You can buy nuts a bananas on site but seemed expensive. We were there early, at 9ish but not a monkey to be seen. We sat and rested for awhile after walking the perimeter (it's a wooded area so trainers are best) then suddenly there were lots and lots of monkeys. They are very tame and will eat out of your hand. Definitely worth a visit.…

nice to see and feed the monkeys. Don't be ripped off when you arrive. Buy your nuts, in shells, and bananas before you go much cheaper. Also be prepared to say you've been before and ignore the "guides" who basically just want your money. It's easy enough to find your way around. Go in the morning, that's when the monkeys take the nuts more readily, by afternoon they're full. Don't forget the goats love the nuts too.…
