Located 22km from Albany, this fascinating historic whaling station turned educational tourist attraction offers over 20 exhibits exploring Australia’s whaling history. Now a family-friendly museum, it features interactive displays, 3D films, marine skeletons, and an Australian Wildlife Park with unique white kangaroos and a resident koala named Frank.
Stand-Out Feature:
The impressive Cheynes IV Whalechaser ship that kids can explore, complete with captain’s cabin and authentic maritime features. Plus, there’s a fantastic playground with a whale-shaped slide, swings, and a squid-themed sandpit area overlooking the bay – perfect for picnic breaks between exhibits.
Top Tip:
Your entry ticket can be extended to the next day if you don’t finish seeing everything (conditions apply). Start with the kid-friendly areas like the playground and wildlife park first, then tackle the historical exhibits at your own pace. Some exhibits contain graphic whaling imagery, so parents may want to preview certain areas before taking younger children through.
