durango fish hatchery and wildlife museum印象

Neat lace great views of the river. Interesting raceways and the different sizes of the fish. Museum is closed for the season September 15 but you still see the Displays outside.

Took our family and grand baby up to visit. Our sons have always loved this place, know our grand kids will too!

Enjoyed this more than expected! Bring quarters to feed the fish. Beautiful Animas River next to hatchery and walking trails. Free entry and lots of fun for our family. Took beautiful pictures by the river and saw a couple of mule deer in the natural preserve. Informative and enjoyable!

Be aware of what this is and isn't. This is a working State of Colorado fish hatchery that has a small wildlife museum. It is much more a working biological facility than a tourist attraction. But tourists are very welcome, the staff is very friendly and can answer any question, and it's a fun place to spend a half hour.This is the oldest working hatchery/fish rearing facility in Colorado - more than 100 years old. It's interesting to walk along the raceways and see the fish of different sizes (all rainbows at the moment) swimming against the artificial current. They are quite beautiful.Bring along quarters and buy fish pellets to feed the fish. The kids particularly will love this. You will create a short-lived feeding frenzy. Don't miss the separate pool for the big guys. These are a variety of very large, older fish. They must weigh 20 times the weight of the small fry.The hatchery is on your right headed out of downtown on 550 toward Silverton, just after you cross the bridge over the Animas River (which forms a backdrop to hatchery).

I gave 4 stars because the museum was closed both days we stopped by, on Sunday and Monday. It was still fun, bring your quarters to feed the fish!

We went on a day when the Wildlife Museum was closed so we just went to the fish hatchery and saw all the fish and my son had a great time feeding them!

I took my son and my friend's son to the hatchery. It was cold and the museum was closed which we were very disapointed aboWut.

Our children loved seeing and feeding the fish. There are some monster sized trout in one of the areas and it is fun to watch the fish. Museum is small but the people there were very friendly.

This is another of our "must stops" in Durango because the kids love to feed the fish. On this trip we decided due to time to not go into the museum but we have enjoyed it many times in the past. I don't know why I always forget a cup or plastic bag (or something) to keep the fish food in so we don't have to use our hands and drop it all over (plus the smell), but we always forget. So, bring something to keep the fish pellets in would be our advice. There is also no shade in the fish "raceways" so be sure to have sun protection.

The fish hatchery is a joy and it's FREE!!! We took our 5 year old grandson there last year and I think my husband and I enjoyed it as much as he did! Besides getting to feed the fish, they have a wonderful little hands on wildlife museum! I am not usually in to museums but this one was very interesting!
