This was a great field trip! They were really great to take us around and go through the process of growth of fishes and hatcheries.

It can be a little difficult to find and is a longer drive for some people, but we felt it was worth our time. I took my children when they were really young (2 and 4) and I plan to take them again now that they are older.
