Meet a 19-metre whale at Mornington Community House!

You'll never forget the day you met Wirake The Whale in this fun and interactive school holiday program from the Dolphin Research Institute

In this truly immersive activity, you will get to experience:

  • Marine educators from the Dolphin Research Institute taking you on a deeply engaging journey using artefacts such as bones and teeth, as well as some of their amazing research footage
  • Learn about whale biology, the history of the relationship between humans and whales, and present-day issues and actions to help these gentle giants
  • Take your learning to the next level and step inside Wirake, the 19-metre long inflatable Humpback Whale to appreciate how enormous these creatures really are!

    Please note:
  • This program is recommended for children aged 6-12 years
  • Children must be accompanied by a parent, guardian or carer for the duration of the activity
  • This activity will be held at The Studio @ Mornington Community House (the large hall attached to Mornington Community House at 91 Wilsons Road in Mornington). Staff will help to direct people on the day
  • Ticket sales will run until the event starts (unless allocation is exhausted earlier)

This special event is presented in partnership with the Dolphin Research Institute, Mornington Community House and the Mornington Peninsula Shire.
