Reviews of Whaling Museum
"Visiting the Nantucket Whaling Museum is a deep dive into the rich maritime history that shaped the island of Nantucket. Housed in a beautifully restored 19th-century candle factory, the museum offers an extensive collection of artifacts, art, and exhibits that paint a vivid picture of Nantucket's bygone whaling era. The massive sperm whale skeleton suspended from the ceiling is a showstopper, reminding visitors of the majesty and might of these leviathans. Coupled with knowledgeable docents and interactive displays, the museum ensures an immersive experience for history buffs and curious minds alike. A trip to Nantucket would be incomplete without understanding its whaling heritage, and this museum is the perfect gateway. Highly recommended for an insightful and enriching experience and make sure you go all the way up top for a great view of the town!"
"This was an awesome way to start our adventure on Nantucket. Tons of information. Not only about whales but for the whole town. It's $25.00 for adults. They have a full size whale skeleton on display. I loved their rooftop. You could see the whole down town. They also had some tables and chairs to sit and relax on. They also have elevators. Great museum. I had my bookbag with me and I was asked to keep it in their closet. I learned a lot."
"Excellent museum and an extraordinarily friendly staff. The exhibits were well done and provided a lot of information. There were also a lot of special talks and experiences for visitors. This is a must see!!"
"All the locals told me I must go to the museum I went it was interesting to see the history and culture of this island. A gentleman that was a actor acting out an average day on a ship was very much into his character and he was aggravated that I was holding myself on. Make sure you put all your cell phones away when he performs or he will call you out. Overall really nice experience if you're in town definitely do it once. Make sure you go upstairs to the roof and check out the view."
"Great place to visit. I wish I had more time to take it all in. Tons of exhibits and history to soak up. The whaling presentation was well put together and engaging. I'll hopefully be back some day to give it the time it deserves."
