Monkeys etc were awesome! Well worth a visit Friendly place to visit. Animals are fed but allowed to roam. The monkeys come and go but usually report at feeding time. They were amazing. I didn’t enjoy seeing snakes and reptiles and birds caged. I would go again but miss this part out .

This place was so incredibly cool. I've never been up close and personal with monkeys before. We arrived when they were eating fruit and it was quite a sight to see. The entire reserve was very interesting - with caves, turtles and monkeys galore. My entire family really enjoyed this. We had a car rental, so we just drove there, paid the admission price and walked around on our own taking many pics during our visit.

This open air wildlife reserve (there are no fences and the animals live in the forest and congregate for feedings) was a fascinating look at Barbados' wildlife. We saw dozens of green monkeys, tortoises, and cute deer up close and not behind bars, and the 2 p.m. daily feeding was a must see - definitely time your visit for either the 11 a.m. or 2 p.m. feedings. The animals went crazy eating a wheelbarrow full of fruit, and the sight of monkeys riding on the backs of tortoises while chomping on handfuls of grapes was quite the sight to behold! One slight warning - the paths are slippery when wet and kind of uneven, so please exercise caution for visitors with mobility issues. I was fine but slipped on the pavement a couple of times.

We really enjoyed our visit here, but be very careful walking on the paths. They are uneven and can be very slippery. I wouldn't recommend letting very young kids walk or run without holding their hands, and I can't imagine someone trying to push a stroller. The monkeys were incredible. It was so amazing and enjoyable to watch them sitting on the back of the turtles, especially if the turtle was walking. It really is too bad that they don't have benches located around the area so you can sit and relax while watching and filming. That would have made it a five star in my book.

The main attraction are the monkeys, of which there are a great number. They have free roam of the enclosure — which you are inside of. During feeding time you get very close to them, for some fantastic views and interactions. It did however feel somewhat too close at times — large signage pointing out the obvious that wild animals can in fact bite, and in the case of the monkeys “particularly small children”. I doubt however that it is a common occurrence, and the monkeys seemed very well adapted to the crowds. There are some other animals, including a handful of snakes in terrariums. Beware that the footpaths do not seem to be all that well maintained, and they were almost prohibitively slippery even with walking shoes. The facilities are lacking, with only one gents toilet, which was not well cleaned, and without its seat. In summary: the monkeys are a good experience, some other animals of interest, but in what appears to not be an all too well maintained place.

We enjoyed a couple of hours here while we were in barbados. The children enjoyed seeing the monkeys being fed (11am) and then enjoyed spotting the animals in the reserve. Lots of tortoises which our 3 year old son thought was brilliant! Our daughter liked seeing the snakes and the birds. Nice little trip

Lots of tortoises around, very fun. Catching a glimpse of the wild monkeys outside of the feeding times was difficult but we were still able to spot a few. Most of then hang out in the parking lot across the street from the reserve. It is a bit of walking through the trails, you could do half and see most everything the reserve has to offer. If coming a shore from a cruise, just grab a local cab driver for a private experience, just be sure to leave buffer time back to the ship. It's about 40min away with some slight traffic.

We have just returned from the monkey feeding tour with Beautiful Barbados tours. Our driver was Glein, rhymes with Kalvin Klein, what an excellent experience being up close and personal to the green monkeys at feeding time. I strongly recommend this tour.

Very pleasant hour spent here. I was one of the first in & it was quiet which was nice. I saw the monkeys, tortoises, peacocks & deer then wandered by the snakes, birds, etc. It’s nice, very small and that’s okay as long as you know to expect that. I watched ‘feeding time at the zoo’ 😂 well it was like that!! Heaps of visitors (too many?) all crammed in to watch. No need really as once they have their food, the monkeys wander all over eating it anyway. Took a stroll to the ‘viewpoint’ & again probably my own expectations were too high. I hoped to see the East Coast view, instead I just saw a few tree tops 🤔 But I did then drive to Cherry Tree Hill which satisfied my view desires!! 😊 I liked the trip & would say it was worth it. Ooh!!! Good footwear recommendation from other trip advisors was VERY APPRECIATED!!! Went in trainers and it was 💯 the right thing!!! Thanks!

This was one of our stops on an island tour of Barbados. We loved seeing all the animals, especially the monkeys. Lots of photo ops here so be ready, Wear shoes like sneakers due to uneven walking paths
