The Nulkaba-based zoo has welcomed several bundles of joy over the last few months including some squirrel monkey babies, a black capuchin baby, marmoset twins and red handed tamarin twins.
Zookeeper Daisy Murphy said the babies were doing incredible well with some already off mum's back and exploring their surroundings.
"We've had four different species of monkey babies born with one only born on Friday," she said.
"The marmoset twins and red handed tamarin twins are starting to climb around.
"Their gestation periods are very different with the longest being the capuchin which is six months while the marmoset are three months."
The zoo also welcomed an unusual addition with two giraffes late last year - Sophie and Shingo. The tall pair are another addition to the facility's wide range of animals from native to international.
Hunter Valley Zoo is located at 138 Lomas Lane, Nulkaba and is open every day from 9am to 4pm except Wednesday.
