Absolutely amazing place! Great information, videos, artifacts! Would of loved more conservation information or just acknowledging more of it! Had a great video on shark conservation however at the cafe sold shark *face palm* and sold whale oil as well…? I don’t know seems a little bit backwards in that sense

Very interesting experience. We learned a lot on the whaling sector and stayed almost 3 hours!
Worth the visit!

Well worth the visit. So much to see, hear and do! Touring the Chaser ship was the highlight. 3rd visit for me: once in 1973 when I saw the station in action, 2nd in 1990 and today. In my mind I could smell the odours from the very 1st trip.
