This is an amazing place to visit. The monkeys are busy and come move quickly but are not threatening in anyway. Well worth a lookFull review by markc000018

It's kind of intimidating at first, but you get comfortable once you start walking around. As long as you give the monkeys, especially ones with babies, their space, and no direct eye contact, you'…Full review by iampauly

Yes the monkeys can and often will jump on you. They climbed up on my boyfriends head and rode around for a while. There were a few children (under 5) while we were there and most were quite freaked out, a lot were crying. Personally I would STRONGLY discourage bringing the little ones!!

Q:
Hello everyone, I’m very interested in visiting here in the near future and being such I have a few questions, if you have time. In a general sense monkeys are wild animals and I would assume this means there can be some unpredictable behavior. Does anyone know if it would be suitable to visit for a person with poorly functioning motor neurons? This can effect my walking and even talking at times and I am worried the monkeys might respond adversely to something and maybe (not knowing that I am disabled obviously as they are wild) and perhaps injure me? Other than the above concern I am really looking forward to this adventure. Thank you
A:
My belief is that you will be fine as long as you don’t carry food or a water bottle. The other advice is don’t make direct eye contact.
