What visitors say
We visited on a spring weekend morning. We had to wait just a few minutes to enter. Only a handful of visitors can be in the enclosure with the lemurs at a time. One of the ring-tailed lemurs came up and watched us from a rock ledge…
It's a fun walk through, and talking to the keepers before entering the primate house adds to the experience.
This building is no longer there. Lemurs are in other buildings.
