The Great Whale Takeover

Sept. 28 | Kids & Families
10 AM – 4 PM | Advance Registration Available
Have you ever wanted to come face to face with a whale? Now you can! Enjoy our fun community day welcoming our new whale with plenty of activities for both adults and children. Meet our 45-foot long sperm whale and view the whale’s internal organs from the inside! Etch your own scrimshaw art design to keep, enjoy fin-tastic face painting, play our under-the-sea trivia sessions, try your aim throwing a “harpoon,” and more – all included with admission.
Advance tickets are strongly recommended — whale tours have limited capacity. Door tickets will be available if space remains, but inner access to the whale may not be available without advance booking.
$20 Members; $25 Participant; $100 Up to 6 People
