What an incredible group tour we had today. Bought tickets on a whim and I'm so glad I did. There were so many visitors, we broke into 3 groups. Thanks for doing that - and not having 43 people all trying to crowd together. Seeing and learning about the animals was cool. Learning about the mission of Chase, and what they're doing to help was priceless. I had no idea that over 28,000 lemurs were illegally removed from forests in Madagascar between 2010-2020, many ending up in the pet trade, even though it's illegal! I didn't know that up to one-third of wild-caught lemurs die prematurely in captivity! I wasn't aware that lemurs are critically endangered, to be honest. I do now. All staff that we met were passionate about the work they're doing. The animals are well cared for. The enclosures are large and as close to natural habitat as possible. The round-up program is fantastic. read more

LOVE! LOVE! LOVE! LOVE! LOVE! LOVE! Love this place!!! It is so much fun to watch sloths here, lemurs, monkeys, anteaters. They are soooooo friendly!!!!! The animals and the volunteers are all friendly. I truly DO LOVE Chase Sanctuary. Lovely how they help all the animals, & there were babies this time! They've also fixed up an Air b&b type place where you can watch sloths & lemurs all night & day. Their gift shop is nice, & yoga was SPLENDID! Pet the sweet deers & other creatures. Great place to walk around & be happy, out in nature. Relaxing & sweet. I've also participated in their animal experience where you can pet an aardvark like animal, my favorite, & lemurs, who are also extremely affectionate. So nice to get the tour where you can feed and pet them. The sloths are incredible. Life is GOOD! read more

My friend and I booked the private group tour on Friday at 11:00 a.m., and the experience exceeded our expectations. One of the tour guides, Brody, was funny, welcoming, and incredibly engaging...his dad jokes were a fun bonus. Since several groups were there for private tours, each group was assigned their own guide. Our guide was Jonah, and he was absolutely fantastic. He was extremely knowledgeable and made sure we had plenty of time to interact with the animals without ever feeling rushed. Every animal we encountered appeared very well cared for, and the entire facility was spotless, clean, well maintained, and completely free of any unpleasant odors. We met several lemurs, anteaters, a deer, Tom the turkey, a really cool bird named Rex, and many other animals along the way. This was truly a top notch, hands on experience from start to finish. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for an interactive and memorable animal encounter read more

You must experience Chase Sanctuary! Our event was "Painting with the Lemurs". We got to interact with red-ruffed lemurs but they also have ringed tailed lemurs as well. The staff were incredibly knowledgeable and friendly. Our artist guide, Devin, was very entertaining and enthusiastic. She was quite "punny". The cost is high-$89 but knowing that your money goes to giving these primates and other animals on site a safe haven, makes it very worth it. They also send donations to other sanctuaries in other countries. Painting was fun. We all had our creative juices flowing and it was especially exciting when the lemurs visited your paintings. Check out Chase Sanctuary soon! read more

We attended the painting with primates in Webster. This place is the hidden gem of the Orlando area. When we first arrived we were greeted by an amazing employee who helped us check in, and directed us to our parking spot. After parking we were all relocated to a barn where we sat and watched a brief introduction video about the Sanctuary and its importance. We also got to meet some talking birds. After the bird presentation we all headed to the back of the Sanctuary, in a large field with tables and canvas's where we got to meet the most amazing people and animals before we started to create our masterpieces. The painting event was so much more than just painting. It was an experience. You got to explore your creativity while being encapsulated with the warmth of animals who clearly are happy and treated well. If you have the opportunity you should attend the yoga, tours, or the painting. This is one experience any animal lover will enjoy. Chase is a non profit who relies on volunteers, donations, and lots of love, and because of this I wound up inquiring about joining the volunteer staff at the end. The volunteer coordinator, Amber, wound up being on the premises. She was very helpful and had all the information I needed. I immediately went home and applied on their website. Within 48 hours after the event I was officially on the volunteer roster, and planning my schedule to get out there to help the amazing staff and animals on their mission. Overall, this experience was probably one of the most memorable in my life. It captured two of my passions in one afternoon, and had me wanting to come back again and again. Highly recommend following their social media because they have so many wonderful events that I only wish I could attend. read more

I paid $300 to paint with the lemurs. In a very hot barn in Florida on July 4th. The first 29 minutes were used to promote other events they offer. Then we go a small pallet of 6 colors and canvas. They placed fruit on the table but they had ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with any of the 15 people In this barn. They plays in the rafters, a plastic tarp on the ceiling used for repairs. read more

My friend and I did a Lemur Yoga class at Chase Sanctuary, which I got as a gift from my family for a celebration. The sanctuary is so nice! I couldn't believe how many different animals they actually have living at the sanctuary. All of the profits from yoga and other activities go back to the care of the animals, so it's a great value for the class. We really enjoyed the gentle yoga class and spending time with the animals, and will definitely be back again for another class! Each class, they let a different colony of lemurs join, so next time we visit, hopefully we can make some new lemur friends! Reading on their website, I learned that the sanctuary is almost 100% volunteer-based, with 75 volunteers and only 4 staff members on payroll (operations manager, two animal keepers, and a vet tech). 80% of their funding comes from experiences like lemur yoga and educational experiences offered at the sanctuary. read more
