Key Information
Opened in June 2012, Freshwater Oasis enables Discovery Cove guests to view otters and marmosets at close quarters. The area is themed around a rainforest, with visitors able to wade or float in a number of "tropical" streams and pools. Swim side by side with playful Asian small-clawed otters, with viewing above and below the water. Guests should bring their mask and snorkel to fully appreciate the environment the otters share with colorful fish. No glass separates swimmers in the area from marmosets that are housed on its island. Marmosets spend much of their time in the trees and visitors can see them exploring the treetops and bamboo bridges of their island playground. There are scheduled enrichment sessions for the otters and marmosets several times during the day and these are the best times to see the animals
