What is the real deal on the Monkey ...

the Monkey Forest?

We are going in a few weeks with a 4 and 5 year old. Would you take kids that age to the monkey forest?

We were there about 10 years ago and it was OK, but I now read good and bad reports about it. We want the kids to get an idea of "Asia" and how different it is to Australia, but would we be better to just go to Uluwatu and see them there, or even leave the monkey experience at the zoo?

I don't really want to have a kid bitten, lose things, or have them scared of monkeys for good.
