At Paws & Claws Animal Encounters, we are the home of Ohio's first hands-on otter encounters and also the first USDA licensed facility in the country to offer Painting with Otters!

Located at the Gateway to Hocking Hills - Bremen, Ohio, we're an hour's trip from Columbus, 30 minutes from Old Man’s Cave, and 20 minutes from downtown Lancaster. 

When you book an encounter with us you'll also be able to tour part of our farm and meet some of our other incredible animals. This can include seeing our camels, yaks, mini cows, capybaras, red foxes, porcupines, and more! 

We are open by appointment only and are not open to the general public. When you book an encounter you will receive our address along with specific directions as sometimes GPS systems forget we're here!

Be sure and check out our other social media links to see what we're up to.
