We didn’t use binoculars and saw pretty well everything but don’t be afraid to use binoculars or zoom on your phone. camera.”
A fourth added: “We visited yesterday with my 8 yr old daughter and she absolutely loved every minute! The monkeys were hilarious and my daughter to great pleasure in watching them jump around.
