Hatchery is so cute! At first I was concerned because I came all the way from the city to look at such a small place. However, there is more that just the outdoor pools you see upon arrival. Dont forget to go to the separate small buildings to see the aquarium part of the place. Its easy to miss and assume its just the 3 or 4 pools. The fishes were somewhat overcrowded, but it was fun feeding them and watch them jump for the food. There is a small kids room where they placed a tank with baby eels. Cool stuff! The place is cheap only $6 and its worth the price for the 1 or 2 hours you can kill. They also give you the option to fish for some trout and buy them afterwards. But do you REALLY want to kill and eat the fish ??? Fishes are friends, not food.

Have volunteered here for a few months and the staff are amazing! A non-profit educational center, proceeds go directly towards providing more programs and services to local schools and organizations. A relaxing getaway in the middle of Long Island, fishing and aquarium exhibits offer a great experience away from busy, daily life! Personal favorite is working the Fishing Dock, rarely crowded and filled with exciting families, solos, and small groups having a good time with each other and new faces. Always looking forward to meeting new regulars that want to enjoy a nice day out with the water~ Open year round!

This place is a freakin scam. First they hit ya with a 5 dollar charge just to walk in there, then an extra fee for bait, then they make you sign some stupid friggin contract. And on top of that its an extra 4 bucks for every fish you catch. Well my friend and I both experienced fisherman were there for 2 hours with the best equipment and the "bait" we paid for and not 1 of the like 80 fish in there bit it the whole time. And they apparently kick you out at 3 which makes absolutly no sense. So caught no fish and wasted time and momey. And by the way the employees (some) are frigin douche bags!

Trout hatchery on the north shore, its fascinating to see how the fish are bred and raised. If you want fishing, they have that too, for an additional fee. Indoor exhibits of local fish and amphibians. They used to have a massive snapping turtle that died a few years ago at over a hundred years old, but they had him stuffed, and hes still very impressive. Its not a big place but its six bucks to get in. Theres also a gorgeous lake out back next to a church that offers killer views to the photographer in you.

Always a great time with kids for a quick and easy fishing trip. They do add on all sorts of small fees to fish and you have to pay $4 per caught fish so prepare for that. But it is a cute little place to walk around and learn about fish and fish farming.

Want for a scout program "Into The Woods" and learned about the trees and their place in the ecosystem - the kids loved it. I learned a few things too! We will be back for the fishing and to explore the rest of the aquarium!

It is wonderful for 4 to 10 kids and mentally challenge kids. I work with very special kids and recently we took them there they interact with the environment. I am taking my son very soon.

Nice quiet little place with friendly folks and an interesting collection of fish and amphibians. Makes for a good afternoon for the younger kids, feeding fish, turtles, and reading exhibits.

Expensive for a guest pass. For the price they could offer a fancier experience.
