Otter Celebration



Come and join us on Saturday, March 16, 2013 for our second annual Otter Celebration!  Our zoo includes five beautiful North American river otters.  Otters are traditionally born in March, and our otter triplets were born March 2, 2011.  They are now fully grown, and are doing very well at the Lowcountry Zoo.

We participate in a Species Survival Plan for North American River Otters, and we recently sent one of our triplets to another AZA accredited zoo.  He will miss his birthday celebration this year, but now he has an opportunity to make some cute babies of his own!


Our Otter Celebration is free with garden admission.  Brookgreen Gardens opens at 9:30 AM, and events at the zoo start at 10:00 AM.  We will have a kid's craft area, storytimes, tours of the zoo, and lots of staff and volunteers on hand.  Our two main events will be at the otter exhibits at 10:30 AM and 2:00 PM.  Because we manage two groups of otters, both events will have the same presents, cakes, and frozen treats for the otters.  Pick whichever time is more convenient!
