Education

Let's learn about whales and dolphins!

WDC's education and outreach team visit classrooms and community events to talk with people about the important role whales play in our ocean ecosystem. We often bring Delilah, our life-sized inflatable right whale to meet new faces and give people the unique experience of going inside a whale!

We offer in-person or virtual presentations that you can bring to your classroom or your event.

Contact us for program details and pricing.
