Welp, add swimming with otters to the list of things I (and you) need to check out in the very near future!

The Barn Hill Preserve in Ethel, Louisiana, allows guests over the age of 16 to meet these cuddly friends, after they sign a waiver, of course! The experience at the animal preserve also includes a tour of the grounds which includes kangaroos and sloths!

The number of otter swims is limited so the experience can still be fun for the little creatures. Take a look at these photos and tell me you don’t want to get in on this action.
