We found this zoo about 4 years ago. This is an amazing place my children are grown up but loved it. Myself and my husband go on our own each year and visit 2 or 3 times during our holiday. I wanted to keep this place a secret but they need the visitors to stay open. The hotels try to put you off and say to to Las aguilas and Lorel Park. these parks are expensive and can afford to pay for advertising. When we got a taxi there this Aug 2008 we told the driver monkey park and he took us to Las Aguilas jungle park. He said oh confused funny he advertised las aguilas on his cab. He then took us to the write place. These Monkeys here are well looked after and happy and some rescued. Take grapes and raisons monkey nuts and bananas for the chimps.Still buy a bag of the seed on sale at the kiosk because it helps with the up keep. My favouite Monkey is the black and white lemur his name is barisio. He is the only black and white lemur there and has got no mate so he sulks. Everyone pays attention to all the grey ones and he sits watching. So if you go be patient and keep talking to him. A lady told me they were trying to get a mate for him but the paper work and cost was too high. He mixes with others but he is special so he gets lots of strokes from me. He loves to be tiggled under the chin. He is awake in the morning but hides and sleeps in the afternoon. Please visit this zoo it is the best. I love it there. adults and children enjoy it. The people keep this zoo very clean. I congratulate them I wish they could advertise it but then would it get spoilt. I hope not but they need us visitors. We get there early park opens 9.30

It was such a brilliant experience that we went there again. The monkeys were such fun and it was wonderful that we could walk freely with them jumping on us and feeding them. We found that they weren't as keen on the food being sold at the kiosk as they were with the grapes we took - a tip from a waiter. It was a marvellous experience and it is is a pity it is not advertised more. We took a taxi from Playa de las Americas which was very cheap.

Not an attraction that is widely advertised but fantastic! So good we went twice adult price just 10 euro kids around 6. Well worth a visit. Take some raisins as this will make you lots of friends! Lovely clean surroundings where the monkeys and lemurs will happily spend time on your shoulder or holding your hand whilst you feed them. All in all brilliant we had all different ages in our group from 2-40 and everyone had a great time. well worth a visit.

The Monkey Park was a great outing in Tenerife and much cheaper than any other attraction. We spent a beautiful morning there among the monkeys and iguanas, etc. As mentioned by other posts, it is not easy to find, you can see it from TF-1, but the road to get there is not well marked. Heading North toward Santa Cruz on TF-1, take exit 26 and head under the overpass, don't end up back on the TF-1, instead take the small road, and the first left. If you were heading toward the TF-1 on this road there is a sign for Parque Exotica, but nothing for Monkey Park. Keep following this road parallel to the TF-1 and you will see Monkey Park on the right. There will probably only be a few cars in the lot, this is part of the benefit. Head inside and you will be among the monkeys in minutes.
There are a great variety of monkeys and lemurs, bring some bananas and apples and you will be very popular! The dry food that they sell is not a big hit. Cut the apples into little pieces and it will go over better.
Both of my kids (9 & 5) had a great time and we got some good pictures of the experience. The monkeys in cages are very interesting, but the chimps seemed to go a little crazy while we were there.
I will echo the extra shirt post, as my husband is still trying to get the stains out of his!
The kids will love it!
