Access guidance
- The pathway that runs through the monkey enclosure is ¾ of a mile long. The trail is wheelchair and mobility scooter friendly, however, due to some steeper slopes, some wheelchair users do find the steeper areas inaccessible.
- There is free onsite car parking, with disabled bays and plenty of room for coaches and busses.
- The Banana Café and Jungle Shop are all accessible and staff are more than happy to help assist. Disabled toilets are located next to the café.
- Guide dogs are prohibited in the park due to dogs being a natural predator to Barbary macaques, however, other arrangements can be made and we are happy to keep guide dogs in the office during your trip. Please ring in advance.
