Summer at Monkey World!

When? 01 Jun 2020 to 02 Jun 2020
Where? Wareham

  • Summer at Monkey World!

Enjoy an extra hour at the park this summer! The park extends its opening times to 6pm during July & August, so visitors can see our primates enjoying being out & about in their large outdoor enclosures- important for all but especially for the youngsters! As Monkey World is the official European Crèche for orphaned orangutans, during the warmer months the orphaned infants love to explore their outdoor spaces! Bulu Mata, 5, is getting bigger and braver and is spending more time wrestle playing with his older adoptive brother, Silvestre, whilst infant ladies Rieke, 5, and Mimi, 4, are pros at climbing high to find the tasty breakfast treats hidden around the enclosures.
Visitors can see Bulu, Rieke and Mimi at Monkey World every day through the year apart from Christmas day. The park is also home to over 260 rescued and endangered primates, rehabilitated to live in family groups of their own kind.
For those planning multiple visits over the summer, an adoption pass is a great way to make the pennies go further- as well as helping fund future rescue and rehabilitation work. For just £25 for a child, the adoptive parent will receive a certificate, photo, 3 newsletters a year and entry pass to the park for a whole year!
