Monkey World Reviews

I recently visited Monkey world with my partner and 2 children aged 11 and 8. Everyone had a brilliant day. Dont be fooled into thinking there wont be a lot there because its just monkeys, you will be kept busy all day. As soon as you get there you are greeted by a play park and picnic area. The park is of a very good size and has ...  Read the complete review

We were down in Dorset and found a sign for Monkey World (- it is very near dorchester)... After suggesting to some friends that I was going to visit monkey world I was entirely put off. They suggested to me that it was a horrible place and that the monkeys that lived there were distressed and uncared for. We decided to visit ...  Read the complete review

We went to Monkeyworld as a daytrip on a family holiday in Dorset last year. Having seen the park on TV and some of the facilities there we had high expectations and were not disappointed. Getting to Monkeyworld is very easy, its really well signposted and there is plenty of well thought out parking with easy access. There ...  Read the complete review

We are lucky enough to live not too far away from monkey World in Wareham, Dorset. A couple of months before Christmas last year, we decided to take a visit, off season with some friends of ours. Obviously taking the children was the main reason for going, but I have visited on many occasions in the past and love going back to see the monkey's ...  Read the complete review

We went to monkey world in july 2008 having been recommended it by a friend. We managed to find the place ok and parked up in the field next to the entrance. The prices were reasonable for us as in our party was 1 adult, 1 student and 1 oap so managed to get a reduced rate for the student and oap. At first when we entered ...  Read the complete review

Monkey World is a fantastic day out in Wool, Dorset. I have been a regular visitor first going not long after the centre opened when I was young. The park is a rescue centre for primates, from chimps to orang-utans, lemurs to woolly monkeys. Last year one of the parks founders, Jim Cronin died and the park now continues in the safe hands of his ...  Read the complete review

Just been to Monkey World on a bright cold but sunny January day, with my 1 year old and two-and-a-half year old. First contact was the website - to get directions - and it is pretty dated and not hugely useful. directions by are are basically absent and when you click on a link for the park itself you just get a scanned in park ...  Read the complete review

For Christmas last year my Dad handed us all an envelope as a present whilst having a huge grin on his face. I just thought it was money and was pleased with that. I opened it up and there was a card with an orangutan on it. Not very imaginative I thought but never mind. I then opened it and it was an invite to Monkey World for my Dads 60th and ...  Read the complete review

A friend recently suggested a trip to Monkey World, I've always been facinated by monkey's but I was a little apprehensive as I'm not keep on Zoo's. After some reassuarance that Monkey World's monkey's have all been rescued and are now living in nice surroundings as opposed to cages I was pursuaded to go. I'm glad I ...  Read the complete review

As we live quite near to Monkey World, we have been regular visitors since the park opened . This week, we have once again visited the park, and were delighted to find that the work that was being carried out during our last visit had been finished, and that once again the Cronins have excelled themselves in providing a safe haven for all the ...  Read the complete review

Monkey World is located just outside Wool, it is the place that was featured in the television programme. On my recent holiday to Poole we decided to take the kids to Monkey world for the day. The entrance fee was around £16.00 for 2 adults and 2 children. Very reasonable. Monkey world itself contains rescued monkeys, apes, ...  Read the complete review
