Wales Ape & Monkey Sanctuary

“We had a fantastic visit to this monkey sanctuary and would highly recommend it to anyone who loves animals. The staff were all friendly, welcoming and clearly passionate about the incredible work they do caring for the monkeys. ​We paid extra for the feeding experience, and it was worth every penny. Nicola was absolutely brilliant - so knowledgeable, enthusiastic and happy to answer all our questions. You could really tell she knew her stuff, and it made the experience even more enjoyable. ​It's important to remember that this is a sanctuary, not a polished commercial attraction. If you're expecting flashy buildings and perfectly manicured grounds, you may be surprised. But that's exactly what makes it so special - the focus is on the welfare of the animals rather than creating a theme park experience. ​It's a wonderful cause that deserves support, and seeing the monkeys so well cared for was heartwarming. We had a great day and will definitely be visiting again in the future.”

“Awesome sanctuary, had a meet and greet with the chimps, what an experience. Got to meet my adopted friend Ronnie who is a real character. Staff were super friendly and very knowledgeable, and obviously very caring towards the residents. Fantastic job all, can't wait to visit again 😁”

“A large sanctuary for Apes, is being renovated but some of the animal enclosures are seriously too small. It is a good place to visit if interested in Apes, could do with descriptions of the animals on each cage not just a large board where you have to work out which animal is which. The price is reasonable but they would earn a lot more if they had a cafe on site.”
