As you walk through the habitats of the monkeys, you can feed the primates with food purchased from the park entrance. Monkey Park Tenerife also has a petting zoo home to tortoises and guinea pigs, in addition to enclosures with iguanas, crocodiles, big cats, and exotic birds. You can purchase your admission ticket for the park at the entrance hall or book in advance via the park’s website.
Monkey Park is situated in Arona, a 5-minute drive from the centers of both Los Cristianos and Playa de las Americas. If traveling by car along the TF1 freeway, take exit 26 and then head towards San Lorenzo.
The park is open daily, year-round from the morning until the early evening. If visiting during the school holidays in peak season, expect to wait in line to purchase a ticket.
Increase your chances of spotting monkeys and other creatures in their natural environment by exploring some of Tenerife’s national parks. Top picks include Teide National Park, famous for its otherworldly volcanic landscapes and native fauna, and Corona Forestal Natural Park, where dense pine forests harbor diverse species of birds.
