💬 What Parents Say

  • 💡Visit year-round to see otters swimming both above and below the waterline - the underwater viewing provides a unique perspective of their behavior that's not always visible from standard vantage points
  • 💡The River Otter Habitat is located at the front of Zoo Knoxville, making it an ideal first stop when entering the zoo to observe otters when they're most active early in your visit
  • 💡Note that Zoo Knoxville closes early at 2pm on Saturday, April 25th for the Zoofari Gala event, so plan your visit accordingly if you're coming that day
