Days Out – Trentham Monkey Forest
Walk amongst monkeys and enjoy a unique day out in Staffordshire for all the family.
Monkey Forest is home to 140 free-ranging Barbary macaques. Visitors walk along the 3/4 of a mile pathway. Walk, watch and be AMAZED as the endangered monkeys live as they would in the wild.
The woodland walk is just less than a mile long and there are multiple information boards along the way. Knowledgeable guides are situated throughout the forest to help answer any questions you may have during your trip and to ensure the park rules are followed.
Food & Drink Options
There’s a whole range of hot and cold food available at Banana Cafe, from jacket potatoes and sandwiches, to wraps, sausages and fries to sweet treats like ice cream and muffins!
Drinks include milkshakes, smoothies, lattes, hot chocolates and juices too.
They have gluten-free, vegan and vegetarian options too.
See the monkeys, become a monkey!
Learning has never been so much fun!
With the new play area now open, the experience can now be extended outside of the monkey enclosure, providing younger guests with even more activities to do at the park.
The exciting space has been designed for children to explore and replicate various primate behaviour, proving fun and educational.
How it Started?
140 monkeys living in Stoke on Trent? This unique idea first started back in 1969 when our first park was opened in France. Due to the success of the park, a second park was opened in Rocamadour, also in France. Later a third park opened in Germany in 1976.
In 2004 two groups of Barbary macaques from the existing parks were re-homed here in Trentham, and the park opened to the public in July 2005.
Unfortunately, Barbary macaques are listed as endangered by the IUCN Red List due to loss of habitat and the illegal pet trade.
Trentham Monkey Forest aims to provide visitors with a unique, interesting and educational experience, whilst raising awareness and informing you of our involvement in the conservation of the endangered wild Barbary macaques, and the research we do to help protect them.
