The New Bedford Whaling Museum is the hub for science lovers, whale skeletons, historical and cultural exhibits, the country’s longest painting, and things for kids to do galore, making it a great place to spend a long weekend or winter break afternoon. Even if you’ve visited before, the Museum just reopened their Cook Memorial Theater, and it’s now updated to show visually stunning 20-minute 3D movies. Kicking off their immersive theater experience, Big Blue Pictures, are Oceans: Our Blue Planet and Antarctica: On the Edge. With daily film showings and recyclable 3D glasses, it brings a uniquely educational form or entertainment to the region and it’s the first (and only) 3D theater on the SouthCoast.
