Wales Ape & Monkey Sanctuary

Was nice to see the animals but would of been great if they done some sort of walk around tour explaining about the animals background, some general facts, how they were rescued etc.

Was no shop on site to offer food or refreshments so call into a shop before you visit as its in a very rural area.

My grandson loved this place. Especially the larger chimps, Nikita with her purple blanket wrapped around her and then there is one who signs to talk to you. There are some rescued dogs here too and a couple of wolves. Everything goes towards keeping the animals too. Its not very big but we were here for nearly two hours so it was worth the money.

Deceptively bigger than it first appears, with plenty on offer if you take the time to really look into every space. My son really enjoyed it, and the animals didn't seem maltreated or under stimulated. They all had plenty of food and seemed very active.

We had a really nice time here. Some of the reviews on here are off putting but we decided to decide for ourselves and so glad we did :) We had a lovely welcome from the lady at the ticket office - good amount of parking. Its bigger than it looks on arrival and we felt the animals had a decent amount of space to play. There are plenty of picnic tables around for a pit stop or picnic. A small selection of drinks are available to buy. There are signs on some of the animals on their amazing / sad journeys. Please do remember, this is a sanctuary and these amazing animals have been rescued - its not a zoo, so don't expect frills or theme rides... just enjoy their beauty and the fact they are safe and your ticket money is helping this charity. Keep up the good work all! Well worth the visit! ❤️

*please don't take your dogs as it causes distress to some of the animals (as we witnessed for ourselves)

Really lovely place , the different types of monkeys and apes are amazing , they also have meerkat, wolves , ponies , it's a really beautiful place with lovely views , parking is close , staff are really friendly and helpful , my children really loved it here so it's a good place to take them during the holidays , highly recommended 😀

Heart-warming experience visiting the Sanctuary. We adopt a Wolf here, Zebb, and its great to meet the workers who have rescued and cared for these animals. Would recommend a visit to see the animals. There's refreshments and a gift shop there too.

Brilliant little sanctuary,various species of monkeys and other animals. Allow an hour to get around. Pretty remote hilly location so make sure your vehicles clutch is in good order 😆

Lovely place for a quick visit and not too expensive. Some animals inside with rain and cold but still nice to go around. No food or snacks on site but coffee machine and a place to stop. Good selection of animals but we didn't see as many as website portrays. We will be going back. Family of 4 (one is under 3) cost £22 total
