Duke Lemur Center, Durham

I visited several years ago during World Lemur Day. It was enjoyable and informative. The staff were accessible and eager to share their knowledge.

We just finished the Lemurs Live Twilight Tour and found it very enjoyable! This is the guided tour showcasing numerous types lemurs in enclosures. Our guides were extremely knowledgeable and entertaining making the tour interesting for the wide range of ages of guests in our group. The enclosures were very well kept and you could tell that the staff at the Lemur Center truly loved the lemurs. I would definitely recommend this as a great family outing.

Took the Little Lemurs tour and was very disappointed. I went with a friend and took my 3yr old and 4yr old on the Little Lemurs tour. For about 20min or so of the 45 min tour, we sat inside the gift shop and watched a little video on lemurs. We then went outside and briefly looked at all the enclosures. My kids didn't care much about it, esp since it wasn't the easiest viewing for them looking at the lemurs from a distance in a cage. When one adult on the tour asked the guide a question, the adult was rebuked and told only toddlers can ask questions. I couldn't believe it how rude the guide was. I would not pay to go back here.

You feel less like you're visiting a zoo (though the gift shop does its best to fool you) and more like you're getting a behind-the-scenes tour of an excellent conservation facility -- which you are. Wonderful staff, adorable animals, small tours. Book early!

My family and I certainly enjoyed seeing up close and learning about these cute, unique animals that only live in Madagascar besides this special facility at Duke. Great efforts have been made to create a natural environment for them. Staff members are very knowledgeable and friendly. Great family outing to reserve. !
