A fun place, Has been there since the 40's. A part of history of South Dade. The monkeys are cageless and the humans walk in a cage like structure. You can feed the monkeys too. A very friendly place! More

A little pricey but well worth the experience. We did the amazon tour and feed the monkey's from our hands. It was a 45 minute tour and something we will never forget. Great interaction all day, we spent 5 hours there. Would spend the money again! More

After seeing the advertisements for this place for many years We had always asked people and received bad reviews. I am pleased to review that our visit was the exact opposite. When my daughter said she really wanted to go see monkeys for her Birthday we decided to give it a shot. We had a great day at Monkey Jungle.... More

Visited the jungle through the week when it is quieter. When you first come in, you buy some monkey food. As you walk through the attraction, monkeys drop metal dishes on a chain for you to put food in, then the pull the dish up. Shows were good, educational and a first where I had never seen a monkey swim... More

This is worth a trip to. The Monkeys are in the open and you are in the cage. King the Gorilla is amazing. A great half day out. More

Though the price is pretty steep, we suggest you go for the extra package and go "into" the jungle, to let the squirrel monkeys jump all over you, and feed from your hand. Kids will remember it for a lifetime. More

We visited Monkey Jungle while on vacation. While surrounded by many areas loaded with tourists, when you are at Monkey Jungle, you feel like you are in a whole diiffent world, away from commercial tourist traps. Monkey Jungle keeps the monkey's wild and cages the humans, allowing the Monkeys to do what monkeys do! Very interesting shows, nice clean place... More
