Local tip
The hatchery is open until 16:00 on weekdays. If you are visiting on a weekday, you may need to rush through the tour or check if the complex grounds remain accessible after the official tour hours end. The food spots near Enchantment Park are about a 55-minute walk north from the hatchery, so plan your transport carefully.
