Great gift shop, good tour guides who give lots of information if you stop to listen. If you ask questions they really have a lot to say. Great place for children

Very interesting and cool to see the salmon going up the ladder. Eat at the restaurant and was very good.

Heidi Halwa

Unfortunately we missed the big salmon run but we still enjoyed our visit. The fella at the ticket booth was very friendly and informative as well!

Good knowledge bank about Atlantic Salmons

Jared McCullough

It was 7:45 PM when we came to visit. The lady at the front said they were closed, even though we had 15 minutes to spare. I asked if I could walk up and take a picture on the deck. She said no and come back in the morning. I said we were driving to St John tonight. She didn't seam to care. Next time, when you have two paying visitors, be sure to accommodate, especially since we are visiting from the US. Either update your hours or show some decent courtesy for a couple of paying visitors who would have stayed no longer than 15 mins.

Huge fisheries facility

Nice place but quite expensive and not even a leaflet you can take away ! Come on Marketing people !!

Geoff Beaton

Amazing place to watch salmon jump and have a good meal.

Tarnnum Sayed

Learn about Salmon migration and their strong sense of "Home". Salmon ladder is fun to watch.

Terri Tubrett

Very interesting and you can see the salmon up close

Mark Chipp (Chrishel)

If you have the opportunity, eat on the patio. It's a great little place tucked away in Grand Falls-Windsor where you can feel like you're out of town without really leaving town.

Samantha Clarke

Very interesting place! Went in thinking it was going to be a quick trip, stayed over an hour. Staff was very knowledgeable and could answer every question we had! Watching salmon jump up the ladder is much more entertaining than I ever thought! Plus the views from the observation deck are amazing

Rodrigue Boudreau

A must visit. Great information.

Robert Wolf

A wonderful stop to see how salmon swim up their river ladder. Special underwater viewing in their basement.

Jason Paul

Nice place with a restaurant, souvenir shop. Too bad they charge to go see the Salmon.

Ian Glashan

What a great spot to learn. Must go.

David Antle

Rivers Edge Diner is a great little spot. Out door eating. Nice little pub food. Friendly staff. Great prices. We had moose sliders, deep fried cod and fries.

Helena Dang

I was skeptical but this turned out to be an interesting stop. Very informative. Good way to learn about salmon's life cycles. Just make sure you get there before those tour busses or you'll have to wait a while for a tour. A walk around the area is also interesting.

Stephen Silk

An amazing pace to take children and for all interested in nature. Been there several times since a young child and never disappointed. Also it’s in a beautiful part of the exploits river where a lot of amazing local history can be found!

Michelle MacDonald

Was not sure what to expect but greatly enjoyed watching the salmon jump and learning about their journey to their spawning grounds. Well done!

Lenny Leblanc

Missed the run in early June but still learnt a few things about the Salmon. Lunch was pretty good at the restaurant, lots of selection.

chris Audi1

at first the center was a little hard to find you will need to cross two little bridge the entry cost is 15$ for two adult + there is a restaurant where you can eat and relax for a good dinner +nice view of waterfall -lack of information the center look empty

Dian Jellicoe

You will have a great experience especially if you get Leon to explain the Centre to you.

Terry Murray

Beautifully constructed facility for viewing salmon in their natural habitat.

Cody Blackmore

I remember every second weekend my pop would take me to this place to see all the Salmon. Very nice Place, Brings back memories!!!

Marilou Casama

Amazing

STAN LEY

Excellent grub.. Nice outside eating area. Inside eating area very plain almost takeout like.. Price is middle of the road..

Jason Vaters

We visted with our teenagers. While it didn't take long to explore the area the whole family enjoyed it. Included is an view of the salmon Ladder, from above and below the water, as well some nice views of the Exploits River. Great way to send an hour if you're in the area.

David Pasieka

Great place with lots of activities. First floor has a Great restaurant and amazing Gift shop. Second floor has jumping salmon's , little zoo/aquarium in the basement of the building , nice views from the viewing deck!

Donny Moore

Only had a short time here but was interesting to learn about how this process to get salmon to spawning grounds.

Xavier Raemy

(Translated) Nice place to see the salmon going up the river. There is even a point of view to observe them underwater. (Original) Joli endroit pour voir les saumons remonter la rivière. Il y a même un point de vue pour les observer sous l'eau.

pp4mnk puppy

A very interesting stop. Fantastic for children

sam keskic

Great little place see the salmon ladder

Margie B

Gorgeous!! The fish burger at the restaurant is awesome!! Beautiful day and very nice people!!

Viktoriya Muradova

Great place. Met a guy (potentially the owner) who'd given us SO much insightful info!! Great view of the falls as well from this spot.

