Colin adores monkeys and this is the place to see monkeys and perhaps have an opportunity to interact with them!
If you want to spend some time with spider monkeys we highly suggest that you hang out in the jungle where these monkeys enjoy their habitat.
Here you will come face to face with these mischievious little guys and if they take a liking to something on your possession their kleptomaniac behavior may spirit it away, so beware! Remember, monkeys have thumbs like we do and they know how to use them. They can open a camera case in a flash, grab something and be up in a tree in an instant. Even the most tranquil monkey may bite if they are grabbed by a stranger, so keep your items safe and don’t try to steal things away from them. You will have a marvelous, magical time if you listen to the suggestions of the owners of the reserve.
The monkeys at this reserve are very tame. The Jungle Place has given these monkeys a natural habitat where they have an opportunity to interact with humans. Generally they are loving and gentle, but monkeys don’t automatically like all people. The owners usually observe the monkeys’ reactions to guests from outside the monkey’s natural environment before they allow people to go in. The monkey’s safety is their priority and will not allow people to just jump right in. People with ailments should not get too close to the monkeys.
Groups are limited to five people or less at $15 per person donation to the reserve. This money goes to feed the monkeys and the toucans. You will be able to stay up to one hour with the monkeys and includes a soft drink.
