Affenberg Salem

It is such a fun! We recently visited Affenberg Salem and were absolutely delighted with the experience. It’s fascinating to observe the monkeys’ behavior up close, and the stories and explanations from the staff make the visit even more meaningful. Watching the feeding was both entertaining and educational. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for an engaging and unique outing!

The immersive animal encounters provide an unforgettable experience for children. The staff demonstrates exceptional kindness. Our interaction with Barbara, characterized by her dedication and sensitivity, was particularly noteworthy. Playgrounds are also available within the park. We highly recommend this establishment. Thank you.

Very cool experience! Perfect place for families with kids. With an option to eat on site. We appreciated free parking and that the ticket price is absolutely fair. Wouldn't mind to pay a bit for parking as well, just to keep this place running. There were quite many people but still everything went smoothly and we did not have to wait too long.

Unexpected park with storks, ducks, deers and a monkey sanctuary in a very Natural environment we much appreciated. The tour of the park takes 2 hours and you can add a high trail track for 5 euro each. You can no longer feed popcorn to the monkeys, but can feed deers at scheduled times. We had our own food but you could easily have lunch at the canteen there with outside tables. Plus, there is a lovely playground just outside the entrance where kids can play for hours. A souvenir shop also present. Accessibile to prams and wheelchair apart for the high-road. Highly recommended for a nice and relaxing sunday.

Great for a day trip! The apes are so cute and super active! They are not afraid of people so one can watch them in a very close distance. The bonus was seeing the baby ape and the hidden dears in the high grass 😍 The staff are also super friendly and shared so many fun facts about the apes. Special thanks to Damian who kindly translated everything to English!

A little expensive for what it is, but definitely fun for the kids for a couple hours. I feel like the Tree Walk should really be included in the base price. It was actually quite fun, but hard to justify paying an extra 5 Euro. Anyway, it's worth a trip if you're looking for something new in the area.

Extraordinary experience. Days with bad weather are great, since it is almost empty and you can have a chat with the staff. They can tell some interesting stories. There are no fences between you and the animals. They often cross the walkway and come really close. Great for the kids and also the parents. Entry fees look expensive at first, but the whole park finances through these fees and it requires a lot of employees to protect the animals from over-motivated tourists. Must see if you are in the area!!

I remember the park from when I was a child myself. Difference to now is that you can’t feed the monkeys anymore with popcorn. The workers are now having multiple feedings during the day where you can sit down and watch them. They also explain a bit about them. Unfortunately just in German. It was still a nice area to walk around and enjoy nature.
