This summer, join the DLC for our special limited-time Lemurs Live Twilight Tours! During the steamy summer months, our lemurs take it easy during the heat of the day; but, as the sun sets and the temperatures cool, they become increasingly lively and their energy levels tend to peak.
On these guided public tours, you'll enjoy the spectacle of our prosimian friends foraging for food, performing their evening vocalizations and, finally, preparing to hunker down for the night. Our dedicated staff and volunteers love spending their evenings introducing visitors to the amazing lemurs of the DLC, so make sure you keep this in mind for your summer plans!
Like our standard Lemurs Live tour, this is a broad introduction to the DLC, its mission, and its residents. The experience is perfect for a wide audience. As on all of our tours, for your safety and for the well-being of our lemurs, there will not be any opportunities to touch the animals at any time.

None. This tour is fun for all ages! If your party includes many children under the age of 8, you might also consider a Little Lemurs tour (see below).
