Why families love Trentham Monkey Forest

Trentham Monkey Forest works so well for families because it feels different from a standard zoo or wildlife park. Instead of looking at animals from behind barriers, you get to walk through the forest and watch the monkeys behaving naturally around you, which makes the whole experience feel much more special.

It’s more than just a monkey walk too. Families can also enjoy:

• Hourly feeding talks
• Two huge primate-themed play spaces
• Woodland walks, a nature pond and willow maze
• A café, picnic area and gift shop on site
