    Great little aquarium of local fish and turtles honestly. Trout runway out back to feed the fish. Hatchery building closed due to covid but they had the gift shop open to buy fish food. Also had quarter machine out by trout for feeding them.

    After a 30+ year hiatus....we stopped by for a visit. Kids loved the aquarium. Unfortunately for us... the hatchery was empty. Just hit it at the wrong time of the year...

    Amazing. Love the fish. The Walk to the hatchery was fun. Glad we came during paddlefish tagging season. It was fun for the kids to see. The trout feeding really help wrap up the tour. 💯

    Nice calm environment to escape the heat with family friendly educational information on area aquatic life. Clean, free will donation. Dont forget to fish hatchery ponds in the back where you can feed the fish for a little pocket change.

    Nice place to see wildlife in its natural state. My kid had a good time seeing everything. Perfect day to be out looking at the water and animals. Only bad thing is the dead fish carcasses all over the place.
