Monkey Town Venue

Monkey Town Venue We're a day venue where you can have a lovely braai/picnic & swim in one of our pools, with a 70 meter supertube & speed slides.

There is also a toddler inflatable area for your little ones. Note - the primate centre closed permanently in April 2024. Surrounded by the warmth of a summer day and a slight breeze to cool you off, a group of family and friends come together to enjoy the pleasures of a braai feast and taking a dip in a pool. The table is filled with sizzling grilled meats, yummy corn on the cob, fresh watermelon

slices, and a variety of family favourite side dishes. The joyful chatter and laughter blend perfectly with the aromatic scents of meat cooking on the braai, creating an atmosphere of friendship and delight under the open sky. The venue is designed with youngsters in mind to experience the pure joy of childhood summer fun. It boasts refreshing pools, a toddler inflatable area and a colossal 70-meter supertube. Our adrenaline pumping speed slides and mini putt-putt will also join the list of fun things to do on site very soon, ensuring endless amusement for young and old. We wish everyone to experience the essence of summer and the carefree spirit that comes with it. We have lovely braai and picnic spots situated around the park and our family of free-roaming peacocks might even pop in so say hallo. Monkey Town Venue is THE ideal destination for school field trips and excursions, year-end functions, corporate functions, or just a fun-filled day out. We also offer a VIP area on site, for a limited number of bookings per day. The VIP area is situated in a beautifully designed garden and has a gorgeous deep private pool with the lovely old Cape Dutch Manor House in the background for a picture-perfect day.

Our Story

Monkey Town Primate Centre has over 250 exotic monkeys and apes from 26 different species in a leafy park. We are also called "home" by an additional 400 animals from a variety of exciting species including a variety of birds, fish, antelope, miniature donkeys, alpacas and hedgehogs, just to name a few . Many of the animals at the center are rescues or ex-pets that needed a forever loving home. Guided tours are offered daily at 12h00. Monkey Town Primate Center offers educational programs for schools, birthday party options and entertainment facilities including a children's play park, bbq and picnic facilities. And don't forget to pack your swimming costume! Yes - a toddler area with its own splash pool, multiple big swimming pools and a supertube are available to ensure fun for the whole day!
