Anchored in the story of New Bedford’s whaling industry, the New Bedford Whaling Museum documents and shares the diverse stories of this vibrant maritime region and its people, both bygone and current.

Its mission is to ignite learning through explorations of art, history, science and culture rooted in the stories of people, the region and an international seaport.

Historically, whaling was an essential economic driver for our port communities and also for a rapidly expanding and industrializing society. The wealth and economic capacity generated by whaling fueled the growth and diversity of the SouthCoast region.

Bring your family to marvel at the scope, significance, implements and tradesmen of the whaling industry in this locale.

The 4 passes are good for any age to use, and are valid for one use each. They do not expire.
