We'd heard great things about this museum from friends and were excited to finally make it out here for a visit, and wow! This place really exceeded expectations. This comprehensive museum goes into a lot of details on whaling in the 19th century, including the science and behaviors of whales, whale conservation, the lives of various whalers, and the culture of whaling. In addition to artifacts on whales, there's artwork and various artwork related to whaling and the associated culture. There's also fine art and glasswork unrelated to whaling, so there's something for everyone. We spent most of a day here, which I didn't expect; I definitely think that we could come back here and see more that we didn't have time to see today. A fun, educational experience for everyone!The museum was smaller than I expected but had interesting artifacts, including personal items and photographs of 19th century and early 20th century whalers. There's a parking garage very close to the museum and I recommend parking there. Street parking is difficult to find.

Lots to see. They have QR code self guided tour but we didn't have headphones our earnings so we skipped it. Huge place. The skeletons of the whales are impressive. Lots to see. We spent over 3 1/2 hours there. Great explanations of each artifact and exhibit. The beginning movie is a continuous 22 minutes and gives the patron a good start on the museum. Kid friendly. Parking in garage a block away was convenient. Highly recommend.Very interesting museum, but the most valuable asset of it is the great guidance we had from staff and in particular Cody which is one on the amazing tour guides we met, very knowledgeable about all topics and passionate about both the museum’s theme, the town history and the visitors experience ...

FANTASTIC MUSEUM!!! A MUST SEE!!! There is so much I could say about this museum. Let me start with it is extremely informative and interesting. For me the best part if the inclusive way this experience is done. They have spaces and exhibits thag show EVERY culture that took part in whaling industry. Native Americans, European Settlers, African Americans, Japanese and Chinese. It is very family friendly and makes talks about the need to help these animals rebound their population. I highly recommend this museum to everyone.
