Enjoy an otterly fun fall celebration at the Saint Louis Zoo! During the two weekends of Ottertoberfest presented by T-Mobile, the Zoo will be transformed into an Oktoberfest for the whole family with otter-related games and activities for kids, keeper chats and enrichment, live traditional music and biergartens. The event runs Saturdays and Sundays, Oct. 4-12, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

For the grownups, beer, bratwursts, German potato salad and other specialty concessions will be available at various biergartens. Hear live “oompah” music from noon to 3 p.m. in Schnuck Family Plaza.
Keeper chats and enrichment will take place near our two groups of river otters at the Emerson Children’s Zoo and the Chain of Lakes at Historic Hill.
