  • We went here thinking it would just be something neat to quickly see. Little did we know what a pleasant surprise was waiting for us. The hatchery was so fun and informative! We could have easily spent 3+ hours here! I’d say plan on spending at least 1.5 hours. It is free, but you can purchase fish food. My son loved to feed the fish. We enjoyed the history. The entire site was well labeled with information and also very well kept. The volunteers were also friendly. I definitely recommend if you’re ever in the area!
  • An amazing piece of U.S. history. There is no fee to enter. The grounds are gorgeous and well maintained. Highly recommend spending an hour or so to visit the historic buildings, learn about how trout were introduced into South Dakota and other states in the late 1800s. Kids will get a kick out of feeding the fish.
