A Whale of a Tail!This is the gem of Telegraph Cove. Come in a spend a few dollars of entrance. Seeing the fin whale fossile is inpressive for the admission cost. If you have interest in marine life or just in the ocean the history lesson is regarding.PS. If you recognize the fiberglass model of the orca that's because he came from the Vancouver Aquarium.

So glad we called in here! The three young people on duty knew their stuff! They helped us learn more about the resident orcas, showed us how they identify the orcas and answered our hundreds of questions!

This is a beautiful little educational center with top notch staffing. We stopped by one weekday morning and spoke with Tyra. She was so knowledgeable, enthusiastic and passionate about whales-it was contagious. The killer whale family tree display is amazing and the display of skeletons within the tall narrow space is visually spectacular. Whoever put this together did a fabulous job. There is a minor entrance fee, and it is more than worth it. Don’t miss this.

Excellent centre. Perfectly preserved and wonderfully laid out. The staff has endless knowledge and can answer all of your questions. It’s a quick visit depending on how much you want to learn but a person could spend hours here if desired. $6 admission but I encourage donating more, if you can, to help contribute to this research and conservation efforts.
