Weekend adventures #2 Neosho National Fish Hatchery

After going to the Neosho Historical Society and touring the museum and their other buildings on grounds, we went to the Neosho National Fish Hatchery.

First on entering there is a gift shop on the left and an information desk directly ahead.  To the right are some aquariums, an electronic quiz game, and a theater which is very educational.  My kids really liked the movies.  Then outside they have pools of fish and pelleted feed that you can use to feed the fish.  The kids liked that too.



Inside the aquarium the kids were able to go into a bubble inside the aquarium.

He's telling me the fish food looks like dog food.  Interestingly enough it is made especially for fish.

The kids really enjoyed feeding the fish.  After feeding the fish, we came in and watched three movies in their tiny theater.  The first movie was about cave fish and how this species was found in Neosho in 1989.  The second movie was all about the rainbow trout they raise.  The third movie was the history of the Neosho National Hatchery.  All three were very educational.

After this we mosied over to the information desk.  The kids scored a free pencil.  From there we wandered into the gift shop.  I bought the hand made soap they have which is locally crafted.  It smells divine by the way.  

Overall, a great visit and I would recommend you take your family to visit as well.
