Monkey World offers a range of personal talks and guided tours of the park by our Education Officers, or a more casual self-guided tour.
Personal Guided Tours:
Monkey World’s highly popular guided tours take visitors on a 1 hour 15 minute walking tour through our 65 acre park. One of the Education Team will guide you on your journey, detailing the history of the park and our mission to end the illegal smuggling of primates from the wild. Throughout the tour your guide will tell you the stories behind our primates’ rescues, explaining their transition from cruelty and abuse to their rehabilitation into appropriate social groups and large, natural enclosures.
Our tours are a fantastic way to gain a better insight into Monkey World’s work and to enhance your experience of the park; perfect for fans of Monkey Business and Monkey Life! Tours are very popular and often booked up quickly. To avoid disappointment tours should be booked in advance through our Admin Office by emailing admin@monkeyworld.org or call 01929 462537. Gift Vouchers are also available.
Buggy Tours:
Enjoy the park from the comfort of our 6-seater golf buggy! This exclusive option gives the tour-goers early entry to the park, at 9am, an hour’s guided tour and a breakfast butty at the Treetops cafe once completed!
The buggy tours are fantastic for those who find the park’s beautiful countryside a little too rugged, or for those who prefer to get in early and travel in comfort. You’ll be guided by a member of our knowledgable Education team, and will see the primates waking up to start their day.
The tours will cost £75, for up to 4 people in your party.
For availability or to book, please email admin@monkeyworld.org or call 01929 462537.
Self-Guided Audio Tours:
To learn about the park, the primates and their rescue stories at your own pace, you can follow our self-guided tour, which can be accessed by your smart phone. This leads you on points of interest around the park, giving a real insight into the rescues and lives of our endangered primates.
The self-guided audio tour can be purchased and downloaded for £2 per device at the entrance gate, gift shop or adoption centre on arrival at the park. The audio points are signposted around the park.
Virtual Tours:
If you can’t visit the park in person, book one of our Zoom tours! By the power of video conferencing software, a member of our team will take you around the park to see all your favourite primates.
We’ll be running these as a personal tour, so can be very guided by which primates you like & what you’d like to see. We’ll also be able to take you “off-show”, up feeding towers that the public are not allowed to access, and round the back of enclosures also.
For an adoptive parent, these will cost £35.
For non-adoptive parents, they will cost £49 each. However you have the option to share with one other person, if you have a friend who loves the park too, at a cost of £31.50 each.
Tours will run for approx. 1 hour 15 minutes.
For availability or to book, please email admin@monkeyworld.org
