We are proud to be one of a select few zoological facilities in the US that offer otter swims. We get visitors from all across the country for this experience.

A top priority is to ensure our animal ambassadors are safe and secure at all times. Swims are limited so it remains a positive experience for them.

We use a state-of-the-art saltwater pool system that is temperature-controlled for both guest's and the otter's comfort level no matter the time of year.

All otter swim encounter tours include the full Barn Hill encounter tour, petting zoo, kangaroo walkabout, and a two-toed sloth experience prior to the swim.
