Fabulous museum and day out - haven’t enjoyed a museum this much in ages!

5.00So much to see and do, in every building and nook, and on the ship. The quality of the curation, the insights of the volunteer guides who had worked there before whaling ceased, and topped off with delicious scones with jam & cream and milkshakes overlooking the bay made it a wonderful and very interesting day out for all of us. There was too much to see and do, and we didn’t make it to the botanic gardens and wildlife park in our half day visit - they have a policy to happily extend the ticket so we can visit tomorrow. Definitely recommend as a memorable must see.
History of whaling is an unusual destination

4.00Interesting piece of history displayed at an old whale processing center also has a small Australian wildlife enclosure and old whaling ship. ⁸
A balanced presentation of the whaling industry (as it was).

5.00The museum is well laid out with many signs in English. I didn’t see any other languages which is a pity. Most areas have easy access for mobility impaired customers (obviously not up the decks of the whaling ship). We came on a cruise ship and found that none of the local tour operators were offering tours to the whaling station on the day our ship was in port. Unfortunately, the public transport stops about 12kms short of this museum. There were no hire car companies within the vicinity of the port. We contacted the tourist information centre in advance and obtained taxi contact details but abandoned that idea and paid the exorbitant amount for a tour from the ship. We later heard from other cruise passengers that they could not find a taxi in town despite being told that they could get one from behind the visitor information centre. If you are on a cruise you may have to pay through the nose to visit this outstanding attraction.
Much better than anticipated. Very interesting.

5.00This a truly interesting and original place to visit. It displays a comprehensive exhibition around whaling and its importance for the area and has many unique items in its exhibitions. This was much better than anticipated and we stayed easily over 2 hours there. A bit expensive though.

5.00This is a really interesting place, not for the faint of heart but it's a huge part of the history of the area. Also, I couldn't make it on the day I had booked for and they were very accommodating, allowed me use the ticket days later.
Brutal but interesting

5.00Spent a couple of hours exploring the last in tact whaling station in the world which is now a museum. Only operating for 20 odd years this was a major source of employment in the area. Very hard life and obviously deadly for the whales. Not a trip for the sqeamish or children in my opinion. Glad to have seen it but not a place I would visit again.
Fascinating part of history but so sad.

5.00We spent 2 hours walking around, watching movies & seeing so much. It is beautifully maintained & set out. The old tanks have been converted to display areas. There is a walk through the gardens but the weather was against us.
Must do in Albany

5.00Great place to visit learning a lot about the early days. So much to see. It is a pity the day wasn’t so wet and windy because we would have stayed a lot longer. Well worth the visit
