Meet our tremendous troop of ring-tailed lemurs.

 

This is a magical experience from the moment you board the barge that takes you to our very own Lemur Island. Made famous the world over by the movie Madagascar, our ring-tailed lemurs are very social and inquisitive. On this exciting encounter you can get up close with our lovely lemurs and they might even take some food right out of your hand!

 

 

Our fantastic keepers will be right alongside to answer any questions you may have about this playful species.
