A reviewed foundation built from official sources. Traveler edits are checked before publication.
Current closures, construction or special operation can override the regular table.
Check the live calendar when Monday is a public holiday.

A museum visit is not a live-whale encounter and does not include a sea-cruise sighting.
The wider special zone has multiple entrances and ticket desks; route to the museum itself.
Do not infer entry or opening from physical proximity.
It does not prove today's gallery access, combination-ticket availability, exhibit condition or queue.
Checked August 30, 2026. Recheck current hours, admission, closures and transport before travel.
The place coordinate is exact; use the named gate, parking area or accessible entrance for the final route.
DAY-OF PLAN
The current tourism record lists last admission thirty minutes before closing. Exhibits, shop and neighbouring products can wind down on different schedules.
The museum lists Monday plus Seollal and Chuseok day closures. A public-holiday Monday or maintenance notice needs a fresh operator check.
The Whale Museum, Ecology Experience Center, 4D theatre, naval ship, Old Village, monorail and cruise are separate visit products.
MAKE A HALF-DAY OF IT
A reconstructed whaling-port neighbourhood inside the much larger Jangsaengpo Whale Culture Special Zone; the old village, Whale Museum, Ecology Experience Center, Ulsan naval ship, cruise, monorail, culture warehouse, media art and rides are separate products, so choose a ticket and route before arrival and never treat a cultural-village visit as a guaranteed wild-whale sighting.
