💬 What Visitors Say

🕐Visit during spring weekends in the morning for minimal wait times - visitors typically wait only a few minutes to enter the walk-through lemur enclosure
💡Arrive early enough to catch the keeper educational talks before entering the primate house, which significantly enhance the experience and provide valuable context about the lemurs
💬The enclosure operates on a small-group rotation system with only a handful of visitors allowed at a time, so guides never rush you through - take your time observing the ring-tailed and mongoose lemurs' behavior
💡Get as close as a few inches to the lemurs from rock ledges and viewing areas - the moat design allows for intimate observation without barriers, making it ideal for families and wildlife photographers
