Monkey Town Primate Centre

Monkey Town Primate Centre, located in Somerset West near the Helderberg Mountains, was formerly a renowned primate park but has transitioned into a recreational venue. Visitors can now enjoy swimming pools, a toddler inflatable area, a 70‑metre supertube, adrenaline‑pumping slides, and picnic or braai spots, making it ideal for families and groups. The venue also hosts school excursions, corporate events, and private functions, with a VIP area featuring a garden and private pool. Notably, the primate park closed permanently in April 2024, and while animal viewing is no longer available, the site remains a vibrant leisure destination.
