TV presenter and comedienne Ruby Wax unveiled a £250,000 visitor attraction at the Cotswold Wildlife Park.
Ms Wax opened the interactive walk-through experience, Madagascar, which has taken a year to plan and construct.
People from across Oxfordshire flocked to the park, in Burford, to see Ms Wax open the attraction.
Cotswold Wildlife spokesman Debbie Ryan said: "Ruby was magnificent and the lemurs wouldn't leave her side. One of nature's most interesting species met one of our most colourful stars and it made our Madagascar opening a day we will never forget."
Visitors got to see almost 30 Madagascan animals including black and white ruffed lemurs, ring tailed lemurs, collared lemurs, herons, Madagascan Teal and Purple Gallinule.
They were able to enter and follow the path through the enclosure to view the species at close range.
While Ms Wax was there she named two of the ring tailed lemurs, which were only two weeks old - one Ruby and one Max, after her son.
