We are excited to have you join us for our MONKEY FESTIVAL on the 8th 9th and 10th of July 2022. Each day will have a different theme to awaken different senses for your little one and for you. We want to see their imagination take flight with speed like when a Gibbon is on flight through the forest. We want to hear their howls of laughter like the Black and White Ruffed Lemurs when they see something and want to tell the whole troop. We want to hear their excited giggles and chatter like when the Capuchins have found something yummy to eat in the forest. We want to see them look for the treasures like the Squirrel monkeys when they search for grubs. Join us, won’t you? There will be prizes to be won daily to make this adventure surely worth your time. Also…you get to spend the day in our forest with our amazing animals.
