I was here for the second time and it was pretty fun, but some monkeys can be aggressive so watch out for that. I was also here 10 years ago when my travel partner got bitten This time went better (…Full review by Lovisa W

This is an amazing place to visit. The monkeys are busy and come move quickly but are not threatening in anyway. Well worth a lookFull review by markc000018

We are visiting in a little over a month. Went to purchase tickets and it says they are out of stock, for the next year! Is it day if purchases only? Or tour operators buy all the tickets? Or operator error :-)?
A:
We walked in and bought the tickets - no need to do it in advance.
Hi. We have one big travel backpack and will go through the ubud, is there any safe place there to leave the bag free or for money while taking the walk?
A:
There isn’t a safe place to store it once you’re past the ticket people. Lots of people took their backpacks. However I’d suggest talking to the ticket counter and seeing if they can …

Is it safe to take a 1 year old baby to this sanctuary!?! Do the monkeys come up close to you while walking around!?!
A:
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 …
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!!
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.
