Really sorry, never saw this note. I don’t remember, but it was for sure less than $10.00 I remember thinking it wasn’t expensive

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!!

Q:
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:
My belief is that you will be fine as long as you don’t carry food or a water bottle. The other advice is don’t make direct eye contact.
