Come enjoy a fishy lunch with our cheeky Asian small-clawed otters, in our brand new otter encounter!
Our four girls have the pleasure of enjoying five meals a day, with one of them being fed out by you!
Come behind the scenes into the otter exhibit, where you will tong feed the girls from the safety of our purpose-built encounter platform. You will have the opportunity to spend time feeding our otter girls and learning from our knowledgeable carnivore keeper.

Once the food is all gone, if the girls are still keen you may be lucky enough to hold hands and feel the softness of an otter’s paw as the girls put their hands through the holes built into the encounter platform.
