If you like wildlife the hatcher is the place to see more Trout than you will ever see in one place and you have a quarter you can feed the fish and watch how quick they find the food and eat it before it reaches the bottom of the tanks no matter how big the fish are. More

This is great family fun for FREE! Very helpful staff and have enjoyed each and every visit! More

Very interesting, learning about the fish in the local waters. The visitor's center is worth the short drive out from downtown Branson, even if you don't go out to the fish ponds. However, they are certainly worth walking outside to see. More

This may sound a little boring, but it really isn't. It's very interesting to see how the fish are bred.

Interesting (free) attraction to spend a little time away from the neon lights. Kids liked feeding the fish, but that did not last more than 15 minutes. Not sure I would plan my vacation around this place, but worth a quick stop if you are visiting the dam. More

It was neat to learn about the life cycle and conservation efforts being taken. Even our 12 y.o . son was engaged in the presentation and asked questions. They sell food to feed the fish..all you need for that is a roll of quarters and a bag or something to put the food in. The kids will enjoy watching the... More
