Marine Mammal Interpretation Centre (CIMM)
Centre d'interprétation des mammifères marins
A small museum run by a whale research organization, displaying whale skeletons, whale sounds, and research findings. It's the perfect place to brush up on your knowledge before or after whale watching.
The centre is operated by GREMM, an organization for marine mammal research and education. Its galleries display large whale skeletons, including those of sperm whales and belugas. Visitors can listen to whale calls and learn about conservation and identification research on St. Lawrence belugas. Guides are often researchers, making it a good visit for families with children. Admission is about 15 CAD. The centre is usually open from May to October, with peak-season hours of roughly 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. It is next to the whale-watching wharf and within walking distance.
Opening hours
Approx. May–Oct 09:00–18:00 (extended in peak season)
