The Whale Center in Langley gives visitors and residents a chance to learn more about the endangered Southern Resident orcas who visit the area each fall/winter, and about the North Puget Sound Gray Whales, a small, unique population of Gray whales who find sustenance in the waters of Saratoga Passage and Possession Sound each March - May.

Spend time in the gift shop area to browse the wealth of merchandise available. Kids will love the marine-themed stuffed animals that they can cuddle with after they leave. For the adults, pick up jewelry, apparel, books and DVDs to learn even more about what you've seen at the Center.

The Langley Whale Centre is a wonderful spot to learn more about whales. Especially our local Orcas that are in dire straights. The staff members are knowledgeable and forthcoming with info on our local populations and sightings of the pods. Interesting displays and bones. Recommend a stop

Fun Place, Lots of Interesting Things to See! I am a big whale enthusiast and was excited when we drove by this Center while in Langley. My family and I enjoyed all the cool things to look at. The women working there were so sweet, friendly, and knowledgeable. Both my boys were so excited to find some cute whale stuffed animals in the gift shop side of the store.

This is a good place for the kiddos. Most of the time I find the local museum or themed stores that say "Whales" or similar to be snooty and over the top preachy. Not here. This place is exactly what we all need to foster the conservation of nature, in this case whales. They are low key and inviting. Come see the whale skulls and visit the gift shop.

We love the Langley Whale Center and have stopped by every trip to Whidbey for years. Tons of information about whales, some interesting artifacts, pamphlets you can pick up, souvenir options to buy... Relaxed atmosphere staffed with very friendly local naturalists and whale experts. Definitely worth stopping by for friends and families alike!
