A huge improvement the facilities and park since I was there. Not huge but suited us with young kids. We had a double pram and got round fine. Monkeys are a lot better behaved than they used to be now that you can not feed them. They all look well looked after and free to do as they please. Recommend to families in bali.

Excellent experience for adults and kids alike. The monkeys roam free and are generally quite passive around visitors. That said I did have one jump on my head trying to steal my sunglasses!! We got plenty of photos and had a nice walk round. There is a small cafe selling drinks, snacks and ice cream at the main entrance. Point to note - not pushchair / buggy friendly. Despite seeing photos of others with them, this is Bali - it’s very undulating and full of steps. Not suitable for push chairs at all and will limit where you can go and what you can do.

The monkeys realized that the temples were a safe place to exist in the crowded island of Bali. The 1260 long-tailed macaques, have now provided a source of income for the community as the Monkey Forest draws 10-15,000 visitors a month . The monkeys are unfazed by all the people around and we saw a few jump up on people to take bottles out of backpacks. Be sure to not have any loose items and keep cell phones very close. There are some amazing sculptures around and we saw some funeral processions. There are many photo opportunities here. Just hold tight to your belongings.

It was a really unique and fun experience to walk around a temple in the jungle with so many monkeys. The views were breathtaking and the monkeys were very tame. I don't recommend getting selfies with them as even the trained ones can bite and you will need a rabies shot. Even though I didn’t touch any, I walked too close as the same night I found a tick on my foot. I recommend to check yourselves after going as you can likely prevent Lyme's disease if you remove the ticks within 24h!

It was a fantastic decision to come here. I really liked it, despite the fact that there were a lot of restrictions to follow. However, those rules had a purpose. Make sure you stick to the rules. The antics, cuteness, and humour of monkeys could not be overstated. It is wonderful that drivers are allowed to enter with you. Although there was a lot of foot traffic, I wasn't surprised because this is a very popular tourist destination.

We visited in the afternoon and it was very hot and humid. There are hundreds of monkeys about and you are of course walking in their home, not a zoo. So be prepared for them to jump on your shoulder or smell food in your bag and to go for it! There are monkeys of all ages here, the little babies are of course very cute. FYI Grab taxi’s can’t come and pick you up from inside the gate, you need to go to the main road but its a one way system, so if you miss them they’ll ask you to cancel because it will take them 10+ minutes to drive back around given the traffic.

Fantastic excursion and definitely one of the top things to do in Ubud. The monkeys were quite outgoing and naughty at the same time. It just takes about an hour to walk around, so it's well worth checking out if you're in the area.

Really fun place to visit to see the wild long tailed macaques, but use common sense and be respectful to the animals. The monkeys are everywhere in the place and roam freely. They are very accustomed to being around people and WILL take items from you. I made sure not to wear a hat, earrings, or carry around any loose items. I was careful with my phone. Do not try to feed them or touch them. The flora through the forest was awesome and you felt like you were waking through the jungle. There a so many monkeys and they are really exciting to watch their behaviors and interactions with one another. I watched one turn a faucet on and drink from it and some juvenile ones swimming and playing in a creek, and a baby nursing from a mother and loved the entire experience. I wish we had had time to go back back second day. A must do while in Ubud. We walked there right from our hotel Tegal Sari.

Several families of Balinese Macaques in this forest in the centre of Ubud. Spent a couple of hours walking the various paths and observing the monkeys. They are mischievous so watch your belongings and they do like their well known introduction ritual to each other. Thoroughly enjoyed my time in the forest.

So funny watching all the monkeys. Some interact with people. Some don't. They are monkeys though so do listen to the recommendation about not taking personal belongings and sunglasses and food etc in. The may well steal them. You can stash your stuff at reception for free.
