Santa Is Coming To Monkey World!

When? 19 Dec 2024 to 20 Dec 2024
Where? Monkey World - Ape Rescue Centre - Wareham

  • Santa Is Coming To Monkey World!

Santa is coming to Monkey World!

From the 19th to 22nd December Santa’s sleigh will touch down at the park!

As well as meeting Santa and receiving a special present from him, your little monkeys can enjoy festive fare, a Christmas trail around the park, and even make a present for the primates with Santa’s elves! The gift shop is stacked full of new items, ideal as presents and stocking fillers- and of course you’ll be able to see our 250 primates during a quieter, peaceful time at the park.

Visiting Santa at Monkey World will help support the rescue and rehabilitation of primates, so help spread Christmas cheer by seeing Santa here!

Booking Information

To book, select your preferred date and time, and the appropriate tickets for each visitor. Slots are in 5 minute increments for each child. If you have two or more children, please book each child into their own, but concurrent, slots (i.e 14:30 and 14:35). Please add the accompanying adults into the first time slot. The two children will visit Santa together, but for a longer time. Children must be accompanied by an adult. The ticket price includes entry to the park. Adoptive parents will be charged just for the experience when selecting the adoptive parent santa ticket.

The Santa experience takes approximately half an hour, and begins when you are collected in a buggy from by the entrance. You can enter the park at any time on the day of your booking, using your booking reference.
