É interessante mas nada de especial. Para as crianças tem mais interesse. Recomendo mais o lava show e o FlyOver Iceland localizados na mesma área.

Enjoyed visiting this museum. There was a short film regarding how sound in the ocean from ships, and military navy testing impacts and damages the health of whales, was worth taking time to see. Lots of whales to see and information to find out. There is a food court nearby the museum , supermarkets, ice cream shop, and sport clothing store. If you have the time it is worth to visit the museum and surrounding area. Highly recommend it.

A somewhat expensive ticket for what you get, we still enjoyed a quick visit to the Whales of Iceland Museum, if only to wander around the enormous models of whales to get a sense of their true size. We've been to several whale and whaling museums around the world and thought this was fine. If you're going on a whale watching boat tour and want to learn more about whales, this might be a nice visit for you.
