went in to check it out and stayed 2 hours. the films are first class and the exhibits are wonderful. you wont be sorry

We certainly learned a lot about whaling. Nice small museum. Allow one hour to tour, more if you attend a lecture.

Nantucket's Whaling Museum is definitely worth exploring. The island's history, its Quaker roots and its economic rise and fall are expertly explained with videos and displays. Who knew that the Macy and Folger families were from Nantucket? Perhaps even more interesting are the artifacts related to the whaling industry, which was the source of Nantucket's wealth in the 19th century.... More

We also met both our Nantucket Historical society walking tours at the museum. Well worth the time!!!

My daughter and I visited Nantucket recently and found this museum to be absolutely fascinating. The rise and fall of the whaling industry was a huge factor in the history of this island. We stayed here at least an hour longer than expected --- it's a great stop for first-time visitors to Nantucket.

Brings you back in time when Nantucket was the whaling center of the world. Thoroughly intriguing, I highly recommend to any 1st time visitor to Nantucket!

Ok nothing special glad it's there I guess went on a suggestion I could have found better things to do with my time

This state-of-the-art museum has all of the history with contemporary bells and whistles to capture the attention of visitors of all ages. A great introduction to the island and worthy of repeating. The museum shop is a must!

This is a "Must" while in Nantucket. Helps you to understand the real Nantucket, how it has grown and changed. Plus, it has the best view of Nantucket from the roof deck. Staff is wonderful.
