Very clean and by all appearances well kept. Some of the animals have the run of the place, you're the one in the cage. Interesting variety, able to feed monkeys that clamber over the "cage" by putting food into a little dish they pull up, clever. Able to see rival monkey "gangs" argue over territory right over you head. Worthwhile...

We loved everything about monkey jungle! We did not however pay for the walk through in the rain forest as we had a time crunch. Loved seeing all the monkeys, and especially KING==

If you are looking to be entertained & know your money is going to a good cause, Monkey Jungle is a great way to spend time with the family. King, the gorilla is definitely a must meet. If your willing to spend a little more, I highly recommend the Rainforest Feeding. The squirrel monkeys will just come sit on you... More

We visited Monkey Jungle in January 2013 and were both happy and sad about what is going on in this place. It is one of the few protected habitats for endangered primates in the United States and the only one that the general public can explore. It was actually fun to feed the monkeys (with food sold at the gift... More

Monkey Jungle was an overall enjoyable experience. The jungle was easy to navigate and walk through independently. It was fun to feed the monkeys with food purchased at the gift shop, and nice to watch (some) of them run freely. I was sad, however, to see many of the monkeys in rather barren-looking cages. I would say that the advertising... More

This attraction is great for kids and adults alike. You walk through tunnels with different types of monkeys crawling on the roofs of the fenced in tunnels. You feed monkeys raisins by dropping them into metal bowls which they left up to the roof. I haven't been anywhere with this kind of interactivity. There are also other types of primates... More

Nice place to come for a couple of hours. Grounds are clean and the staff was friendly. The animals look like they are taken care of. As you walk through the park, there are plenty of areas where you're in a cage and the monkeys drop down cups on a chain for you to put food in. Lots of fun.... More

MJ is amazing however, very pricey. The website is somewhat misleading in that you can see lots of monkeys and they are roaming free but they are separated from the guests. It is the guests who are in an enclosure and for regular admission you only get to put food into bowls that the monkeys pull up on chains into... More
