These are squirrel monkeys, and at the zoo they're free to run around in amongst the general public. They usually stay in the plants and on the ropes a few feet away from the path.
The sign at the zoo mentions that 'their keepers challenge their problem-solving skills with enrichment activities, ensuring they have to work for their food just like they would in the wild'.
