Very interesting visit. One can get within a metre of the monkeys. Good for young children. Value for money - children under five are free

A really nice place where you can walk among the monkeys, they will wander around you and sit nearby, kids loved it. Only things against it are on a hot day there is very little shade so take plenty of water with you, hats, suncream etc, also it isn't as big as I expected, but still if you like monkeys and especially if you have kids you will probably love it.

Was a wonderful close encounter with macaques, watched young monkeys playing together, mother caring for her 1 month old, and social interaction. Beautiful views over Rocamadour also.

Beautiful park, it's obvious the monkeys are taken care of with their best interest in mind, the monkeys get a lot of forest area to roam around so it's possible you don't see a lot of monkeys if they don't want to be around people but that's what makes this park so great in my opinion: the monkeys aren't forced out for the pleasure of the visitors. I got a little stuffed monkey from the giftshop and named it Luana after the amazing employee that answered our questions about the park and the monkeys. No food and smoking/vaping, together with not being allowed to touch the monkeys again shows that the park behaves with the monkeys well-being in mind. The people giving bad reviews because of this makes me upset, animals are not just for our pleasure!

Lovely to see the work that the staff do, a shame that you can't feed them anymore and the staff usher them away if they are on paths. Still a lovely visit though.
