A warehouse-sized hall holds dozens of whale models at true scale, and next to the blue whale you feel like a sardine. You wander between them, touch the flippers, and an audio guide has a story for each species. Staff-led tours run twice a day. It is a good place to be when the weather outside turns nasty.
