Kansas Waters Exhibit

The Kansas Waters Exhibit imitates the natural  ecosystem of a river.  Visitors stroll down a dry "arroyo-like" riverbed and can view playful river otters frolicking behind underwater viewing windows on one side, and learn about the importance and complexity of water in Southwest Kansas thru interactive graphics on the other. 

The west entrance to the otter exhibit will immerse you in the feeling that you are walking down a riverbed in Kansas.

With the glass-front exhibit zoo visitors ~ especially children ~ can interact with the otters.

The otters love swimming in their new exhibit.

                           

The Kansas Waters Exhibit was funded in part by a Wildlife Conservation and Restoration Program Grant from the United States Fish and Wildlife Service, Department of the Interior and the Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks.  We would also like to thank the Playa Lakes Joint Venture for helping to fund the interactive graphics.
