Feeding time in the Sea Otter exhibit

Our daily feeding sessions with the sea otters are more than what they seem. Our otters were all rescued as pups, and couldn't survive in the wild. These trainings help them practice their natural behaviors, and provide daily mental and physical enrichment.

Watch feedings from home!

After your visit, you can cuddle up on the couch and check out our feedings from the comfort of your home! From hand-feeding sharks to hiding food in toys for our otters, you’re never too far from a meal at the Aquarium.
