If you do whale watching tour, which I highly recommend, then you will get 10-20% discount for this museum and some restaurants. This is worth it. They have free filter coffee inside.

The museum was closed when we stopped, but fortunately we could still walk around the grounds and see the building from the outside. It's right off the highway, so it is definitely worth a stop to see.
