Good to know
Know before you go
A cold or flu rules out the monkey encounter. Sunscreen and insect repellent must stay off before your visit. Runners also requires a liability waiver, so allow time for the paperwork before joining the guided activities.
Comfortable walking shoes suit the garden and plantation portions. Bring your camera and cash for souvenirs. Water comes with the tour, but food and the locker fee remain separate expenses during your visit.
Your payment card and matching photo ID are required at check-in. The cardholder's first and last names must match your booking contact. A mobile ticket alone doesn't replace those documents.
Infants sit on an adult's lap during transport. The park isn't wheelchair accessible. Pregnant travelers and people with heart conditions can't join the Monkeyland tour.
Ordinary rain doesn't stop the outing. Hurricanes or tropical storms are exceptions. One free reschedule may be requested for sickness or a mishap, but that request isn't the same as a refund after the cancellation deadline.
Each reservation covers 1 to 15 travelers and needs an adult. A minimum-participant condition also applies, without a stated headcount. You receive a full refund for cancellation at least 24 hours before departure, with no refund after that.
