Jim’s U-Fish

This place would get 5 stars if it didn’t nickle and dime you for everything! Or maybe if they offered a family deal that included some of the activities and a few fish? My 5 year old can’t stop talking about this place. When you walk in there is an entrance fee per person, I think like $ 6 (including kids). Then there are option to feed the animals, fish, visit the petting zoo, play on the playground, etc. Very relaxing day there and even if the weather is not perfect you can still have a great time. Fish are $ 6 each but they will gut them and clean them for you. You must keep everything you catch and they will store them for you until you leave. Bring a lunch and plenty of cash. Pony rides I think are $ 4. Great day to spend together with the whole family!

Giving only 2 stars for the following reasons…
1) don’t think this is a cheap place to go if you have more than one kid. They charge for every person that enters. Which is fine, it’s their farm they can charge if they want
2) almost everything cost $$$ what we thought was going to be a fun warm day here turned out to be over $ 50!!! For 2 kids and 2 adults!
3) the lady, I’m assuming is Old McDebbie is actually kind of rude to her customers. Sure I get that some customers can be pains (I should know, my family owns a business I help run) but you can’t take it out on everyone. Because I will NOT be recommending anyone to you guys and tell them you don’t reactor customers. There was a lady that had come up and asked her (McDebbie) if the water wasn’t working cause it wasn’t coming out of the water washing stations they have. She said «well I don’t know what to tell you. Maybe you don’t know what you’re doing» and walked off. The lady was shocked… as was I. Then later on we had caught 2 fish (that you have to pay for along with the bucket, food and poll) she was also rude and Sarcastic to my father in law when he brought them up when we were ready to leave
DO NOT GO HERE UNLESS YOU WANT TO SPEND ALOT OF $$ AND BE MISTREATED

So fun, absolutely love it. Did everything for 2 people for around 20 bucks and had the best time!

Awesome place to get some fresh trout, and very family friendly! All kids would have a great time here! (Both young and old lol)
I dont think you can get better tasting trout at your grocery store thats for sure!

This place is super duper family fun time ridiculous rad balls times 10. So legit. This is the perfect way to get off the beaten path for an inexpensive family outing for a good half a day or so. Now I’m not from around these parts, but to my knowledge there isn’t too many places I’ve been to where you can feed baby deer, shake hands with a lemur, ride a pony, pet a camel and get up close and personal with a curious gang of friendly alpacas all for about $ 25 bucks for a family of three. If you live anywhere near Spanaway there is absolutely no reason why you shouldn’t give Jim’s U-​Fish a visit. The kiddies will love it.

We have been going for years and love it. My older son is disabled and uses a walker, so we have never been able to do the I Spy trail, which I’m sure he would love. The animals are great, fishing is fun and the kids never tire of going there. Staff is welcoming and friendly. We’re going tomorrow to get pumpkins!

I took my 5 yr old niece her for a pony ride. When we got there, we were immediately greeted by Jim, who was extremely kind and helpful the entire time we were there. He was great about telling her about all the animals. She hates the outdoors and LOVED it there, now she keeps bugging me to take her fishing there.
There were so many animals, I personally loved the emus, and they were all very friendly, loved us being there and getting petted. There were multiple playgrounds, an I-​spy trail which we took the pony on. I wish we would have been able to stay longer.
It was a great day, great animals, great help, and lots of learning. We both already want to go back!

When we arrived at Jim’s U-​Fish at Old McDebbie’s Farm in Spanaway, we were greeted by a baby pygmy goat that thought he was a dog. That’s where the cuteness began and it didn’t stop until that same goat followed us to our car on the way out with its tail wagging away.
This is the PERFECT place to take kids for an afternoon of fun. In addition to several different kinds of pygmy goats, there are bunnies, chickens, a horse, an alpaca, and even a camel. Debbie knows exactly what each of them has to offer to maximize your experience from miniature pigs that sit-​up for carrots to Stanley the camel that kisses you on the cheek.
Super-​cheap too. They also have the ufish, of course, which I did not do; but looks like fun. You could spend a whole day here and not run out of things to do. Thanks for a great time, Debbie!

There just isn’t much better than fresh trout. And Jim’s U-​Fish is where to get some.
They’ve got all the equipment you need — poles, bait, nets, everything. You catch ‘em (not difficult as the fish are fed daily and they wait for your baited hook), and pay by the fish. If you don’t want to (or know how to) clean ‘em, they’ll do it for you. What could be easier than that!
The last time we were there, the price was $ 4 per fish — just not that expensive, either!
If the kids’ attention wanders, there are some unusual animals they can look at, too. Camel, llama, donkey, ponies, and such. This sure is a nice place to visit!
Now I’ve gotta get them to cook ‘em for us, too. Fillet ‘em, cut the fillets into portion sizes, dust ‘em with flour, then dip ‘em in egg wash then in panko, then fry ‘em golden brown. Serve ‘em with a bowl of rice, some shredded cabbage, and some takuwan-​zuke, and perhaps some Bulldog sauce on the side. A bottle of beer, and you’re set for some serious good eats! Or is that someone else’s line! Bam! Bob’s your uncle! Whatever. Enjoy!
