We visited in 2011 and really enjoyed our visit. Not exactly a tourist attraction so a taxi might be better tahn driving depending on where you are staying. The hosts are very pleasant and the trip offers an opportunity to interact with the female primates. Snacks for the apes are given so you can hand them out. Note...do not take... More

Based on the reviews from Trip Advisor members, we booked a time slot with Heidi and the monkeys at Jungle Palace. It was a truly unique experience. You go in with the others in your group. Be prepared to remove all jewelry, sunglasses, contents of pockets, etc. as the monkeys will grab anything and everything they can! Heidi and her... More

One of the highlights of our trip to the Yucatan Peninsula. The monkeys are very special. I was amazed at how clean they are and they don't smell at all. It is obvious they are very well looked after. Their enclosures are huge and they all seemed very happy and healthy. We loved the interaction. My son especially liked having... More

Book in advance. Heidi limits the encounters to twice a week. This is a once in a lifetime experience and very educational. Heidi and Joel have committed their lives to these creatures and their rehabilitation. The enclosures are clean, large and well equipped with stimulating things for them to do. I feel blessed to have been able to participate. This... More

Last month we went to the Jungle Place for the third time. As in the past visits it was awesome. Heidi and Joel are fantastic and you can see the love they have for all of their animals, not just the monkeys. I watched the way Heidi and Joel talked to and interacted with the monkeys and I just wanted... More

This was an amazing experience! We booked our spot before getting to our resort, and got a little worried when no-one at the resort knew what we were talking about when asking the best way to get here! Luckily the cab driver knew where it was. Heidi and Joel were wonderful, and they clearly love the animals they have rescued,... More

Our 18 year old daughter insisted we book this visit for our upcoming trip and even offered to pay for it. So, we contacted Heidi and she had one available appointment during our week long stay so we sent the deposit. Shortly after receiving our deposit, we were sent detailed directions and information. The Jungle Place was a short 15... More

After reading all the reviews, I was very excited to so something interesting with my family on our recent vacation. We signed up for the $50/pp visit, thinking that it was also a donation of sorts for a good cause. There is no doubt that they love their pets (I suppose 20 or so monkeys in all), while our kids...

First and foremost, thanks to Heidi and Joel for giving up their lives for the sake of these beautiful animals. It's no small feat to do what they did, and they should be applauded and appreciated tenfold! Secondly, the experience was like no other. The ability to interact with the monkeys is absolutely mind-blowing. It's amazing to see the smiles... More
