New Lemur House Completed at Wildlife Safari, Lemurs Return to Walk Thru Safari
Wildlife Safari has completed a brand new lemur house in the free Walk Thru Safari. The larger, heated space includes big windows and can be divided for new introductions or maternity needs. The lemurs have returned to their updated island home.
WINSTON, Ore. — Wildlife Safari has announced the completion of a brand new lemur house inside the park’s free Walk Thru Safari area.
Construction on the project began after the lemurs were temporarily relocated in October 2025, allowing demolition and rebuilding work to move forward. The new habitat was officially completed on January 20, and the lemurs have now returned to their updated island home.
Wildlife Safari says the new structure is significantly larger than the previous lemur house and was built with long term animal care and durability in mind.
“The new lemur house is significantly larger than the previous structure and was designed with durability and long term animal care in mind,” said Zoe Notenboom, Village Keeper Supervisor. “The space can be divided into two separate rooms, allowing for safe introductions of new lemurs and the ability to create a maternity area if needed.”
Notenboom also said the new house includes large windows to provide natural light and fresh air, while giving guests a chance to see the lemurs when they choose to spend time indoors. The house is fully heated for colder weather, and staff report the lemurs have adjusted well to the new environment.
Guests can once again visit the lemurs and view the updated island in the free Walk Thru Safari, located just behind the Safari Grill.
Wildlife Safari says the improvements create a more efficient and comfortable space for the animals while also enhancing the guest experience through better viewing and educational opportunities.
