On April 9, 2013, the Primate Sanctuary was kind enough to allow the vets to come for a free, private tour. Some of our vets don't get out often anymore & all shared it was an outstanding day. Vets who we don't see smile very often- were smiling that day & having fun. The staff talked about responsible pet ownership,... More

We really enjoyed our visit to the Suncoast Primate Sanctuary. If we lived closer to this facility I would definitely be one of their volunteers.

As a member of PETA for many years both my 9 year old daughter and I were shocked and very much saddened by the conditions that the animals are kept in. Before going I was considering volunteering with them because I could see on line they were in need of them. However after seeing the VERY small size of the... More

Got a deal through groupon. Was glad to pay to help the animals. Kids really enjoyed feeding the monkeys and holding the alligator. Wish we had more peanuts to feed. Defiantly recommend the visit. Even if its just to support the animals. By the way, watch out for the monkeys throwing poop. Lol. The one in the middle back area... More

I used a groupon ticket for my visit. I was there in 1995 and the place has been completly redone.

They traded out alligators... More

My sister and I took our kids to this place because we got a Groupon and we are so glad we made the trip down from her home in Gainesville. When you go in, you get to be much closer to the primates than in normal zoos. The people who work there are obviously very passionate and can tell you... More

This is a treasure! They rescue monkey's and other small animals from abuse and experiment and are funded by donation. They are doing an amazing job and I was told got enough money to do some expansion. There are so many monkey's and they are so funny to watch. You can buy some food for a $1 and you'll want... More

A great place for a couple of hours of "zoo time" with your kids. The sanctuary is hoping to expand and really needs to do so. It is currently on about a 5 acre tract but could use another 20 acres. It is well maintained and the animals are entertaining, to say the least. Good, clean fun with great atmosphere.
