Amazing, definitely stop by. We saw a million salmon and sea lions were feasting away. Watch by the shore or you can also do a self-guided tour outside and watch videos and learn about the hatchery. Very cool experience. I came once in the early afternoon and again later at night and the tide changed so much we were able to walk way out in the evening. We were hoping to see a bear, but no such luck this time. :-)
Loved visiting this hatchery. Take your time to read the signs and watch the informative videos. The wild life viewing opportunities are great and views from the hatchery are great. Just be aware it's pretty smelly.
This is a short ride north of the town of Valdez , Alaska, and well worth the stop. We saw all kinds of sea lions feasting on the pink salmon. Found out later that this is the largest pink salmon hatchery in North America .Check out my YouTube video about Valdez and you can hear the sea lions growling at each other.
It wasn't open inside but has great self-guided tour explaining everything about the different salmon life cycles. The babies need phytoplankton which climate change is affecting. It is a miracle of nature how sooo m species depend on salmon bringing nutrients from the ocean back to shore!! Lots of animals. The over 250,000,000 salmon attreact fisherman which takes pressure off the more natural streams.
We heard about the fish hatchery when visiting Valdez. So we went there, it was amazing. I've never seen so many fish. We didn't see any bears, but there was lot's of signs warning about them.
Amazing with the natural show with salmons, sea lions, sea otters and black bears. It's worth any minute to drive there.
We arrived after hours, but there is a nice, outdoor visitor display and viewing point. Video screens and info displays show and describe how the process works. You can also see the salmon swim upstream in the ladder steps system to the large vats. We saw tons of fish swimming upstream in the weir. We also got lucky and saw a bear with her 2 cubs on the other side of the bridge catching fish, plus a group of sea lions hanging out in the calm waters nearby. A very nice bonus.
In the season this is an awesome stop if you are in Valdez. The area is a fascinating mixture of nature and fish management.

Went out for chickens due to windy weather, on the Lena Claire. Captain Will absolutely smashed it. He made the experience absolutely amazing. He knew how to read the water / currents and move us when needed to keep us on the fish. Definitely recomme
This might make me less highbrow than a standard museum goer, but I like my museums with more of a fun and fascinating factor over historical detail. This place is brimming with wow moments but sometimes lacks heaps of background knowledge. The displ
Worth a visit! Yes, Valdez is an amazing outdoor destination. But the museum presents the history of the place and the resilience of the people there. Gold rush, earthquakes, tsunami, fishing, shIpping, oil, and just terrific displays of histo
Perfect! The location is wonderful, close to the harbor, walking distance to pretty much everything. We ended up walking to the Safeway and subway near by and the street has a lot of food options. We were able to park our rv, and hook it up to sewer,
Best hotel in Valdez with the newest modern rooms. Indoor pool is great for kids after a full day of travel. Contental breakfast is a perfect way to start the morning.
