Monkeying around!
Nestled into the side of the south Cornish coast between Looe and Seaton, the Wild Futures’ Monkey Sanctuary is a day out to remember.
Set up over four decades ago to care for ex-pet monkeys, it is now home to four species all rescued from the U.K and international primate pet trades.
On visiting the sanctuary, there’s a lot to do for the whole family; you can take a tour of the monkey enclosures and learn about these fascinating animals from our team expert keepers.
Or take a gentle stroll around the beautiful woodland gardens, a haven for native wildlife and stop for a bite to eat in our award winning tree-top cafe.
The children may be enticed by
the play area, where they can swing like monkeys or take part in arts and crafts in the purpose built activity room.
