little lovely museum, kept with hart and soul. Would have liked a little more scientific background explanations on whale behaviour and movement pattern

You can literally walk here from the mainland, if you park your car in Anacortes and walk on the ferry. It is several blocks from the ferry terminal in Friday Harbor, but ALL up hill!

It's a self- guided and paced exhibit and was the perfect way to begin our whale... More

If you are a visitor to the Islands you should include this stop on your list. Children will especially find this fascinating. Run by a dedicated and knowledgeable group of 'whale huggers'. Everything you wanted to know about Orca whales but was afraid to ask.

For a small museum in a small town, this is a very respectable place. They have a number of re-articulated skeletons, some of which are from "our" local whales. For those who don't know a great deal about whales, this is a very educational. The museum is expanding to include an exhibit for Sooke (L-112), a young (just over 3... More
