In with the Monkeys

London, United Kingdom•4.6(25)•Wildlife Center, Zoo

Observe black-capped squirrel monkeys in a walk-through Bolivian rainforest habitat, or feed inquisitive monkeys in the Living Rainforest experience.

In with the Monkeys at London Zoo offers visitors an immersive experience with black-capped squirrel monkeys in a specially designed 1500m² habitat that recreates the forests of Bolivia. The walk-through enclosure features open-air boundaries, allowing close observation of the breeding group as they leap, swing, and interact in their naturalistic environment. Plants have been carefully selected to provide enrichment through their scents and fruits. Visitors can enjoy two distinct monkey experiences: the Squirrel Monkeys habitat in the orange zone, where visitors walk alongside the animals with no barriers separating them, and Monkey Valley, featuring gravity-defying colobus monkeys in a tree-top inspired setting. The venue also offers a "Meet the Monkeys" experience where families can feed the inquisitive primates their favourite snacks while learning about conservation efforts. This urban eco-safari is ideal for families of all ages interested in wildlife observation and conservation education. The interactive feeding experience supports London Zoo's conservation missions while providing memorable encounters with these intelligent primates, known for having the largest brain proportionally of all primates.

We got to see the monkeys up close. They have a large variety of monkeys and other animals.

I took my son and his girlfriend as it was her birthday gift. £56 per person and then have to pay general admission to the zoo on top of that and didn’t even get our full 20 mins. 15 mins we got and some of that was taken prepping us, giving us the food to feed them and explaining do’s and don'ts. We love moneys and thought it was going to be an amazing memorable experience. You don’t get to hold them, just put your hand out for them to eat the food. The area in the zoo where you can walk with the monkeys around you was a better experience in my opinion. They are running all around you and can stay and take pics as long as you want. Definitely don’t recommend and was not made special at all. Photos: first two at the experience. Others in the zoo itself.

My daughter only 10 at the time was bitten by a monkey in the walk threw and had her knuckle bone exposed left us in hospital for a week due to infection and swelling, these monkeys are dangerous and should not be able to roam free, my daughter is now scarred for life. She was old enough to react an move quickly the damage this could do to a small toddler I would hate to think I’ll never understand how this is still open
