We visited here 2 days ago with 3 children aged 2, 4, and 6 (and 4 adults).
The kids were free for entry. There are several different ponds to choose from including a challenge pond which will give the kids an exciting chance to try and catch fish prior to moving over to the other ponds where they are guaranteed to catch a fish immediately!
The grounds are clean and well manicured. Opportunities for shade and sitting down are scattered around the ponds. Plenty of rods, buckets and nets are available for use at no extra charge. The person helping us on the day was really nice and let the kids watch him gut the fish and explore the innards, while he identified the parts. The kids held the heart and massaged it to beat again. The lessons learned here were brilliant!
Our kids (and us) had an absolute ball.
We let them catch 1 fish each (rainbow trout). They were quite large and it only cost $48. Plus they gut and clean for free. If you look at this price for fish, you may view it as expensive, but you need to look at this as the time you spent there and the experience the kids had. This was a day they will never forget.
Hot Tip: use a few pellets to burley the water in the challenge pond to make it exciting for the kids. The fish will jump and splash around the rod, but they probably wont catch anything in this pond. It helps extend your time there and add that extra bit of anticipation and excitement for the kids. read more