Deborah Kuo

This was another of our unexpected stops and we found it informative and interesting. I had no idea that the fishery in the Atlantic provinces extended to freshwater fish as well! I suppose it only makes sense but Newfoundland and Labrador has quite an extensive network of freshwater fishing places. The landscape certainly lends to that. This exhibit is interesting because it is a fantastic example of a successful (both for the humans and the environment and its wildlife) expansion of spawning grounds for salmon of the river system. The interpretation centre is part of the project and serves also to provide education to the public about the project and the fish and environment. We did not go quite at the right season to see salmon jumping up river but learned a lot about the impressive project and the benefits it has been providing. If you’re interested in resource management, ecology or simply the fish, this is a great stop for you. The views to get there are amazing over the bridge and the surrounding area and walking trail too. It is a little tricky to find but your GPS is probably not wrong leading you on some backroads etc.

Kelly Cote

Lots of interesting info. Great places to walk. Friendly staff.

Lee Woodworth

The salmonid center was awesome. Short 8 minute video of the development of the river and the work to increase the salmon stock shows how successful the salmon husbandry has been in this area.

Omer Mallhi

Good interesting information about salmon

Jordan Rideout

Lots of salmon jumping up the falls, big ones and small ones, good place!

Shelley George

An amazing centre, thanks Joanne for the great tour, it was very informative!

Jason Bell

Great place to learn more about the local aquaculture or just have a nice afternoon picnic while watching the waterfall on a nice summer day. Gift shop. Info and interpretation center. And for a nice snack theres a kitchen and dining area.

Wandering Minstrel

Great place to watch the salmon jump. 8 was there a little early in the season this year so there weren't many, but I've been there during peak season and it's great! The restaurant has amazing food.

Cindy Walker

Beautiful area!!! Food was great!

David McGrath

Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. Not a lot to see though.

Dwayne Sacrey

Its a wonderful place to go

Brenda D

I'm giving a three as we were not able to see the whole centre as hours of operation in June are not listed correctly on Google. We were sold tickets under the impression we had over 45 minutes to view the facility, which would be a good amount of time. What we did see was good and informative.

Debra Arscott

Waited at the cash to let them know we were going to sit outside as the sign on the door told us to do but before I even opened my mouth the employee went into a spiel about how busy they were, that there were only two waitresses working,etc.I think she assumed I was going to complain....very defensive...I had to interrupt her to tell her we'd be patiently waiting on the deck. We waited 45 minutes and didn't get any acknowledgement at all,no menu,drink order,nothing...they were busy but not full, there were empty tables...ended up leaving...never again. Very poor customer service, I have never ever been treated this bad anywhere else.

Valerie Cole

Beautiful spot

Tenant Association

The staff are rude and racist. Elderly Caucasian lady really ruined the experience for many guests attending for a wedding. Be sure to get things in writing from Mangment or they will not follow through with promises. There are plenty of beautiful places in Newfoundland I would not recommend this one.

Melissa Woodhall

A really cool spot and must see if you are visiting or passing through Grand Falls/Windsor. Lots to learn and see, guides on site and an underwater observation area. Don't be fooled by it's poor representation on the net, I highly recommend a stop in!

Amir M. Modir

Interesting

Earle LeBlanc

Great place for kids,

Miles Thompson

Stop over for coffee. Didn't visit the salmon site

Brendan Meaney

noice

Zaharat Ara Tahmina Sarker

Never heard of this before visit. Very interesting. Staff were very gentle and made us understand about ladders of Salmon's home traveling.

Mitchell Molloy

our family went there today, sept.1/2019. We told the server that we would be sitting outside, so we then waited 45 mins, never seen the server, so we then went and put 2 tables together and sat inside. waited another 30mins to get menu's. once ordering we waited an hour and fifteen minutes for our food, then wait another 15mins for utensils. the food wasn't even close to satisfactory, most of the food was returned and the server said she couldnt even believe it was allowed to leave the kitchen. we were given the excuse that someone called in sick and that some appliances were malfunctioning. spoke to some people in the area and it turns out apparently thats the usual excuse. safe to say you lost future customers.

Alexandra Lachance

(Translated) We have seen so many salmon. (Original) Nous avons observé tellement de saumons.

Rick Harrison

Well worth a couple of hours of your time. See the giant holding/counting tank downstairs. Watch the fish jump in the fish ladder. Watch a video. Stroll around and admire the scenery, or have a snack at the restaurant.

Jackie jacobsen

Great information site. Interesting facts and wonderful scenery.

Fazal Chaudhry

Beautiful place . Must visit.

Abdullah El-Safadi

I loved the center and especially how nice the people are. If you want to learn about salmons, its the perfect place.

Tim Osmond

A must-see if you are in GF and like fishing or the outdoors. Late June to August is best.

David Ivany

Interesting, informative and fun too.

Christopher Ballard

Beautiful view of the river and falls. Hard to believe such a Modernized facility exists. When I was a kid, there only existed a concrete ladder way and a concrete wall with a peice of yellowed glass to see the salmon. A must visit for tourists and locals alike.

Tom D.
