Family membership at The Whale Museum in Friday Harbor and an Eco-Friendly Orca Adoption

When you visit The Whale Museum, you enter a place that is a delightful combination of science and magic!

Gallery of Whales
In the Gallery of Whales you'll learn about the natural history of marine mammals, with a special focus on the orcas of J, K and L pods living in the waters of the San Juan Islands.

You'll find a fascinating collection of exhibits, artwork, models, and artifacts, including real whale skeletons and a family tree of the resident orcas. You can also listen to the "songs " of various species of whales in the Whale Phone Booth, and watch the free, 30-minute video on Pacific Northwest orcas, showing continuously.

Family membership has many rewards including: free Museum admissio, store & program discounts, our biannual newsletter, notice of special events, and more.

Eco-Friendly Virtual Orca Adoption demonstrates your environmental awareness in several ways: its paperless, no printing, no postage, no transportation costs.  All information is delivered virtually, into your designated email address.

• A beautiful virtual desktop certificate displaying an action photo of your whale


• Profile of your whale and a geneology chart of your whale's pod, and more


• How You Can Help - a list of simple things you can do to protect the orcas' world as well as your own.
