"Blue Whales" special exhibition is open June 21, 2025 – January 11, 2026.
Blue whales are BIG! How big are they? They can grow up to 110 feet long, weigh up to 400,000 pounds, and have a heart the size of a small car. Even their appetites are big: they can eat 16 tons of tiny krill every day. And their voices? Blue whale songs can travel 1,000 miles underwater.
Dive into the details behind their mind-blowing biology and discover how these mammals became and remain our planet’s largest animals ever.
Members receive free unlimited admission – visit as often as you like!
