Tours

Encounter Tours & Otter Swim Encounters are our main activities and the best way to experience our park and animal ambassadors. They are informative guided tours with plenty of up-close and hands-on interactions with our furry friends. Encounter Tours are approximately 90 minutes.

​

Add-on Encounters are able to be purchased to add more memorable interactions to your Encounter Tour. Hand feed a Sloth, Capybara, or Aardvark or even a close-up photo op with a Spectacled Owl! Add-on Encounters are subject to animal ambassador availability to be determined by our animal care staff each day.

​

Otter Swim Encounters include the full Encounter Tour + Add-on Encounters + 45 minute Otter Swim! It's our most comprehensive way to explore the park and lasts about 3 hours. Encounter Tours & Otter Swim groups start at the same tour & time, perfect for friends to stay together who may want different levels of tours. Kid-Friendly Otter Swims are great for our guests ages 10+ and include the same experience as our regular Otter Swim.
