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.

Enjoyed this free (donations please) aquarium. Not often you find such a complete aquarium outside of the bigger cities. Structure is an older one but the displays/tanks are top notch with a excellent selection of South Dakota aquatic life. We visited May 2023.

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.

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.

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. 💯

The visit was very interesting as we saw some of the fish and other creatures that live in our river. There are some fossils from the local area on display as well, which is neat to see. The exhibit is small, but still interesting.

It was an interesting stop on our vacation there's not really people there to tell you about the fish hatchery itself but the aquarium was really excellent. I would recommend stopping in and doing all of the activities because it is interesting and free.

Really a nice experience when kids want a special day but you don't have much time. 45 minutes here and some ice cream at @dairydock makes everyone happy in just over an hour.
