If you are into fishing you will enjoy this place. They also run great holiday program showing children how to catch Trout and when they have caught one it is then smoked for to eat, great value totally recommend, i ve taken my granddaughters there twice, they love it...
The trout are numerous like thousands!!. It's fun watching the kids fish and actually catch them with the instructors, natural setting, and BUY the fish food on entry. $5 per bag but what happens when you feed the wild trout is a lot of fun. We should have bought at least 3 bags 1 each. For fantastic photography and video, have one person feed the trout from the platform whilst another watches through underwater viewing area. They are HUGE and go crazy .... brilliant!!
Pretty expensive for what you see. Loads of good history and information inside if your right into trout fishing. The walk outside took about 20mins including the kids catching a fish. The only pond we could see was the kids fishing one, the others were closed. $20 adult entry, $50 to catch a fish which is ontop of general entry.
Great place to bring the kids for a bit of education in aquatic life. It's not very big but you could easily spend an hour or so here. Highly recommend getting some fish feed - the trouts seem to love them. The aquarium section is small but filled with native fish which is nice to see. Definitely pay it a visit if you're around the area.
The Tongaroro National Trout Centre has wild rainbow trout in a creek near the center. It is very educational for children and fishermen. The trout were introduced from California. The trout have become self sustaining. This hatchery doesn't release trout to the wild, but puts the hatched trout into a pond for children to enjoy catching fish.
Great place to visit lovely surrounds good information on New Zealand trout and the area as a whole. Kids are free and adults are $15. A must see if your into fishing or just want to know more about the Central North island.
We purchased 2 kids fishing packages as well as 2 adult admission. The kids thoroughly enjoyed their fishing experience and even better it was smoked for us and we got to enjoy it on some ciabatta bread and it was divine.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedYes
This a must stop over in Turangi if you are a nature lover & a great place for a picnic. Close encounters with VERY big rainbow trout plus opportunities to feed the fish & watch them under water. The museum & hatchery is interesting and educational. Over the school holidays children can fish for their own trout & it gets smoked for you to enjoy for lunch. We will certainly consider this activity when timing suits. We were really impressed.
If visiting, highly recommend to grab a bag of the trout food and to feed the trout at both the viewing room and the kids pool. Fascinating to watch the trout go crazy after the food!! Lots of fun. Good for a a few hours on a rainy day if you can’t make it up the mountain.
Well worth a visit to learn more about the history of the introduction of trout in Aotearoa, New Zealand. It was fascinating seeing the growing trout in different stages, plus feeding the trout in the river and seeing them from the underwater viewing area. The river walk is an easy walk through native bush and kereru, tui, piwakawaka and the rifleman were just some of the birds that were easily spotted in the trees close to us. Friendly informative staff too.
