Very interesting. I had no idea how big whaling was back in the day and the impact it had on the local economy and immigration. Staff is very friendly and eager to explain.

I would go here for a nice rainy day very quiet and regional

One of my absolute favorite museums in the world.

Take a guided tour ! In the main lobby, check out the stains on the floor caused by whale oil dripping from the skeleton suspended from the ceiling!

A great museum with a half-scale ship you can climb aboard and check out. Very neat.

Hadn't been there in a while and was very impressed with the quality of the exhibits and the overall level of the museum . Absolutely worth a visit.

Great Exibits,Shipmodels,Great FUN!

2nd Thursday of every month...AHA night...open til 8pm and free admission for all...????

Great painting collection if you love art ! This could double as an art museum .

Worth a visit. As with most museums , school hours are besieged by field trips.

Don't skip the patio on the 2nd floor. Great view of the bay from there.

Excellent place for history

We learned a lot about whaling and the history of New Bedford.

Definitely worth the trip - top notch exhibits . You can pick up the latest edition of the R.A.G. here!
