Within the Whale: Spring Break Edition!

Back by popular demand! Within the Whale proved to be so popular that the Boothbay Region Land Trust has teamed up with our partners, Bigelow Laboratory for Ocean Sciences and Boothbay Harbor Memorial Library, to bring the whale back! With over 300 people attending the first Within the Whale program in February, not everyone had the chance to step inside of the life-sized inflatable humpback. “Chunk” will return to the Boothbay region to give those who missed out the opportunity to experience an unforgettable journey inside a whale. In order to avoid long waits and disappointment, this second event will require guests to register for a specific timed-entry.

Experience science in a spectacular way by stepping inside “Chunk,” a life-size, inflatable humpback whale, and embark on an immersive journey through the wonders of whale anatomy and ocean ecology. This unique experience is part of the nationally recognized Within the Whale program, designed and guided by award-winning wildlife educator Jessica Woodend, creator of this one-of-a-kind marine science adventure.

Inside the whale, participants of all ages will explore 3D anatomical features and learn engaging facts about humpbacks and marine ecosystems — a perfect blend of fun and science that connects people directly with the ocean world.

This event is free but registration is required below to schedule your timed entry inside the whale.
