Monkey World
A conservation centre that rescues primates, home to Europe's largest group of chimpanzees. It is well suited to families with children.
Monkey World was founded in 1987 to rescue primates that have been illegally traded or abused. The park is home to more than 250 animals of about 20 species, including chimpanzees, orangutans, gibbons and marmosets. The chimpanzees roam freely in a large outdoor enclosure. Keepers give talks throughout the day, and there is a large children's play area. Admission is about £25. It is about 8 km from Lulworth and can be combined with a visit to the Tank Museum on the same day.
