Otter Exhibit

Our outstanding otter exhibit opened in 2007 and has two pools, a waterfall and a slide, as well as outdoor land areas for the animals to roam, play and hide. Our zookeepers host otter enrichment sessions every day at 1:30 PM where the otters are given their afternoon enrichment in the exhibit pools for a great viewing experience.
