Just like otters, children are natural explorers, discovering the world through play. That's why children find their "inner otter" every time they go over, under, around, and through the Otter Romp climber's Central Dam and waterfall slide. The Otter Romp is all about physical activity, taking risks, building self-awareness, learning boundaries, and interacting with others. Keep an eye out for Otto Otter napping in his den!
