Sunrise at the
Sanctuary Florida
Chase Sanctuary's Sunrise experience is a guided walk through the open-air lemur enclosure at first light -- meeting lemurs, tortoises, muntjac deer, and wallabies while the sanctuary is still quiet.
A Calm Florida Morning With Wildlife
Chase Sanctuary's Sunrise experience is a guided walk through the open-air lemur enclosure at first light -- meeting lemurs, tortoises, muntjac deer, and wallabies while the sanctuary is still quiet. Chase Sanctuary is in Webster, FL -- within an hour of Tampa, Orlando, Ocala, Kissimmee, and most of Central Florida.
The unhurried morning setting gives guests time to observe natural animal behavior and learn how the sanctuary cares for each resident. A guide leads the experience, shares details about the animals' personalities and daily routines, and answers questions along the way. The pace is calm and mindful, creating the feel of a wellness experience without turning the encounter into a structured exercise class.
Because the walk begins early, visitors can enjoy the open-air enclosure before continuing with the rest of their day. Guests may choose to pair Sunrise with another sanctuary experience, explore more of Central Florida, or plan an overnight at Chase Sanctuary. Every visit remains centered on respectful observation, responsible interaction, and the comfort of the animals.
