My kids love seeing all the fish and feeding them. There are some interesting exhibits inside and a cute giant fish play area. Good free fun

Class field trip. Very interesting information. Staff were knowledgeable, patient, friendly and answered all the children's questions. Kids got to feed the baby trout and watch the salmon on the salmon ladder and see how the eggs are taken out of the salmon and fertilized. Overall very nice and educational.

This is an interesting place to visit, especially during the salmon run. Watching the fish jump up the ladders at the hatchery is fascinating--I found myself rooting for them to make it.

Totally fun with kids. Go during spawning season and watch them come up the ladders. Huge fish. There is a window inside where you can see them 'process' the fish. This part may not be ok for sensitive kids.
