Your visit on the weekend is self-guided.  There are volunteers located

your use.

       

Mondays and Tuesdays - Closed

June, July, and August: Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays - Two (2) tours only.  First tour at 10:00 and second tour at 2:00.

Visitors must go on a guided tour during the week.  Guided walking tours last about an 1 hour and 20 minutes.  It is all walking and outdoors. Once the tour is over, you may NOT go through on your own. Please arrive a few minutes early since tours do start on time and once the tour is started the guide is unable to leave the group to gather late comers.

As you are well aware, everything that you have purchased in the past few years has increased.  These increases in prices have also affected what we purchase to care for the animals.  For example, one bag of primate food has doubled in price this past year.  T&D's is run by volunteers, which means we do not have the added expense of paying staff.  Since we do not have to pay a staff and prices were stable, we were able to keep our admission price very reasonable for many years.   As other prices were changing we were hoping to keep our admission price the same in hopes that this would increase the number of visitors or possibly encourage people to visit T&D's more than once a summer.  We were also hoping that donations would have increased or at least stayed the same.  Unfortunately there wasn't enough of a difference to off set the increases in other costs.  For the first time in over 10 years, we need to increase our admission rates.
