Established in 1976 to study the endangered Southern Resident orcas that live in the Pacific Northwest, The Whale Museum is dedicated to protecting these gentle giants and educating visitors about how they live in the wild.
The museum boasts two floors of exhibits, but highlights include the real whale skeletons, the life-size whale models, and an exhibit commemorating a young orca who washed up on the shore in 2012. Guided tours are available for groups, but if you'd rather explore the museum on your own, you can pick up an informative Explorer Guide from the front desk.
