Meet and greet our friendly otters and feeding experience.
The Otter Experience is an exciting 30-minute adventure that offers a rare opportunity to interact with these playful and intelligent creatures. During this experience, you’ll participate in the husbandry training of the park’s resident otters. Under the guidance of an experienced keeper, you’ll help train the otters using positive reinforcement techniques, which are essential for their care and well-being.
As you engage with the otters, you’ll witness their remarkable agility and intelligence up close. The training session not only strengthens the bond between the otters and their keepers but also provides valuable mental and physical stimulation for these curious animals.
After the training, you’ll have the chance to feed the otters, watching as they eagerly interact with their environment. Throughout the experience, the knowledgeable staff will share fascinating insights into otter behaviour, their social dynamics, and the conservation efforts needed to protect them in the wild.
The Otter Experience is perfect for anyone interested in animal behavior and care, offering a unique glimpse into the lives of these charming and energetic animals.

I love Otters and having received this experience as a birthday gift I was delighted. I was welcomed and helped to make this a truly wonderful day. One on one with the keeper and some really hungry, noisy but very cute creatures. Fantastic Thank you

On Friday 19th September, my son and I met the wonderful Liz for the Otter experience, this was a truly amazing surprise for my 80th birthday. Liz is so knowledgeable which made the experience so nice, and the 6 adorable Asian short clawed otters were the stars of the day, Thank you Otters and Liz for making my day so special.

We loved the otter experience. Liz, our guide, was warm and informative. The otters were adorable, and getting them to do tricks was great fun.
