Wildnispark Zürich Sihlwald - At the visitor centre in Sihlwald, there are two otter enclosures and an aquarium.

Several islands and a small, babbling stream enhance the otter enclosures. There, the playful otters can eat and hide.

The aquarium in the basement of the otter enclosure is home to native fish and native crayfish.
