Duke Lemur Center

"The Duke Lemur Center in Durham, North Carolina, is an incredible place to explore. The lemurs are captivating, and the staff's dedication to their care and conservation is evident. A must-visit for anyone interested in wildlife and education!"

"Very interesting to hear about non-invasive research being done in connection with lemurs to help the lemurs and humanity! Guides were very knowledgeable and helpful. A nice excursion, even though it was really hot!"

"A must see if you're in Durham (reservations required). We learned a lot about lemurs from our knowledgeable guide, and got to see several outdoors and heard them howl at each other. There is also an indoor room for the nocturnal Aye-Aye that looks bat-like. The gift store is also worth a visit - you can buy a painting made by a lemur!"

"What a great experience! While the center itself may be a bit awkward to find, my GPS was accurate. If you drive yourself, there is ample parking. Make sure you come property dressed for the weather. If it's raining, you might get wet and muddy. The tours were prompt and informative. Everyone that worked there was friendly and knowledgeable. They have a plethora of lemurs which is a true treat in North America! A definite must-stop if you're in the area."

"What a fantastic facility with great access to the lemurs! During the summer they have open house weekends when the lemurs are viewable in enclosures and also indoors in the nocturnal house where those lemurs who are active at night are on a flipped schedule from our own. During the summer they don't offer first this where you can see the lemurs in the forest outside of the enclosures which I'm sure is fantastic."
