Life size Blue Whale & friends

 

Go head to head with a life-sized Blue Whale and experience the feeling of being insignificantly small! Join us for a guided walk alongside the giants of the ocean and learn tons of amazing facts! Whales and dolphins live incredible lives in the ocean depths, yet in many ways they are so similar to humans, being highly intelligent and caring mammals. Discover more about them at this must-see centrepiece of WhaleFest!

 

They say that a human to a Blue Whale, is the same size as a rabbit to a human......OMG! Our life-size inflatable Blue Whale is 55 feet (18 m) long. That's the equivalent of two city buses! Blue Whales can weigh up to 200 tons (that's about 8 DC-9 aircrafts or 15 school buses). Their tongue alone weigh as much as an elephant, and about 100 people can fit in a blue whale's mouth. Blue Whales can produce sounds louder than a jet engine, and a single adult eats about 4 tons of krill (tiny shrimplike animals) a day!

Visit the life-size Blue Whale plus freinds including Minke Whale, Orca, Bottlenose Dolphin, Common Dolphin, Harbour Porpoise and Basking Shark in the Great Hall for more amazing facts as we introduce you to these oceanic giants!
