In order to keep our endangered primates safe and healthy, we regret that we cannot accommodate any unscheduled, walk-in visitors in any capacity. Please plan ahead and make a reservation before visiting to see the lemurs. We look forward to seeing you!

A small selection of DLC merchandise is also available online via Duke Stores.
Note that the gift shop is closed on Tuesdays, and on any day, you will not be able to see the lemurs when you visit the gift shop unless you also have a tour reservation.
