Going here was one of the highlights in my childhood - 50 years ago.
Figured it would have changed a lot - but NO, it was wonderfully fabulously just as it was - "Where Humans are Cages and Monkey run wild."
Because Monkeys can contract COVID they had to close down but eventually started offering small group tours so long as everyone wears a mask - which I was more than happy to do to protect the animals. Not cheap to do, but worth every penny! (Plus, I think the owners must be paying out-of-pocket to keep this place going during the pandemic, so I was more than happy to contribute to that!)
Our guide, Will, was brilliant and well-informed. I was fascinated to learn about the social structure of the Macaque monkeys.
And it was SO MUCH FUN to be able to feed the little Spider Monkeys as they happily crawled all over us.
Truly can't top smiling thinking about it all! read more
