Join us for an unforgettable day as we welcome our brand-new, life-size sperm whale to Long Island.
Enjoy our fun community fundraiser welcoming our new whale with plenty of activities for both adults and children. Meet our 45-foot long sperm whale, and view the whale’s internal organs from the inside! Etch your own scrimshaw art design to keep, enjoy Fin-tastic Face painting, play our under-the-sea trivia sessions, try your aim throwing a “harpoon,” and more – all included with admission.
Reserve your spot now for a whale of a good time! Advance tickets include full access to the museum, all event activities, crafts, face painting, and a once-in-a-lifetime walk-through inside our brand new 45-foot whale. Timed-entry tickets for whale tours will be selected during registration.
Advance tickets are strongly recommended — whale tours have limited capacity. Door tickets will be available if space remains, but inner access to the whale may not be available without advance booking.
Event Notes: Strollers are allowed on the outside plaza, but not inside the gallery on this day due to fire code regulations. Thank you for your cooperation! Please Wear Socks – To view the whale inside, you will be required to temporarily remove your shoes. Please come wearing socks.
This is an indoor/outdoor event. While whales usually love water, this one doesn’t!
