I booked our visit to the spider monkeys well in advance because it gets booked up quickly. It was expensive but worth it as you can see that the money gets spent on the monkeys. Heidi and Joel are wonderful, funny, sweet people and they made the visit extra spacial. We went with our two boys. The Jungle Place is... More

This was the highlight of our holiday. We contacted Heidi and Joel a few months in advance to book an appointment to visit as they only allow a small amount of people per day. The Jungle Place is very out of the way and you feel like you are in the jungle. Ensure you remove any suncream and bug spray... More

If you love animals and especially monkeys - then this is your place. The setting is all natural, in the jungle and off the beaten path. The owners clearly care a great deal for these rescued animals. We rented a car, and found the place with no issues with the printed directions they gave us. Be warned, this is not... More

This place is amazing! Heidi and Joel are very friendly and amazingly selfless people - wish more were like them. It is expensive but when you consider that all your money is going towards enriching these animals' lives, it is worth it. I would have liked to contribute more if I could afford it! My husband and I booked this... More

I'm not sure who is writing negative reviews of this wonderful sanctuary and Heidi/Joel but my experience was first rate professional and positive. I had read on Trip Advisor that you need to book way in advance to actually visit The Jungle Place. I booked in December for a March visit. Thank you to that reviewer! It's expensive but worth...

We had such an amazing time at the jungle place, the monkeys are truly incredible. We couldn't stop laughing and smiling the entire time. The monkeys basically play with you and you feed them. The monkeys are so cute they cuddle right up to you play with your hair and they have so much personality. I would not drive here... More

So I must admit i was a little hesitant about going here, I thought that's a fair amount of money to sit around in room full of monkey's for an hour (there were 6 of us in our party - 4 kids, 2 adults) But in the end it was totally worth it.Heidi and Joel are quite the entertainers as... More

What an incredible experience. It's even cooler than I expected it to be. You are actually put into a room with some food and the monkeys. They hug and cuddle and eat out of your hand it's truly incredible and a definite a MUST DO!!!
