Is this experience suitable for me?
Meet the Monkeys in the Rainforest is available for adults and children over the age of 6 years old; however children under the age of 16 must be accompanied by a participating adult who also has a valid Meet the Monkeys experience ticket.
The experience takes place on the rainforest floor which has uneven surfaces so unfortunately this experience is not wheelchair accessible and guests must have good mobility.
