Fish Hatcheries, Visitor Centers, Education Centers

Visit one of our hatcheries or visitor/education centers in the state. At Fish and Game's fish hatcheries, learn about how fish are hatched and reared. All hatcheries are open year-round, daily from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Guided tours are available by reservation. The Twin Mountain and Warren hatcheries also have educational centers. These hatcheries are staffed by a dedicated, hardworking group of individuals who not only understand the technical challenges of raising fish... they also love to fish themselves!

The Discovery Room
The Discovery Room at Fish and Game's Concord headquarters is a window on New Hampshire's great outdoors... complete with a life-sized moose cow and her calf!

Cow and calf moose -- two of the many critters you'll find at Fish and Game's Discovery Room.

The new room shows an array of New Hampshire landscapes that are so realistic that children and adults alike will forget that they're getting an education. These landscapes include a pond, stream, beaver pond, meadow, woodland, vernal pool, boreal (spruce/fir) forest, and even a typical back yard.

Come to Fish and Game's Concord headquarters at 11 Hazen Drive and check it out! The Discovery Room is open from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. on weekdays. Groups should call first to make arrangements -- 603-271-3211.
