The zoo is having a party!
Please join us for our third annual Otter Celebration on Saturday, March1, 2014. All parts of the event are free with garden admission. You will receive an invitation and schedule at the Admissions Plaza, but you do not need the invitation to participate. We just want to officially invite you to the party!

1:00 PM - Mother Nature Cafe Tour meets at Plantation Barn
This normal tour gives great information about all our animals and feeds some of them.
2:30 PM - Meet the Animals at the Lowcountry Center Program Shed
This normal program offers an up-close look at some of South Carolina's other great animals.
Otters love the rain (even when we do not), so our event is rain or shine. The craft area will move to the Storytime shelter if needed. Please join us as we celebrate otters and our very important wetlands.
