My friends and I grabbed a taxi from our resort - the taxi driver ensured us that we would find our visit very rewarding. First impressions are of the visitor information area where you pay to ente…Full review by Crystalline4u

We loved the monkey forest. The cost to enter is $6 USD per person and well worth the price of admission. There are easy walking paths and with the thick forested trees, it doesn't get to hot althoug…Full review by James C

Monkeys will do what they do. They are used to people but this is their territory and if you have shiny things or bits of food they get curious and will try to grab them, so leave jewellery behind. O…Full review by swinstan
We are visiting in a little over a month. Went to purchase tickets and it says they are out of stock, for the next year! Is it day if purchases only? Or tour operators buy all the tickets? Or operator error :-)?
A:
We walked in and bought the tickets - no need to do it in advance.
Hi. We have one big travel backpack and will go through the ubud, is there any safe place there to leave the bag free or for money while taking the walk?
A:
I would maybe ask to leave it at the office while you walk through the monkey Forest.
Is it safe to take a 1 year old baby to this sanctuary!?! Do the monkeys come up close to you while walking around!?!
A:

Yes the monkeys can and often will jump on you. They climbed up on my boyfriends head and rode around for a while. There were a few children (under 5) while we were there and most were quite freaked out, a lot were crying. Personally I would STRONGLY discourage bringing the little ones!!
Hello everyone, I’m very interested in visiting here in the near future and being such I have a few questions, if you have time. In a general sense monkeys are wild animals and I would assume this means there can be some unpredictable behavior. Does anyone know if it would be suitable to visit for a person with poorly functioning motor neurons? This can effect my walking and even talking at times and I am worried the monkeys might respond adversely to something and maybe (not knowing that I am disabled obviously as they are wild) and perhaps injure me? Other than the above concern I am really looking forward to this adventure. Thank you
A:
In my opinion I do not think the monkeys will seek you out. If a monkey seems interested you can turn around and walk away.
