Attractions
Freshwater History Museum
Learn about the history of Trout and Fly fishing on the Tongariro River, one of the best fishing rivers in the world. Rainbow Trout were introduced to New Zealand around the turn of the century and have been challenging anglers from all over the world who come here to try and catch them.
Native Freshwater Aquarium
View one of New Zealands best collections of native freshwater fish. Our aquarium has Giant Kokopu, Koura, Tuna and Koaro to name a few species endemic to Aotearoa. Our local ika can be very shy and are especially adept at camouflage or hiding in their environment. Come and see if you can spot them.
Trout Hatchery
Walk through our working trout hatchery with up to 16000 baby trout or "trout fry" in residence. Learn about how adult hens each with around 3500 ova start the process. These trout are moved to the raceways and then finally end up in the Kids Pond.
