Otter Pool

Great place set aside for otters in their own pool with features for them to play in a well designed replicated natural environment. Entertaining watching them swim and play right next to the viewing platform with educational information display signs. Very popular spot for families to visit.

Love the otters at slimbridge and the talk is always entertaining and top notch.

Wonderful to see up close

Where to begin… it started with a hangover and morning of regret, followed by a yearning for otters. With a quick google search, we thought we’d found the perfect place to scratch the itch that was otter spotting.After an hour and a half drive, we were within reach of the experience we so needed. With joy, we jumped out of the car and walked up the ramp with a new found spring in our step.At the ticket desk, we were greeted by a delightful employee, George. Not only was George extremely friendly, but very professional. We asked for “two tickets please George”. George obliged and asked if we’d add gift aid. Of course, for the otters, anything. It was at this point our world came crashing down….We proceeded to ask George, “Where abouts are the otters?” Never have we seen a man’s expression change so quickly as he knew the bombshell he was about to bestow upon us. Neither of us were prepared for what came next. George, with his sorry hand on the desk, replied “It died last month!”Our world was rocked. George went on to explain that there were 5 otters but 4 had sadly passed last year, and the final remaining otter was taken from us last month *sad face*. How is one supposed to cope with such news?Feeling like absolute guttersnipes now, we really did try and enjoy our time. However, the wetlands were bleak and we feared we were falling back into a pit of hungover depression.We have given this 3 stars based on the logic that an otter sanctuary with no otters should be 0 stars, but George carried the experience and is rewarded 5 stars, averaging to a mediocre 3.Considering a trip back just for George.

Otters very beautiful and seemed very tame. They loved the attention

Florence and her daughters Mini and Ha Ha great fun to watch!

Lovely otters. Swimming around. Pretty little otters.

Not many otters. But nice surrounding.

Two new small clawed Asian otters here now.

How can you not give otters 5 star! Playful entertaining otters in a superb enclosure so that they can easily be seen
