You can walk along the various ponds and see the trout in several stages of growth. Signage along the way to explain the process. As you walk along you will notice the schools of fish will tend to follow you. The wildlife museum is closed due to COVID.

Very nice fish hatchery to visit for free. You can buy fish food there or bring you own. Lots of trail in the area along with wildlife.

Great place along the Animas River. Very tranquil with a quiet low lying riverbed. The night was extremely cold as we arent expecting the chill thAt came around 330 AM.Prepare for the cold if you have that option.FIND IT AND GO!!!

Only a short walk from downtown on the beautiful river trail of Durango is this wonderful place of family fun, learning and ty he best part its free. They offer a live fish hatchery where for 25 cents you can feed the fish yourself. Its as always fun to see the fish go food crazy weather you have food in had or not. They also offer a wonderful museum. Its open Monday thru Saturday from 10 am to 5pm and Sunday from 11 to 3pm. Stop in for a short 15 min film and then see and learn about the wildlife of the area. They also offer activities for the young children. This should be a definite stop when visiting Durango Colorado.

Helps make southwest Colorado one of the best trout fishing waters. Ive ever fished in almost 60 yrs

We really enjoy stopping by to see the fish at our local Fish and Wildlife (& Hatchery) while on our daily walks.

Good place to learn it about local species of animals and fish. You get to feel different animals skins. You can feed the trout in the Fishery area. And learn about how they raise and release the trout.

My kids loved the deer and the Riverwalk as well as the hatchery

Feeding the fish was awesome. My 4 year old enjoyed it.

Thus us where peace can be found

A wonderful place to bring children and adults!! The museum and fish hatchery is well taken care of and the volunteers our always nice and kind. A wonderful FREE experience!! A must visit if youre in town

Im a local volunteering on March 5th! Cant wait to engage!

We are so very disappointed with the state. We brought in a baby magpie, fell out of nest after being attacked by a crow. We told them to please let us know if they were going to euthanize. Never heard a word! Called them 1 hour later and it was dead. We wanted to keep it. No warning, no word. Kiss off to the whole government. That is why we call you gestapo. Boo hiss

Cool place, feed the fish and get hunting licenses here

Small but interesting place and its FREE! Staff are super friendly and knowledgeable. Great collection of native wildlife mounts and make sure to check out the fish runs and watch them at feeding time. Would be a good stop for kids.

Great photo opportunities. Peaceful place

This place is the best way to spend a couple hours in Durango. Its fun and informative and almost whimsical. Its great fun to feed the fishes and see them swim and jump ave chase. They provide a great service to the Durango area!

Very helpful great customer service

Pretty cool. You get to check it out on your own at your own pace. Lots of fish!

Dude had the best mustache. Always helpful.

Such an adorable weird little outing-- the Hatchery and Fishery! They have all the fish out in these troughs and you can feed them out of 25 cent gumball style machines! Right next to Animas Brewery so you can grab a beer in the sun afterwards :)

Lots of fun, they give you a lot of fish food to feed them for .25

Great place to watch kayaking stunts and white water rapids adventure.

This place is amazing!! They have a fish hatchery where the kids can feed the fish. They also have a wildlife museum with lots of educational material ...and games for kids. Inside they also have REAL animal pelts you can touch. All of this is run by volunteers. You have to stop by this place and help support them. The wildlife division is very important and learning about the things is essential ...and they need your help.

Get your tags and explore the fish hatchery at the same place.

Clean and professional we need more like this

Great seeing man make nature.

Great to see all of the wild animals found in this part of Colorado!

Great visit. Good for young and old. The big fish are mesmerizing. The museum was closed this Sat. but we have been before and it has very good exhibits.

Great little Colorado wildlife museum. The volunteers are helpful and knowledgeable. The State office on site has maps, wildlife regulations and sell Colorado hunting/fishing license. BRING YOUR QUARTERS AND FEED THE TROUT, SO AWESOME

Feeding the fish 44oz cup worked jus fine

Bring quarters to feed the fish Its fun for the kids

Very helpful guys and neat little cove of information.

Most amazing things to see..love the outdoors..this is amazing

Our kids woke up after getting back from our trip asking if we could go back. The experience was amazing. It was so informative for us and entertaining and exciting for the kids! We will definitely go back every time we pass through!

An awesome place to take your family for some cheap/free entertainment. You can feed the fish and sometimes spot a few deer in the area.

Very nice place for the kids. The museum, while small, has a lot of different animals and the kids found it to be very entertaining. The fish hatchery is also very nice. Bring quarters as you can buy food to feed them. A great place to take kids.

Really nice little stop, feeding the fish is amusing :) Staff is very friendly

Very friendly staff! Lots of great displays. Feeding the fish is fun for everyone! Bring your quarters!

What an amazing place to visit! The museum features an amazing taxidermy collection while the fish hatchery is a great way to experience wildlife up close! What a beautiful and relaxing place!!

We come here each year with our family of 7 and enjoy. Also the river behind the hatchery and bridge.

Great place to take the family! Amazing, friendly staff... and its free!

We love feeding trout! Bring a cup and some quarters. This place closes early so make sure you get there early afternoon.

My daughter and I had so much fun feeding the fish. Maybe boring for adults, but kids love it!

I got my fish question answered and then got to feed the trout. I will take my kids there next time. Definitely stop by.

Great wildlife museum attached to the fish hatchery. Volunteers are very knowledgeable and interesting.

Fun experience! Having the opportunity to feel the fur of animals that live in the wild is worth a donation!

Amazing to see all the trout in the hatchery.

Staff was very short with their answers and seemed like they had better things to do. The museum is usually closed even though their hours state they should be open.

Gentleman at desk was most friendly & informative

This was a lot of fun to feed the fish with the kids.

Friendly and helpful staff, great to work with

Always helpful

My son loves it...
