My Husband and I went to this park and enjoyed our visit very much, the animals were well cared for and I was pleased to know that as many of them as possible are being cared for until they can be released back to their natural habitat, the caretakers go to extreme lengths to make every attempt to care for,...

Monkey park was 3 Km's from our rental house. The park is big and has many nice species. Spectacular birds, monkeys, boar, Alligator, and Deer. The place needs more money and more volunteers. They are trying to help the wild life. Needs us tourists to stop by and donate.

The Monkey Park is in fact more than just a zoo-type facility since it also rescues injured animals and birds and after recouperation introduces them back into the wild when it is possible. We feel that this aspect of the Park is well worth mentioning. We found there to be quite a number of birds and other animals in the... More

OK, there's more than monkeys here...They have a large assortment of wild-life. You'll walk from one animal enclosure to another completely at your own pace. You can stare at the monkeys for hours if you choose. There were few visitors....Which was nice because the animals seemed to react to our presence...The macows and monkeys put on a little show for... More

We were so excited when we passed by and decided to visit the park eventhough it started raining. The place is run-down and need some help. It could be a better zoo - we got lots of mosquito bites from there..i'm so sorry but this honestly the only negative I can say about my trip to Costa Rica...I love the... More

We got to see many animals we did not see in the wild. Just to name a few an Ocelot, Toucan, and Spider Monkey. Would be great for small children they even have a butterfly enclosure. I thought the price was a little steep ($15 each) for a 45 minute tour but, this an animal rehabilitation center and I am... More

The monkey park is a refuge for injured or sick animals so the animals who live there are released back into the wild when the animals are ready. On the day I visited we were the only customers. We say a mother marmoset with two tiny babies attached to her fur. It was awesome. We saw many beautiful birds and... More
