The Monkey park between Los Cristianos and Guaza is a great and cheap day out for adults and kids alike.

I took my cousin's two kids in January (well you have to show willing ) and we had a great time. It's €10 for adults and I'm not sure about kids but seem to remember it was either €5 or €6.

The park is a lot bigger and more interactive than I thought it would be. There are many places where you are in with the animals and can feed them by hand.The kids really enjoyed it. Almost as much as I did

Here is their website.

It is one of the best attractions on the island IMO.

I love it here too, great for younger kids aged 5ish upwards, not too long for them and a fantastic opportunity to be up close and personal. Take your own food for the monkey's birds etc.Food can be bought from the entrance but we found they liked the change, Raisins, apples and nuts went down a treat.

Its on the list for next time-Thanks

i love it too was a great day out

We love the monkey park and always go laden with goodies. The animals love fruit - chopped apple, banana, satsuma and grapes.

If you like to watch animal behaviour you will enjoy the monkey park. We spend hours in there on a regular basis feeding the animals and the children have been looking up the different species on the internet to find out more.

This is such an awesome place to visit, and I really feel the need to spout about it to everyone I meet.

It's located just outside Guaza, and you can reach it by heading down the TF1, past Los Cristianos (and heading towards Santa Cruz) until you hit the turn off for Guaza. Take that turn off, and then follow the road round under the TF1, keep going straight (so don't make the mistake we made all those years back when we first tried to find it and end up back on the TF1, going back from where we came :P), and take your first left. Follow that road all the way along, don't turn off at the Cactus Park (waste of time imo, but hey, thats where it is if you're interested), and keep going till you see the car park for the Monkey Zoo.

Prices are 10€ per adult, 5€ per child, and they are open from 10am till 6pm, but last entry is at 5pm. They sell bags of food (highly reccomended) for 3€ a bag. We end up buying 3 or 4 per trip

You can follow the path through the zoo, and enter into a few of the monkeys cages, and hand feed them, always very enjoyable, not too busy, and a lot of fun.

Theyve recently finished work on another walk-through cage, with yellow pawed monkeys in, and the rest of the park is filled with various species of monkeys (inclding a Drill, which is a fearsome sight), guinea pigs(?), leopards, and a few birds.

It's always a fun day out, and theres some pictures below.

I also made a short (2 minute) video of our last visit, which you can see here - if the link doesn't take you to the correct place on the page, just scroll down about halfway.

Hopefully theres no issue with posting the link (it's family friendly, honest!) here, if so, pm me, or let me know and I'll remove it.

Heres a few photos (all taken by me from various visits - I also have more, if you would like to see them, post in here or pm me).

Thanks Trell, it's great to get some images of the place ... have been meaning to go for ages. No issue at all with the video link

Why not post an introduction thread so we can get to know you ... we've had a few really good posts from you this afternoon, but none of us know you yet. Not required, of course
