It is a small museum but there are so many species of salmon and information. There is a outdoor hut with other small animals. When we were there, there was a lady staff feeding and we were chatting. She was friendly and patient and even showed kids what she was feeding. 

During summer, the outdoor area to view the salmon will be opened.
