What to Expect
Experience a One-on-One Interaction with our North American River Otters, Luani & Piper!
Experience a one-on-one interaction with our North American River Otters, Luani and Piper! When you book your own private encounter you will be invited to come to the Zoo before hours and assist an otter keeper with preparing the otter exhibit for the day. You will get to create and instruct the keepers on where to place enrichment in their habitat, and then watch as the otters interacts with your creations! You will then have the exciting opportunity to throw Luani and Piper their breakfast and watch them dive, play, and swim! To commemorate the encounter, keepers will give you a very special painting made by our amazing otters! Up to two additional paintings can be purchased at an additional cost. Each participant will have the opportunity to feed and interact through protected contact during the 20-30 minute experience! Participants will then be able to enjoy the Zoo right before it opens.
