About this place
Nick's Barnyard Buddies offers guided, hands-on animal encounters near Lake of the Ozarks in Linn Creek, Missouri, where small groups get up close with playful Asian small-clawed otters, gentle capybaras, and curious camels, plus a barnyard tour to meet other resident animals. The Otter Encounter runs about an hour, with 30 minutes of direct interaction followed by a barnyard tour, priced at $75 per person for groups of 2 to 6, and is open to ages 5 and up with one paying adult required. There's also an Otter Swim Experience that lets kids and adults get in the water with the otters. The facility is USDA-licensed and insured, with staff working daily to keep animals well cared for and comfortable. Closed-toe shoes are required and visitors should be ready to get a little dirty, and the site also offers free printable animal coloring pages for at-home fun.
