Lemurs Experience
We visited this lovely park 28th July 2017 . A wet and windy summers day. It is fairly small but very friendly and lots to see. We had booked a ringtailed lemur experience. An hour of absolute joy. We cut up food and placed them in various containers to intrigue the lemurs. Within minutes of going in their area with keeper Vicky they were jumping on our shoulders ,sitting on our knees and letting us stroke them. They took food out of our hands and chased around us. Beautifully soft fur and little cold feet and hands, they seemed to find me good to poo on and on 2 occasions I managed to move my legs so it hit the floor. They got me in the end sitting on my shoulder but even that was enjoyable. Well worth a visit. Talks were excellent and the bird display and John very entertaining .
