It was kind of boring until they came around to feed the fish. It was cool to watch that. Also they have some educational exhibits in the building.

It’s a cool place to visit. You can feed the fish here ( don’t forget to take quarter dollar with you or you can get it from reception). Seeing dam was so cool. There are few live snakes. Kids would enjoy. It is always interesting to study about wild animals.

Free- educational- family friendly- nice staff- open air- adventure day If you're looking for a free family day event to add to your itinerary, this is a good weather friendly place. The river next to the hatchery adds to the learning environment. You'll see fishermen choosing their flies wisely to trick the trout. It's just a wholesome environment.
