OUR FAMILY ASSESSMENT

Family Intelligence

World of Birds presents thousands of birds and small animals in landscaped aviaries that you walk through rather than look into. The Ground Hornbills live in a large walk-through enclosure, and in the Monkey Jungle visitors walk in among New World monkeys and can have direct contact with them. The monkeys are quick and mischievous, so pack everything away in a bag before you go in. The one thing to plan around is timing: the Monkey Jungle is only open in two short windows, one late morning and one early afternoon, so arrive early enough to see the aviaries first and still be at the monkey enclosure while it is open. No booking is needed; tickets are sold at the entrance.
