 Scenic salmon hatchery |
4500 Capilano Park Road Vancouver, BC V7R 4L3 Canada +1 604 666 1790 http://www-heb.pac.dfo-mpo.gc.... |
If you are in Capilano River Regional Park, follow the signs to the fish hatchery. This facility produces three million salmon each year. There are display aquariums, adult fish ponds, and a fry-filled juvenile rearing area. If visiting in the fall, you might be able to catch a glimpse of the adult salmon jumping up the fish ladders. It's definitely a unique experience. Admission is free. Review © 2007, Wcities |
