Monkey Park

Monkey Park stands out as a conservation-focused sanctuary rather than a typical zoo in Tenerife. Located on the Moreque road near Los Cristianos, this compact breeding center is dedicated to protecting endangered primate species. Visitors enjoy a unique walk-through experience where they can interact closely with the animals and even hand-feed them in specially designed enclosures.

What makes Monkey Park truly special is its conservation mission, clearly setting it apart from traditional zoos. Every visit supports the care and protection of threatened species, adding educational and ethical value to the experience. While the park isn't vast, it houses an interesting variety of animals including several primate species and smaller mammals like guinea pigs. It's a beloved spot among families looking for an affordable, educational outing where kids can learn about wildlife conservation while enjoying safe, supervised interaction with the park's residents.
