Duke Lemur Center offers new preschool program; deal offered for Go Ask Mom readers!

In my opinion, the Duke Lemur Center ranks as one of the must-see, family-friendly destinations in the Triangle.

The center is launching a new program for preschoolers ages 3 to 5. Space is limited for these one hour programs and registration is required. The cost for each program is $30 per child and $25 for the second child. There is no charge for the parent or chaperone. Each program includes a craft, game, time with the lemurs, and something to take home.

When you register, be sure to mention that you read about the center's preschool programs on Go Ask Mom and you'll get $10 off!
