Have you visited the Aquatic Resources Education Center in Anacostia Park lately? We think you should come and bring the whole family. It's an undiscovered gem right on the banks of our precious Anacostia River.
This unique center is a realized vision of a partnership between the District of Columbia, the National Park Service, and the US Fish and Wildlife Service. In 2005, a $1.2 million expansion was completed to include dedicated classrooms and offices, display areas, live local fish exhibits, a fisheries laboratory, and a fish hatchery. The Aquatic Resources Education Staff are ready and eager to help any visitor learn about fish and other animals that live in the rivers and creeks of our city.
We are open to the public Monday through Friday from 10 am - 2 pm (9 am to 4 pm during the summer) or by scheduled appointment.
To schedule a visit or get more information about our programs and services, please call (202) 535-2260 Monday through Friday.
