Monkey World There is more to learning outside the classroom than just monkey-ing around!

As well as curriculum-linked sessions and workbooks, MonkeyWorld offers a chance to see over 250 monkeys and apes, including the largest group of chimpanzees outside of Africa, Europe’s only orangutan crèche and a breeding group of woolly monkeys – all in one day!
