Limited Access –
The SA Whale Centre is a heritage building, even the soot that coats our walls is heritage listed! Unfortunately steep stair cases and lack of an elevator means that the Centre is not accessible across all 3 floors and our heritage listing makes this difficult to change.
In an effort to ensure all guests are able to enjoy the Centres secrets, our range of tours are all available at a limited access rate. For more information on accessibility at the SA Whale Centre click here.
These tours take place on our ground floor, where guests will have access to a range of displays including our impressive Southern Right Whale Skull.
Tours are available 7 days a week (Excluding Christmas Day) 10.30am – 5.00pm.
*Tours are available outside of regular operating hours at request and for a nominal fee.*
