★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Fascinating! Great to tour with the kids and see the zillions of little fish getting ready to be released into the ocean. Very well run facility and friendly knowledgeable staff.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This is a really neat place to visit at this time of year. It was my 2nd visit here, with the prior one being in 1991. Anyway, it is just as wonderous to see now as it was back then. That said, it looks stressful for the fish and they tend to congregate together at either one end of the viewing tank or the other. The photos make it look like they are populous, and they are, it is just that they seem to enjoy swimming around each other and looking at us, looking at them.
Outside the fish hatchery, in the actual Puntledge River, many Salmon who were hatched here returned here after four years in the sea. They come back to spawn and die naturally, it seems, guided by some sense of magnetic attraction to home.
Anyway, personally, I love this place. One is allowed to have a well-behaved dog on a leash and a baby here. It is a very cool Autumn Experience. It is almost like seeing the Annual Salmon Run at Goldstream Park as a school kid. But, a little less pungent.
Definitely go. Otherwise, in the summertime, Puntledge Fish Hatchery is the place from which to launch off on an inner-tube journey down to where the river meets the sea.
The Comox Valley has a lot to offer.
