S	Shanan Tana on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Great place to visit lovely surrounds good information on New Zealand trout and the area as a whole. Kids are free and adults are $15. A must see if your into fishing or just want to know more about the Central North island.
V	Veena Ravi on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Kids friendly fishing $45, must pre-book. They fillet and smoke the fish for you. Can take between 30-60min to catch the fish and 25min to fillet and smoke.
C	Chris Spillane on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Didn't find the visit to the trout hatchery worth the effort or entry fee. Some interesting history but most of the hatchery is now not operating. Pleasant walk around the river track and you get to see some big trout.
Q	Qi Hong Wong on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Great place to bring the kids for a bit of education in aquatic life. It's not very big but you could easily spend an hour or so here. Highly recommend getting some fish feed - the trouts seem to love them. The aquarium section is small but filled with native fish which is nice to see. Definitely pay it a visit if you're around the area.
J	Jonathan Bones on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Really interesting walk and tour - lots to see. Nice walk along the river and plenty of info stops and opportunities to feed the fish. If you have kids and can time the visit, take them on the kids fishing day - great to see the local anglers teaching them to fish and they can keep what they catch too.
H	Happy Soul27 on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ We were lucky to have a sunny day, so it was lovely walking?If you still decide to visit this place, I would recommend to purchase a bag of trout food from the owner at the reception, it can make your walking much more funnier) P. S.. I personally enjoyed the feeding fish on the river even more than in the pond?
A	Arran B on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ If visiting, highly recommend to grab a bag of the trout food and to feed the trout at both the viewing room and the kids pool. Fascinating to watch the trout go crazy after the food!! Lots of fun. Good for a a few hours on a rainy day if you can’t make it up the mountain.
D	Damien Chung on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Have a museum about the history and conservation, then leading to the small aquarium with some of the trout and possibly other fishes. Not very visible nor plentiful, and there's a pond outside with many big fishes where kids can sign up to learn how to fish. For a town without a lot of activities it's a good 30 minutes time killer, otherwise if you're not really into fishes or expecting a proper full size aquarium this is not the place.
