Whale Museum (Museo de la Ballena y Ciencias del Mar)
Museo de la Ballena y las Ciencias del Mar
A marine science museum displaying complete whale skeletons, introducing the whales of the Sea of Cortez and ocean conservation
Located near the south end of the seafront promenade, the museum displays several complete skeletons of gray whales, humpback whales and others. It covers the whales of the Sea of Cortez, whale sharks and marine conservation. It's a good place to do some homework before a boat trip, or to visit with children. The museum is not large; about an hour is enough. Admission is about 100–200 pesos, and some exhibit labels are in English. Opening hours may change, so check the official social media pages before you go.
