Sandwich Fish Hatchery
Hidden Treasures · Sandwich
Make a little room in your Cape Cod day for a stop at Sandwich Hatchery, where families can see trout at different stages of growth. This working MassWildlife hatchery offers a simple, self-guided way to watch fish up close—there are no staffed tours. Parent tip: bring quarters and a cup to hold food from the feeding machines. A TinyVoy parent recommends this stop for toddlers who enjoyed feeding the fish and ducks. Feeding availability and rules may change; use only food permitted by the hatchery and follow posted guidance, including any restrictions on feeding ducks. Open daily, 9 AM–3 PM, at 164 Route 6A in Sandwich. Parking is available onsite. Check the official Mass.gov page for current visitor information before heading over. The official location page does not specify an admission charge or the current cost of feed.
