Learn about salmon
A visit to DIPAC is enjoyable. Learn about the salmon and see the young smolt. Watch the adults jump in the outdoor pools. Enjoy the videos and exhibits inside. A pleasant way to spend an hour.

Excursion on a Royal Carribean cruise to Alaska
It was an excellent lesson on what happens to a salmon in its lifetime . I never knew they come back to spawn in the same area they were born. Every one there was very knowledgeable. They care a great deal about continuing the salmon life cycle.
