点评:We enjoyed our evening visit to the hatchery in mid August. This is prime time for salmon spawning and we saw several jump the waterfalls in the hatchery. There are windows to see the salmon waiting to spawn and windows to see the salmon jumping the "waterfall" into the hatchery area. They have displays to see salmon at different life phases as well as models to show healthy salmom. We got here about 30 minutes before closing and had the area mostly to ourselves. There is some signage to read and some good bathroom facilities too.
After visiting the hatchery we walked around to see the dam area and could see little salmon in the water and big salmon working their way through the water to the hatchery. The hatchery is in the middle of the Capilano River Regional Park and there are some nice trails in the area. We enjoyed the Coho Loop Trail and would consider spending more time in the area if we arrived earlier or planned to have a picnic in the seating area. We think 30 minutes at the hatchery and an hour or two in the area would be a good amount of time. The area is free to visit and is located north of Vancouver's Stanley Park.

参观完孵化场后,我们四处走走以观赏大坝区域,看到水中有小鲑鱼,也有大鲑鱼正逆流而上前往孵化场。该孵化场位于卡皮拉诺河地区公园的中心地带,周边还有几条不错的徒步小径。我们很喜欢科霍环形步道,如果能早点到达或者打算在休息区野餐的话,我们也会考虑在此多待一会儿。我们认为,在孵化场参观30分钟,再在该地区游玩一到两个小时就恰到好处。这片区域免费开放,位于温哥华斯坦利公园的北面。
