I've been going here for over 30 years, and it's never a disappointment! They are constantly upgrading and adding new attractions.

If you have children and are in Eastern Washington this is the-must visit discovery center! We have learned a lot about the project, electricity and the fish bypass systems . There is a tour to get inside the dam and I highly recommend it. You will see from inside how much effort Chelan PUD put to built the dam and fish bypass system that helps salmon and steelhead on their way to the ocean.

This was an amazing stop. So educational, and many interactive exhibits plus a dam tour. Super friendly and knowledgeable staff. So good, I would happily pay admission were it required. Plus, they had a nice little cafe/shop with soft serve for us when we were done. Also very nice playground and picnic grounds. We also used the EV charging station. Please consider installing a few more, as it's a really great amenity!

April May time they said you'll see dam letting winter melt water out. June/July the tour guide said you'll see salmon in the fish ladders. Interesting to visit.
