Learn about the life cycle of salmon at this non-profit hatchery, where thousands of fish are cultivated and tagged annually before being released into area lakes, rivers and streams. You can watch (and even feed) little ones swimming against the current. Next door at the Eagle Center, you can get up close to 10 rescued birds, including a golden eagle, great-horned owls and even a turkey vulture. One pair of bald eagles has mated for life and occasionally has babies to show off. Phone: 800-252-5158, 907-228-5530.
