People also ask
- How much does Monkey House VIP cost?
The Monkey House VIP visit costs from $90 per adult. Children ages 3 to 12 pay less, while infants under 3 have free tickets. Local pickup is included in the option, so your accommodation still needs to fit the covered area.
- How long is the Monkey House VIP visit?
The outing lasts 2 hours 30 minutes. Staff guide the visit and explain how the monkeys act. You can take your own photos during the second part, so your camera stays stored at first.

Departures run daily at 8:30 a.m. and 10:30 a.m., with another at 12:30 p.m. The experience is the same option across those times. Pick a slot that fits your day, then arrange collection from an eligible local point.
- Can infants join Monkey House VIP?
Yes, infant tickets cover ages 0 to 2. Your infant needs an adult's lap for transport, and strollers are allowed at the venue. The monkeys remain free to move away, so bringing a young child doesn't guarantee close contact with an animal.

No, the tour can have up to 40 travelers. You can book for up to 15 at once. Your family shares the visit with other guests, and staff guide you while the monkeys stay free to move away.
