Husband and I visited here a few weeks ago. It's a neat museum, lots of great information and displays. We both left feeling a little depressed though. Some of the stories of the whales were so sad. But we do highly recommend, just be aware that if you are an animal lover, there are a few sad stories.

What an eye opener the video "Sonic Sea" that goes into great detail about the wales' greatest problem that nobody knows about. Lots of educational posters and displays. Some that explain the whale numbering system. Interesting comparisons of various skeletons.
