DIPAC Macaulay Salmon Hatchery

It was so awesome to stop by and see so many fish. Really enjoyed this visit. Highly recommend. Amazing! Then you can cross the street and have dinner at the salmon. Bake in the beautiful forest.

Super fun and educational for the kids showing every step in the migration of salmon from egg to hatching and imprinting, swim to sea and return to spawn. Nice visitor center and aquarium. Great fishing on dock next to hatchery

Well, they taught me there's more than 1 type of salmon. Didn't go when the fish were running but it was still nice to learn about the hatchery and my neice loved the touch tank !!

What a great tour and learning center. The mission of the non profit organization is "to sustain and enhance the valuable Salmon resources" and THE really do that mission. They spawn, fertilize, and hatch MILLIONS of eggs from all 5 salmon species. They don't waste the fish as they sell the bodies for packing and to add as a revenue stream for the operations. Everybody wins. They even allow fishing right before their return fish ladders. As Salmon released from here return to spawn they have Thousands of returning fish each season. They offer a "Hands on" tank for other sea creatures like crabs and star fish. Take the kids as this program is for all ages.

I had a good opportunity to understand salmons life cycle in DIPAC Macaulay Salmon hatchery. Salmons are back to hometown after they have 1~5year ocean life.

I do Tours at Hatchery through Last Chance Tours It's an amazing place you'll learn more than you'd thought possible

Excellent! So great watching the salmon swim the fish ladders! Highly recommend.

Very interesting to see the process of raising salmon in a hatchery. You’ll learn how this method of wild salmon production contributes to the health of the salmon population in Alaska.
