Open on Fridays and Saturdays from Memorial Day Weekend through Labor Day Weekend from 10 to 4, you can experience a bird's eye view of the fish ladder from above, and also experience a fish's eye view from below by gazing through our large viewing windows that look directly into the flowing water of the fish ladder. Knowledgeable educators will be available to greet visitors and answer questions.
