🎁10th Birthday GIVEAWAY🎁
Lemur Meet & Greet!

Ever wonder what the animals get up to in the evening? Last night, our lemurs were having a very loud sing-a-long...

Join us after-hours this Saturday to celebrate our 10th Birthday! Tickets available on our website and it will be a fun-filled evening with keeper chats, birthday enrichment for the animals and a face-painter!

🎉Win a Lemur Meet & Greet🎉

How to Enter:
- Book your Birthday Party Tickets by 6PM this Friday 25th to be AUTOMATICALLY entered into the draw for the experience!
- A winner will be selected at random from our ticket sales
- The experience will take place this Saturday evening, at the party at 6PM
- The winner of the Lemur Meet & Greet will be contacted Saturday morning!

GOOD LUCK!

🎥 No.. they were'nt having a sing-a-long, but when one Lemur makes this call, the rest of the troop immediately repeat it. This is an alarm call which happens when they spot something they are suspicious of and is a great natural behaviour to witness. All of the lemurs make their way to the tops of the trees to a safe place whilst they continue calling for up to 30 minutes!
