Wilma the Whale

Let Your Imagination Have a Whale of a Time

About the exhibit

Meet Wilma the Whale, affectionately known as Big Blue, a gentle giant who invites children to dive into the fascinating world of whales through play and discovery.

More than just fun and games, this awe-inspiring blue whale exhibit features an interactive touchscreen and migration challenge that teaches kids all about whale biology, behaviors, and ocean journeys. Along the way, children explore the importance of marine conservation and life beneath the waves.

Complete your Big Blue adventure by sliding through Wilma's baleen into Discovery Cove, a cozy under-the-pier hideout where you can listen to whale songs and imagine the deep-sea world that Wilma calls home.
