A very interesting self guided tour of the last surviving whaling ship out of Albany together with the buildings, film of the whaling industry when in operation, skeletons of whales and other outbuildings. Worth the visit.

From the minute you arrive the sea and it’s creatures are on display. From a stunning collection of shells to the video stories, the opportunity to board a whaling vessel and follow the process through to its quite gory conclusion. A whole way of life for the people of Albany was gone in a few short months. The entry fee also entitles you to explore the gardens and wildlife park. The gift shop and cafe are both worth stopping by.

A fascinating look at how whaling was such an important part of Albany. You’ll be captivated about how the industry worked…. Expect to spend more time than you might initially plan. We spent around 4 hours. There’s a cafe on site which serves good food and with a great view out to the bay.

The museum was extremely well done and we spent more time than we thought. There was a good combination of self-guided, video and tours. I would highly recommend it. It was a 30 minute drive from Albany so good to have some snacks or lunch with you. We had lunch at the restaurant which was very good but the restaurant could get backed up on a busy day.

So much to see and do here- we should have allowed half a day as less than 2 hours was nowhere near enough time- great 3D movie on these amazing creatures, whaling ship to explore, scrimshaw art- a must see!
