Monkey World - Ape Rescue Centre

Organisation Image

Monkey World – Ape Rescue Centre is home to over 250 rescued and endangered primates, including Europe’s only orangutan crèche. Visitors can see infant orphaned orangutans playing and growing up together with their foster family, at the purpose built crèche in the 65 acre park.
Opened in 1987 to provide abused Spanish beach chimpanzees with a permanent home, Monkey World is now a sanctuary for primates from all over the world. Here you can see them enjoy the company of their own kind in a safe, natural environment.
Combining fun with conservation, free daily talks by the dedicated Primate Care Staff explain all about man’s closest living relative. Pre-bookable guided tours are also available, as well as video talks and a self-guided talk accessed via your own smartphone device.
Once you’ve seen the stars of TV’s Monkey Life, your little monkeys can let off some steam in the Great Ape Play Area, the south’s largest adventure playground.
