages. We all loved seeing all the different monkeys and reading their stories. The 80 laboratory-rescued capuchin monkeys were especially sweet. Lots of play areas to break the day up. Good value for a family.

I absolutely love MW. I have been here about 5 times and every time I fall in love with someone different. Our favourite being Brian (the chimp) displaying why chimps make the worst pets. The wolly monkey family all came and let us see the new addition while the dad made sure we knew he was boss. Oshine is brilliant... More
