Frequently Asked Questions
Can I touch the otters?
For the safety of both guests and otters, direct touching is typically not allowed. However, you'll get incredibly close during feeding time and have amazing photo opportunities!
Will I get wet?
You might get a little splashed during the encounter! Otters love to play in water, and their enthusiasm can be contagious. We recommend wearing clothes you don't mind getting slightly damp.
