What A nice setup. -

They got to assist in blocking the sun, as to not allow the eggs to spoil. The workers explained the whole process, the importance and everything as they worked. The kids left in awe, and talked for the rest of the day about the experience. Very educational, learning process for them. My daughter is now inspired by them and is now interested in working with the fish.
Big thank you to the workers at the Fish Hatchery, especially the lady doing the egg removal (we never got your name!) You've made a couple of kids very happy, and taught them lessons they will never forget. -

(July 11, 2023, 3:50 pm)The reason to go here is for the tubing. What a blast. Enter at the fish hatchery (nothing exciting here). Once in the water, the ride is divided in three parts. Part 1 is pretty fast and loads of fun, ends at Puntledge Park where the beach is (on the right). Part 2 is a bit tamer and people who are scared could enter here for a somewhat softer ride. Part 2 ends at Condensory Road (look for an overhead bridge where kids may be jumping). Part 3 is from here to Lewis Park where you exit just before the bridge. This part is painfully slow and may be boring for some. Exit the water on your left before you get to the bridge. If you want to skip this part, just get off at Condensory Road on your right. Have fun!
