Little Monkeys is now open to the general public. Please note that pre-booking online is mandatory. We are unable to take payment at the venue and entry will only be allowed if you have pre-booked online in advance of the session. After successfully trialling our procedures with park guests we are now extending the sessions to the general public.
We are continuing to limit the number of children that are allowed in each session and pre-booking is required. Our massive, multi-tiered adventure play structure includes loads of attractions to keep every child fully occupied. They can scale through the heights. Our purpose built multi-purpose area means your children can develop their skills, get their heart pumping and learn to be part of a team playing football or basketball.

Over 1m has been spent by Pinelog Group to create the most exciting play centre for miles around, where children can let off steam either with their parents or at friends' birthday parties. The location at Landal Darwin Forest is convenient and appealing, with ample car parking, and the 7,000 sq ft play centre building, which Pinelog has designed and built, is almost unique in being created solely for a play centre.
From M1 Leave at junction 29, taking the A617 to Chesterfield, then follow signs for the A632 towards Matlock. Continue along the A632 for about 3 miles before taking a right-hand turn onto the B5057 towards Darley Dale (Darwin Forest is signed here too). After a further 1 mile you will see a sign for the Derbyshire Dales, Darwin Forest is found on the right-hand side 100 yards further on.

Great place, with excellent facilities and friendly, caring staff. The only constructive feedback I would provide is to have better policing for small child area. Appreciate you cannot check each child’s age individually, however this afternoon it was full of children aged up to 10, trampling over little ones. Of course shame on parents for letting this go unmonitored.
We’ll be back for sure

This is a great indoor play area for babies to around 10 year olds. They base the play on height. £3.50 per child (if you are staying in the cabins) for two hours of play. If you stay longer they can charge an additional £2.50. You need to bring socks to play. There's a cafe and snacks which were reasonable and tasty and toilets with easy access. This is a great rainy-day activity!

Great place to take your young ones. It has a good sized play area suitable for kids aged 1 up to year 6 at school. There is plenty of seating a few comfortable settees. We paid£9 for 2children. The food is good and well presented for 3adults and 2 children lunch was less than £30. Highly recommended.

What a fantastic place to take the kids for a day out and if you live further away you can always come and stay in one of the wonderful lodges. I didn't know this place was here and have been very impressed with what I have seen today. There was a birthday party happening for the little people and it was just great. I highly recommend it for a visit.

Not bad. 2 hour limit otherwise they have the right to charge more. Not a massive place and could become crowded if there was a birthday party on. Most kids drinks are around £1, or £1.50 for a jug of squash. Didn't try the food and had no jacket potatoes from opening on the day. Breakfast, toast and sandwiches available.
