Trentham Monkey Forest

Monkey forest is always nice for a couple of hour visits. Mingling in with wild monkeys is an incredible experience. They are well fed and it’s a safe and pleasurable walk around some stunning natural scenery. Access is doable with a mobility scooter.

Delightful way to spend a few hours. We arrived just in time for feeding at 11.15. The staff are really professional and the talk regarding the monkeys was most informative without being boring. It was lovely to see the monkeys really enjoying themselves swinging and climbing in the trees.

Really pleased we visited. The monkeys were really interesting to watch and the staff were passionate about them. They could identify all the monkeys. We saw a 3 month old baby being carried on her Mother's back. There were also 3 x 1 year old monkeys who were having fun sliding down a tree, it was lovely and funny to watch. Highly recommended.

Visited a short while back and loved it, the walk is shorter than expected but you can walk round and do as many laps of the whole place as you want. Toilets were to an excellent standard. Was exciting to be do close to the monkeys! It was fascinating watching their behaviour. The staff fully explain why they do everything and help you understand the monkeys more. Was a fantastic and interesting day out.

We did the monkey breakfast experience, staff were really friendly and very knowledgeable. It was great to see the monkeys without the crowds and learn more about the individual characters as well as the more general information about how the monkeys are looked after, the conservation program and their life in the wild. You can tell the monkeys are very well looked after and are relaxed in their environment, it's as much a natural environment as possible for them. After a coffee in the cafe, we then went back into the forest once it was fully open and again it was a great experience to see the monkeys happy in their environment even with lots of people around.

Great place to visit although a little short lived.

Lovely place to walk around with monkeys roaming free and in touching distance (although you're not allowed to for safety reasons). Feeding time show is quarter past the hour.

Small cafe on site selling basics like sausage and chips, plus a small playground outside for young children.

You could stretch it out to 3hrs but certainly not a full days entertainment. I recommend visiting trentham gardens opposite if that is the intention.

We absolutely love this place. We love how the monkeys roam free in natural woodland. There areas in which you can watch them being fed there is a cafe/restaurant which is a bit pricey but is nice.

You really do get up close and personal with these monkeys, especially at feeding time. The talks from the handlers are really interesting. Different groups and types of monkeys hang out in different parts of the park. You can't take any food into the park. There is a cafe out the front but it is overpriced and the food is not great. You can get into Trentham Gardens from this end as well if you want to make a day out of it.

Good place to take kids as they can walk around without any barriers between them and the monkeys. Great staff who have good knowledge of the monkeys and proactively interact with the visitors answering questions. Regular feeding times and talks by the staff too. It doesn't take too long to walk around the area that the monkeys are in, but you can linger all you like. Once outside, there is a play area for the children and a restaurant. The visit can be extended by a walk into nearby Trentham gardens.
