Things to know before booking
I have kids who are under 8 years old, can they feed the otter?
Due to safety guidelines, we are unable to offer this program for guests under 8 years old.
Do my kids need to be 4ft tall?
The window that we throw from is roughly the height of a child's torso. This height requirement is to ensure your child can see & throw without a stepstool or additional assistance.
Can I bring my kids friends? Or other relatives?
If someone in your group is NOT from your household, we must receive written or verbal consent from their parent or guardian to participate in the program. Otherwise, please have additional guests who want to come and watch purchase their own ticket to enter the museum.
Can I book this as part of my kids birthday party?
Certainly! Please check our availability first before booking your party and otter feeding separately. Note the otter feeding would occur at 4:30pm regardless of your party time.

Our river otter feeding is a 20-minute experience where you’ll be escorted to a feeding platform to hand toss fish and/or vegetables into Gunner's enclosure while a keeper talks and answers your questions. It's currently the only private otter feeding in the Bay Area!
Gunner eats 5oz-9oz per meal. One person may feed the river otter at a time, but multiple can switch before Gunner is given his full meal.
Otter Feedings take place Tuesdays through Sundays at 4:30 PM. To ensure space availability, we recommend making a reservation at least two weeks in advance. Check for availability and book your party online.
Birthday parties can only be reserved up to two months in advance. CuriOdyssey will not book or hold dates more than two months in advance.
Birthday parties must be paid in full at the time of reservation. Please check out our birthdays website to read up on our policies and FAQ's.
