ZooAmerica and Ocean Connections Offer Water Friends Tour This Fall

ZooAmerica North American Wildlife Park is bringing back its Water Friends Tour in partnership with Ocean Connections this fall. The interactive program features two up-close and personal experiences with the river otters at ZooAmerica and the seals or sea lions at the Aquatheatre inside Hersheypark amusement park.

The Water Friends Tour is offered on Saturdays and Sundays from 10-11 a.m. through Dec. 29. 

The program begins at ZooAmerica, where participants will enjoy an educational session and feeding opportunity with the river otters.

Participants will then walk across the bridge into Hersheypark for a behind-the-scenes tour of the seal and sea lion habitat and a training session in the Aquatheatre. Plus, guests get to take a picture with their flippered friends!  

After the program, participants will return to ZooAmerica and can enjoy the Zoo at their leisure as part of the experience. Please note that the Water Friends Tour does not include admission to Hersheypark Halloween. Hersheypark Halloween is open from 12-10 p.m. on Saturdays and 12-9 p.m. on Sundays through Nov. 3. Separate tickets can be purchased here.
