We visited on the last day of our trip and wished we had visited on the first so we could have visited again. The site is so clean its as if they opened yesterday and all staff are friendly and informative. Its a place you can walk round all day and still be entertaining. The haven is well layed out... More

We found the details of the Owl & Monkey Haven on the back of the Wightlink magazine on the ferry coming over for a week's cottage holiday with our thirteen-month old. Looking for things that would keep her (and us) interested we headed for the haven early in the week. Not so much a rescue centre as a retirement home... More

Visited here with my boyfriend and two teenagers. Was very impressed with the enclosures and the cleanliness of the place. Was rather disappointed with the size, twenty minutes and you're done. No talks or feeding times advertised either. Cost was £29 for a family of four. More

We decided to visit Owl and Monkey Haven having looked at Tripadvisor for some suggestions. We had an absolutely brilliant time and are so glad we went! This isn't anything like a Zoo, you are up close to the animals who really are happy and healthy. It was spotlessly clean (including the loos!) and we spent 2 or 3 happy... More

This lovely haven has recently won a gold award from Tourism South East for best small attraction, and it's easy to see why. The whole site is spotlessly clean and beautifully kept - they even grow fruit and veg on site for the monkeys! A really entertaining afternoon, watching the monkeys at feeding time was great fun, we learned loads... More

I visited with my partner, teenage son and mum and we all loved it here, it's not huge but just wandering around reading all about the animals was great, the enclosures are immaculate and the monkeys and birds thriving and happy. We had a tea and cakes in the cafe. It was a lovely morning and I will definitely go... More

My daughter and I visited this lovely little haven as we love animals. The centre is so clean, the animals are very well looked after and the staff know what they are doing! Informative talks, meet the owl, listen to the monkeys! For smaller children a play area. A good place to visit. More
