What visitors say
Lovely small zoo with plenty to look. Really enjoy the scheduled talks given by the keepers that give you insight, education and history of the animals the majority of which have been saved from illegal zoo's or irresponsible pet owners. Great for adults and children

Fantastic visit to Monkey Haven before our ferry. We spent two hours wandering around and listening to the kind and knowledgeable keepers give talks about the owls and monkeys! We had lovely vegan chilli jacket potatoes in the café, to warm us up on the cold day. Excellent visit, thank you! 👍🏼

A beautiful well cared for sanctuary for these loveable primates along with a few owls and other birds and a few reptiles all the exhibits are in a great and well cared for condition but the biggest wow feature for me was the wisteria arch on the way in to the park once you go through the pay booth.It really is a pleasant couple of hrs of your day.

Not for me I’m afraid not enough there for the price you pay easy to walk round and see everything in about 15 minutes yes the monkeys are very cute and the few owls as well i didn’t know what to expect when i got there as never been before but i didn’t expect more than i got. We were there for about a hour but most of that was in the tea room and gift shop on way out.
