Meet, greet, and treat our Malayan Sun Bear pair, Arataki and Otay, during this memorable 15-minute encounter. Guided by an experienced keeper, you’ll hear the remarkable love story of these beautiful bears and learn about their incredible journey to the National Zoo. Discover how Australian conservationist Mary Hutton helped save more than 1,000 bears—including Arataki and Otay—while you enjoy an up-close experience feeding one of the most protective members of the bear family. Despite their strength and presence, they’ll take their treats from you with surprising gentleness.
This unique encounter blends education, conservation, and unforgettable animal interaction. Please note that zoo entry is not included and must be purchased separately. Children aged 6 and above are welcome, with participants under 16 requiring a paying adult. Bring comfortable walking shoes and a sense of adventure as you get to know these extraordinary bears and the inspiring story behind their survival.
