The Whale Museum
Experience a delightful combination of science and magic!
A visit to The Whale Museum on San Juan Island opens the
door to a magical world. Our Gallery of Whales features
stunning photography and artwork as well as fascinating
artifacts - including real whale skeletons and a family tree of
the resident orcas.
Orcas—also known as killer whales - are found in every ocean
of the world. Most live in the colder waters of the Antarctic,
Pacific Northwest, Iceland and Norway. The inland waters of
the Pacific Northwest have been the summer feeding grounds
for a group of orcas for thousands of years.
Pollution, dwindling salmon stocks, and high boat traffic have
caused the orcas in the Pacific Northwest to become
endangered. The Whale Museum is committed to helping these
beautiful creatures and the Salish Sea ecosystem through
education and research.
How Can You Help?
Environmental education may be the strongest ally these orcas have. We can develop conservation policies to ensure their survival only through an understanding of the whales' needs for habitat and food resources. The Whale Museum hosts exhibits and sponsors educational and stewardship programs to spread the awareness.
You can support The Whale Museum’s research and education efforts by donating or adopting an orca. Currently, there are over 85 whales that are available for adoption through The Whale Museum’s Orca Adoption Program!
