While there are plenty of awesome activities in the Bay State, this fish farm in Sandwich is a one-of-a-kind activity that’s completely free. The Sandwich Fish Hatchery farms multiple different kinds of trout before releasing them into our state’s waterways. You’ll be able to see all kinds of trout at different stages in their life, read interesting history, and feed the fish before you go. Kids will love seeing the fish up close, and adults will love to learn about our fish farm initiatives. All you need to bring is a few quarters for fish food!
