Hi Ozzie, Yes, the local taxi companies can transport you to the Historic Whaling Station. There are no public transport options. Local tour operator Busy Blue Bus have an Albany Whale tour which includes transport and entry into the Whaling Station.

I have never seen pets inside the complex. I'm not sure if they are not allowed or that people simply do not bring them. Personally, I would not consider the area as suitable for pets. You can phone the Whaling Station direct for an accurate answer. Regards

Hi chc137, yes there is an entrance fee to explore our site, please visit our website for full list of entry pricing. Most guests spend 2 - 3 hours exploring the Historic Whaling Station, plus another 45 minutes to 1 hour in our Australian Wildlife Park and Regional Wildflower Garden. We have free picnic and BBQ facilities, so bring along a picnic lunch or enjoy a delicious meal in our seaside cafe. As we are a not-for-profit organisation all ticket sales go directly into maintaining this heritage listed site and preserving Albany's unique history.

Most guests spend 2 - 3 hours exploring the Historic Whaling Station. We run guided tours on the hour from 10am to 3pm each day and run for 40 minutes. The majority of the site is self-guided with four movie theatres, many galleries and displays, and the Cheynes IV Whalechasing ship to climb aboard. Plus, we have an Australian Wildlife Park and Wildflower Garden to explore, all of which is included with your entry ticket. If you would like any additional information, please give us a call on 08 9844 4021.

Hi greywolfSydney, yes our site is almost completely wheelchair and pram accessible. The only part of the site which is not is inside the Cheynes IV Whalechaser, which has stairs and ladders for access as it is an original whaling ship. Please give us a call on (08) 9844 4021 if you need any additional information. We hope to see you visit soon.:)

Hello, we have plenty of families bring children these ages through and they don't get scared at all. It is always surprising how well they handle the history of the site and how it was used. You are welcome to start a tour and then 'wander off' if you notice the kids aren't engaged - the whole site is open so you are free to explore the factory without our guide. I'm sure they will enjoy the chance to go onto the whaling ship and have a look!
