Very. There are quite a few hills!

90% outdoor with exception of restaurant and a few indoor viewing windows, these get busy especially when it is raining.

There are many tables around the attraction with some undercover. You could even take a blanket and picnic on some of the grass areas.
Did you find the toilet facilities clean?
Very clean.
Do you feel it is possible to see the whole attraction in one day?
Yes. I would suggest you could see the attraction in 3/4 hours.

Yes. A few arcade games and a small go-kart track (over 5s).
What was the highlight of the day?
My particular favourite is the Nursery area where the babies are kept.
From your experience, what advice would you offer to other visitors of the attraction?
Wear some walking shoes or trainers.
What areas would you suggest visitors make sure they experience, and why?
Visit the adoption centre, it is quite upsetting but you may feel like helping Monkey World by adopting a primate.
What improvements could be made to make the attraction better, if any?
None.
Overall what are your feelings about the attraction?
Monkey World is very clean and is in a beautiful setting. The primates have large enclosures so you feel they are well cared for. You can read about each individual primate and you realise the rescued apes have often had terrible lives before being brought to Monkey World.
Please rate this attraction out of 5 stars. (1 is poor and 5 is excellent). Please consider if you are rating a Zoo/Farm type attraction, take into account the apparent care of the animals as this would and should be a primary concern for the running of the attraction. For example the standard of the facilities for visitors at one of these attractions would probably not be the same as in a theme park.
5 stars
