★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 2 weeks ago, we took our kid to this nice park and fish hatchery. Wow! It was a great experience, from feeding the fishes to understanding the eco system in our rivers and lakes, plus there's so many other things about being eco friendly and caring for our environment that are being taught at this fine establishment... All in all, you feel welcome when you step in the facility as the staff are incredibly friendly and super nice, and everything is neat and tidy, and carefully planned out for the visitors. My kid enjoyed everything on show and especially the aquarium at the basement.
I would recommend to anybody. And the cherry on the topping? You can walk out to the park outside the habitat and sit down and relax outside, to enjoy the greeneries. But please be considerate visitors - last week, we went to the outdoor areas and it was great to see many people do picnic. Everyone was great and kept the place tidy except for a couple of basically very 'ignorant' people who left their garbage outside the bins that were
full... perhaps use another bin - it's common sense. Don't leave your bin bags in the open air where there are rodents and other wildlife! Be considerate to others using the park!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Really enjoyed our experience! Staff were very friendly and knowledgeable. Feeding the fish was a highlight, and the trails were busy, but nice to walk. FYI: The children’s fishing pond is a bit shallow on water right now due to water level maintenance issues to be fixed in 2023. I’d recommend closed toe footwear if you want to feed the fish (need to step through a disinfectant).

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Beautiful rips throughout the whole area. A spider web of pathways, branching out every direction to take. It's a 19 km exlerating ride for me starting from district Copperfield using the Bow river pathways, direct to the hatchery and Inglewood area. Glad to live in Calgary as it's so beautiful ?

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ $12 very well spent. You get to visit the hatchery, feed the fish, you can learn how to fish in a children's pond, and two floors of aquariums and interactive exhibits are exquisite. And the whole thing sits in a park with abundant park benches. Both kids and adults will be delighted by the experience.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A great place to bring your kids and learn a lot! Take it at your own pace and learn as much or as little as you'd like in the discovery center. Would highly recommend spending the $2 to feed the fish, it was fun to watch. We spent about 2 hours there. In the summer they have an outdoor fishing pond for kids (ends Sept 30).
