Monkey Jungle

This place has been here since 1932. I grew up coming here as a kid and bringing my kids here as well. It is a unique and enjoyable experience with a friendly staff with feeding and educational shows that they provide through out the day. As you check in you have the opportunity to purchase food to feed the monkeys and the fish. The gift shop is reasonably priced with many gift choices. Unfortunately today they had a large portion of the park closed for repairs, and because of that they offered the entrance fee at a discount; it was 20 for adults, so you may want to call before coming to confirm if the entire park has reopened. There was no water fountains throughout the park but vending machines. No food was available the day we were here. As you walk through this place you can clearly see that it has been around for many years and could use some updates and repairs, but it is clean and managed well but no updates. They keep the area looking like a natural habitat so it is not manicured for that reason. They charge 150 if you want to have a private guided tour and a more personal experience with the monkeys but we did not choose to do this. Parking was easy and there was no charge to park. Overall we had a great day enjoying a place that we remembered very well as a kid.

An absolute South Florida treasure! I’ve been coming to Monkey Jungle for over 35 years, and it never gets old. In fact, the experience just gets better and better every time I visit. It’s such a unique place where humans are caged and monkeys run wild—you won’t find anything else like it! The staff is always friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly care about the animals. Feeding the monkeys is such a fun and unforgettable experience, and it’s perfect for all ages. The grounds are well maintained, and the educational aspects make it not just entertaining, but meaningful too. Monkey Jungle has been a part of my life for decades, and I always recommend it to friends, family, and visitors. If you’re in South Florida , this is a must-visit spot. I can’t wait to go back—again and again!

Did the private encounter with the spider monkeys and would highly recommend doing this! It was expensive ($321 for two people). However we are both huge animal lovers so it was well worth the money. There’s actually a lot to see for a small place. The staff really cares for the monkeys and I think that’s great to see. You do have to wear a mask and gloves when going in to feed the monkeys so going on a cooler day is probably best. We went in February and weather was fantastic. The monkeys get full quick so it’s best to jump in and feed them and film as soon as you start and screen shot pics after. They’re fast! Definitely a fun experience. Our tour guide was great! I didn’t get her name but we went on 2/14 at 10am (for management). She was knowledgeable, friendly, and fun even though the group we went with was large.

Visited Monkey Jungle on a Sunday morning- no line, no wait; very peaceful. Staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. The shows are informative and fun. Can’t wait to come back and do the guided tour where you interact with the monkeys… the group ahead of us looked like they were having a wonderful time. Our favorite part was learning about their way of living and feeding them, so adorable. They also have a reptile and Amazonian rainforest presentation. The gift shop has a wide selection of souvenirs and memorable gifts.

It was my first time visiting. My friend said that it used to be much better and bigger (it's partially open). You get to purchase some food for feeding monkeys (sunflower seeds, rasins, cranberries). It's all caged up, so monkeys run all around you. There are feeding bowls hanging down from the caged ceiling, so once you put food, monkeys would pull by the chain all the way up and eat(that was fun to see). You don't see many species. Maybe if you get a private tour for $150 pp, you'd be able to see (not sure)
