Reviews of New Bedford Whaling Museum
"Great museum with a lot to offer! Full Whale Skeletons in the main lobby shows just how big these creatures are. Lots of great history and learning opportunities, this museum is much bigger than it seems. Great staff, and very clean and well present exhibits!"
"The New Bedford Whaling Museum is an exceptional destination for anyone interested in maritime and whaling history. The exhibits are thoughtfully curated, providing a deep dive (pun intended) into the whaling industry and its cultural significance. From interactive displays to fascinating artifacts, visitors can truly appreciate the magnitude of this historical period. This museum has a welcoming atmosphere for visitors of all ages. There’s even a scavenger hunt to keep everyone entertained while walking around the exhibits. Whether you're a history enthusiast, a whale lover, or simply looking for an enriching experience, the New Bedford Whaling Museum is a must-visit. It offers a unique glimpse into the past and leaves visitors with a deeper appreciation for the legacy of whaling. There was even a couple who even rented out the museum for their wedding after hours."
"Went here as part of a group event with no real expectations, however I was blown away! The museum looks small from the outside and main lobby, but seemingly goes on forever. It is meticulously maintained, and all of the interactive exhibits worked as they should. I don’t think I would recommend it for a family simply because there isn’t a whole lot that I think kids would be interested in; although there are a few exhibits geared directly toward engaging children. Overall, I think it was great and I would highly recommend it."
"A very cool and interesting place to visit. I have gone twice with my kids now (4 years old and 18 months old) my kids had an absolute blast. So much to learn"
"Fantastic place to spend a few hours! I was totally impressed with this huge collection of historical info, artifacts, and exhibits. There is so much to see and learn here. I don't want to give too much away because you'll be blown away with some of this museum's surprises. There's fun for the whole family, so bring the kids."
