The museum offers a lot of information about the whales of the northwest. Exhibits are informative and suitable for kids. It took under an hour to see everything and is worth a visit.

I wasn't necessarily interested, but went based on numerous recommendations, and I was glad I did. The displays are extremely educational and include a lot of interesting information. In my opinion, the museum appears to be sadly underfunded, but they have done a remarkable job with what they have. I learned a lot that I found myself recalling later on a whale watching tour and a kayak tour.

Cool place worth checking out, lots of souvenirs to be had, lots of info to learn, and clean bathrooms. They even had a stair lift to take disabled up/down stairs as majority of exhibit is upstairs.
