Great place and something different! Tables under a big tent with beach sand all around and most importantly delicious seafood!

Delicious breakfasts and lunches! There's always a bit of a cue when it's holidays and sometimes over weekends but I promise you it's worth the wait! They also have really good healthy options. If you like french toast be sure to try it out!

The thing I love most about Monkeyland is that they all roam around freely and you see so many different species. Birds of Eden is something out of Jurassic Park, it's amazing! We offer discounts too.
