We used a groupon but after visiting could not help but donate more to support their efforts...we had a wonderful time and enjoyed seeing all the animals and talking with the volunteers I wished I lived nearer I would love to volunteer here.

If you are expecting something big and over the top this is not it. The place is small and understaffed with a small budget. They do well with what they have. The animals look well cared for and the place is clean. Pongo is an amazing animal we could have sat with him all days. It is sad to see...

Lots of happy animals. They all love their caregiver, June! They follow her around as she is feeding and cleaning them.

I do wish that I could have found this place to volunteer my time. Sadly, I'm moving back to California. The precious faces that just have no place to go. Owners that bought them and can no longer care for them, so they dump them. The place is run by volunteers and donations. It's a wonderful place for the little...

Our four-year-old grandson had a ball. The sanctuary is informative and very interesting. We intend to take our 12-year-old grandson in June 12 13.

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,...

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...

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...
