In the very very early Juneau pre-planning and investigating stage for 2nd visit to Juneau. Just came across the DIPAC - Macaulay Hatchery and it looks very interesting and is on the bus route to Glacier Gardens. Might even catch the early part of the salmon run by mid-June. For $5 is looks pretty reasonable even with $2 to re-enter the bus. Worth visiting?

 

Having grown up in Seattle eating cheap Alaska canned salmon (25 cents a can in late 1950's) and living near the fishing fleets at Ballard I've had a long connection to the fish.

I like the hatchery. It's small but interesting. I believe the $5 gets you the tour/explanation of salmon migration too.

 

Although it's technically on the bus line, you may want to consider renting a car with which you can see a number of 'off the beaten track' sights and not be on anyone's schedule.

You could just come to Issaquah in late-September - October and visit our hatchery. Even more fun if you come for Salmon Days the first weekend of October, if you can handle the crowds. No charge for admission! :D
