Asian Short-Clawed Otter

Tucked into the cliffs above the stunning St Andrews Bay, our family-run aquarium is a splash-tastic adventure just waiting to happen! Step up to the glass and watch our River Rascals in action. Known for their boundless energy and cheeky personalities, our otters love to zip through the water, juggle their favorite pebbles, and put on a show for visitors. Their playful antics perfectly capture the sense of fun and discovery you’ll experience here on the Fife coast.

Care & Conservation

Love the Planet, Love the Animals

We focus on creating excitement around animal encounters while also highlighting the care, conservation, and respect behind every experience. These charismatic otters are vulnerable in the wild due to habitat loss and pollution in their native wetlands. By meeting them face-to-face, we hope to inspire our visitors to help protect our planet's beautiful, delicate waterways.
