Outstanding facility. Learned alot about history of fishing in Illinois, state fish records, antique fishing tackle, fish biology, fish breeding and stocking, & conservation efforts. Took a tour of the inside and outside pools where they are raising 4 breeds of trout currently. Educator was very knowledgeable and shared his own fishing stories which made the tour very personable and fun. Great place to take your kids who are starting to fish to teach them about where many of our fish we catch come from. Free admission a nice perk, but I'd pay to go back. Looking forward to volunteer opportunities when it comes time to tag the trout before they are released into Lake Michigan.
