Monkey Haven is an award-winning primate rescue centre on the Isle of Wight, UK. You can use our app to plan your visit, check the current Keepers’ Talks and Feed Times, and to get the lowdown on your favourite animals at the Haven, with photos, information and videos featuring our keepers in action. While you’re at the Haven, as a souvenir you can add Monkey Haven filters to your selfies using our in-app camera. Visitors to the Haven can also use the app to scan coded signs placed around the grounds to follow a Banana Badge trail: collect all 9 ‘virtual bananas’ and collect a tiny treat from our Gift Shop. Plus, hidden signs can be scanned to go ‘behind the scenes’.
