Monkey Haven is the Isle of Wight's primate rescue centre in Newport and Carisbrooke, where you can meet monkeys, owls, meerkats and reptiles, many rescued from tragic situations or badly neglected by their previous owners. You'll learn all about these fascinating creatures, including the Cotton-top Tamarins Mary, Mungo and Midge, who used to be pets before being rescued. Tickets are cheaper if bought online and include a free 7 day return pass. It's a place to relax, have fun in the fresh air with the animals. If you're staying nearby, there are 155 bookable places to stay within 5 miles on BritStays, with East Cowes beach 4.2 miles away and Smallbrook Junction station 4.8 miles away.
