About
Whale World boasts heritage and culture in this unique and educational tourist attraction. They offer an interactive journey through the former site of Australia's last operating whaling station, supported by a series of audio visual displays, artefacts and whaling history.
Entrance includes a guided tour, run hourly each day from 10.00am to 3.00pm.
There are more than 25 exhibits to view and explore, including stepping aboard the Cheynes IV Whalechaser, viewing the Cheynes III steam engine in operation, or walking into a jaw-dropping exhibit of whale skeletons which includes the state's largest Pygmy Blue Whale skeleton on display.
The Spectravision display is not to be missed featuring 'A Day in the Life of a Whaler' presentation. Three previous whale oil storage tanks have been converted into movie theatres, showing 'Australian Whaling', 'Shark' and three dimensional 'Giants Exist', plus there are many photo galleries and whaling artefacts to gaze upon.
Picnic facilities available. There is a cafe and gift store open seven days a week.
Whale World is a 'must do' when visiting Albany. You don't know Albany until you visit Whale World.
