    What To Expect

    • Meet your favorite exotic animals during an interactive experience. Get hands-on and up-close with monkeys, lemurs, otters, foxes, a sloth, wildcats, coatis and snakes.

    • Hand-feed, pet and play with our well socialized exotic animals. We provide all the treats and snacks for you to entice them to quickly become their new best friend.

    • Capture these rare moments and your special memories with as many photos and videos as you’d like during the event.

    Do we get to hold the animals?

    Yes! Our ruffed lemurs are cuddlers. Fisher and Ocean, our asian small clawed otters love to play. Our ball pythons are one of the most docile reptiles for handholding.  We cannot guarantee holding any of the monkeys, they decide who they go to. Handling primates is based on trust that is earned. They will happily eat from your hand and let you pet them.

    Can we take photos?

    Of course! We encourage photos and videos with your favorite exotics. Don’t forget to tag us on social media if you share! @funkymonkeyranch We will also have a photo backdrop set up to encourage capturing your memories.

    Can we bring our own food for the animals?

    We will provide all the fresh fruit and veggies for handfeeding. If you just love to give or have a home garden, the animals love just about all produce and Gerber baby puffs as a treat.

    If I can't make it, can I get a refund?

    Unfortunately, our event tickets are non-refundable. We try to provide a fun experience during our events and use the ticket money to cover costs for the event in advance. To make sure there is enough treats and food for everyone to feed and activities for those in attendence, we plan our event budget around the ticket sales.
