12 men have walked, hopped or otherwise perambulated on the surface of the moon. Neil Armstrong and Edwin Aldrin were the first two, Harrison Schmitt and Eugene Cernan were the last. For each pair that walked, one man stayed in orbit - Michael Collins for Armstrong and Aldrin, Ronald Evans for Schmitt and Cernan. Ken Mattingly (who should have been on Apollo 13 - he's the character doing all the electrics tests in the film) made it on Apollo 16. So in the Apollo missions alone there are 22 men who walked/orbited (a couple did it more than once - Gene Cernan and John Young).

No animals, other than humans, have orbited or walked on the moon, unless you count the microbes in the humans' bodies.
