Catching a real trout is the reason the "Trout Pond" is the most popular and exciting activity for children.

After attending the activities, educational material and prizes are provided. Special prizes include fishing tackle, cane poles, and tackle boxes.
There will be numerous seminars at the aquarium where experts will be speaking. There will also be seminars on water safety, educational activities, a chance to make your own cane pole, gifts and prizes, and lots more!
