“Fantastic!”

Tenerife Zoo Monkey Park

Apr 25, 2008
5/5 found this review helpful

I loved Monkey Park! So much so that we went twice in a week!

I read about it on Trip Advisor and thought it sounded good. But believe it or not...it's actually even better then it sounds on here!

Easy to get to via cab/car, inexpensive and easily the best day out I had while on holiday in Tenerife.

Lots and lots of lovely little monkeys, lemurs, lizards and tortoises in large open cages that you walk through. You can feed the animals with packets of seeds/nuts that you can buy from the front of the park. I also took some dried fruit, grapes and bananas after reading the tips on here. It was definitely worth it and we received a lot of attention from the animals.

The park is quite small, but you can take your time walking through it and go back and forward as much as you like. It wasn't very busy either of the times I went - which is a good thing as you get a good look at everything.

The larger monkeys are in cages towards the back of the park and you can also feed them through the bars. They also have other animals including - birds, big cats, lizards, guinea pigs..

A great place - a must if you're an animal lover in Tenerife. There are not many places which let you get as close to the animals as this.

Totally recommended.

“My favorite place in Tenerife”

Tenerife Zoo Monkey Park

Apr 8, 2008
3/3 found this review helpful

I am so pleased to see the positive reviews of the Monkey Park. I myself live in Tenerife and the Monkey Park is literally on my doorstep. My husband and I visited it in March and I was overwhelmed. What a fantastic place, never have I been to a zoo where you could be so free with the animals. There are various species of monkeys which you can be with in the numerous cages and I fell in love with them all. You must visit this place and take along fruit for the animals. The zoo sells a mixed bag of seeds and other dried stuff, but you will get much more pleasure taking fruit such as bananas, oranges, grapes and even tomatoes as the monkeys will love it.

In addition to the cages you can visit, with no pressure on time as it is usually very quiet, there are many species of monkeys in cages which you can also feed through the bars. There are also guinnea pigs (lots of) birds, mainly species of parrots, panthers and reptiles.

Please visit this park, although I understand why some people hope it remains a secret, but it needs visitors so remember to pay a visit next time you are in Tenerife.

“Not a place like it!”

We decided to visit this place after reading reviews on here and were not disappointed! We were worried it wasn't still around as hadn't seen any info about it when we got to Tenerife and when we asked about it at our reception desk they were trying to put us off. They recommended the Jungle Park which we didn't want to go to as we have been to so many places like this before. They describe the Monkey Park to us as "10 monkey in cages, looking sad and it being very small". We still decided to go however and were very happy we did. It was wonderful, there is no other place when you can actually touch and feed the monkey and they are so so so cute. All the animals are very friendly.... We loved it! There are lots of different types of monkey, chimps, bird, lizards, lemurs and Jaguars! We were baffled that the hotel reception gave a very inaccurate description. Definitely go............but I also do hope it doesn't become extremely popular............

When i went to tenerife we wanted some thing to do which didn't cost more than 50 euro like most things and we came across a brochure about this monkey zoo and it was only 10 euro each so we decided to go not expecting much but it was the best zoo i've ever been too didn't realise how close to the monkeys you get you have to visit if you're in tenerife
