The North Carolina Zoo is just a little over an hour away down U.S. 64 in Ashboro, but you need only go as far away as Pittsboro to see a Bengal tiger, or Durham to see a Ringtailed lemur.
Pittsboro's Carnivore Preservation Trust is home to binturongs, caracals, jaguars, kinkajous, spotted leopards, ocelots, servals, snow leopards and tigers. The Museum of Life and Science in Durham accommodates lemurs, bears, wolves and other wild animals. And the Duke Lemur Center houses more than 300 lemurs representing 25 species. In Apex, Dinosaurs Rock! This innovative park offers exciting dinosaur exhibits and activities, as well as fossil and gem digs.
If you're looking for animals that are a little less exotic, check out the cute and cuddly farm animals at Hill Ridge Farms in Youngsville.
Book a birthday party or other special event at most of these exciting destinations, or just take your kids out to one of them for an exotic day of animal fun. The Duke Lemur Center and Carnivore Preservation Trust book tours by reservation only, so be sure to call them first before you head out there. Click on their links to learn more.
