The Lemur Center gives you unprecedented access to witness the great work being done here and time to get up close with their furry residents.

This is not a zoo, it s a living, breathing, research facility for Lemur monkeys, which adds to the experience in many ways. Immediately you'll be able to tell that the guides are very passionate about the work they re doing here as they walked you around the facility and educate you on its purpose. Our guide was extremely well spoken and informative.

The Lemur monkeys were pretty cool and there were many different types. One of the most interesting were the nocturnal monkeys that the group had to go into a dark room with red light to witness.

If you re in the Durham area, make sure that you put this on your list of things to do. Keep in mind you do need reservations and they fill up quickly, so call as soon as you know you ll be in the area.

Also, this review is specifically just for the tour. They offer many different types of programs that we will be sure to check out when we're in the area again.

A great experience for the entire family.
