We are off to the West Midlands Safari Park with a couple of our friends tomorrow, I have never been before, [don,t like the idea of the monkey,s jumping over the car] am I right in saying there are not any monky,s there now?, I hope the weather is ok I would like to take some photo,s whilst we are there, Have any of you been there, what is it like, I am looking forward to going, I must still be a kid at heart.

Not too sure - I think a Lot have Monkey enclosures still, but the option not to go into it. I have been to A Safari Park in Woburn a fair few times in the last year or two and they have never Jumped onto the car, they tend to stick to where the food is!

Monkeys were killed during the original foot and mouth outbreak. Watch out for the Ostrich......peck your car to bu66ery!

Hi Ed,

Its quite good now... no monkeys !!

It still amazes me though how many parents allow their kids to sit on the roof of their cars as they go round .... stupidity !!

I've heard they got rid of the monkeys too. Is it safe to take the car round now then?

I've taken my car through the monkey enclosure loads of times at Knowsely safari park with no damage. It may help that the car is polished and waxed as they just seem to slide off!!

Hi all we have just got back alive and well. Had a brilliant day out, it was funny to see all the children standing with their heads out of the sun roof,s.
I am now downloading the many photos I took it will take me half an hour to down load them all. I can recomend to anyone thinking about going, it is well worth it.
