A space dedicated to the conservation, study, and promotion of the marine wealth of Baja California Sur, with a special focus on whales.
The museum is usually open from Tuesday to Sunday, generally from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM. It is strategically located on Álvaro Obregón Promenade (the seafront boardwalk) in La Paz, so it is very easy to reach on foot while enjoying the sea view.
General admission is around MXN 160 for nationals, with different prices for foreigners, while children and students usually receive discounts. It is a worthwhile investment, as the funds directly support marine rescue and conservation programs.
To enjoy it at a relaxed pace, I recommend setting aside between 60 and 90 minutes. If you use tools such as an IAudioguia audio guide, your visit will be much richer and more detailed without taking too long.
It is a key institution in the Gulf of California, dedicated to the education and preservation of marine mammals. It houses one of the most impressive collections of cetacean skeletons in Latin America, telling the story of the biological evolution of these species.
Any time is good, but visiting during whale-watching season (winter and spring) complements the experience in an incredible way. Going in the morning means fewer people and cooler weather for a walk around the area afterward.
Yes, the facilities are modern and generally accessible, with ramps and wide spaces for wheelchairs. The design is intended so that all visitors can admire the exhibits without significant architectural barriers.
Since it is in the heart of the tourist area, you have the La Paz boardwalk right in front of you with its famous sculptures. You will also find excellent seafood restaurants and craft shops just a few steps from the museum exit.
Make sure your phone is well charged for photos, as the giant skeletons are spectacular, and do not hesitate to ask the staff about rescue stories. To avoid missing any interesting details, enhance your tour with expert narration.
