点评:What a hidden gem! Shepherd of the Hills Fish Hatchery is a must-visit if you're in the Branson area. My family of 5 really enjoyed this place!
The staff was super friendly and genuinely informative. They offer scheduled 30 min tours that take you through the fascinating process of raising trout—from collecting and fertilizing eggs to full-grown swimmers. The tour was optional and you could leave at any time. Inside, they’ve got small but cool exhibits: a gecko, a couple of snakes, and a tarantula . They also had a live two headed snake when you first walked in! They also have a wall aquarium located in the back filled with beautiful
Outside, you’ll find multiple hatchery pools filled with hungry trout. For just $0.25, you can buy a handful of fish food (pro tip: bring your own cup). Watching the trout splash around is entertaining for the kiddos.
The view of the dam is gorgeous, and the nearby river is perfect for trout fishing—just grab a permit inside before you head down. Clean restrooms, a peaceful atmosphere, and the best part? It’s all free!
Perfect blend of education, nature, and fun. Highly recommend!
翻译:真是个隐藏的宝藏!如果你在布兰森地区,牧羊人山鱼孵化场 (Shepherd of the Hills Fish Hatchery) 绝对不容错过。我一家五口非常喜欢这里!
工作人员非常友好,而且知识渊博。他们提供30分钟的预约参观,带你了解鳟鱼养殖的迷人过程——从收集鱼卵、受精到成年游泳者。参观是可选的,你可以随时离开。孵化场内有一些小巧但很酷的展品:一只壁虎、几条蛇和一只狼蛛。你刚进门的时候,他们还展出了一条活生生的双头蛇!孵化场后面还有一个壁挂式水族箱,里面装满了美丽的……
孵化场外,你会发现多个孵化池,里面装满了饥饿的鳟鱼。只需0.25美元,你就可以买一把鱼食(小贴士:自带鱼食杯)。看着鳟鱼在水中嬉戏,对孩子们来说一定很有趣。
大坝的景色美不胜收,附近的河流非常适合钓鳟鱼——只需在入内领取许可证后再前往即可。干净的卫生间,宁静的氛围,最棒的是?一切都是免费的!
教育、自然和乐趣的完美结合。强烈推荐!
