Immerse yourself in the fascinating world of the whales!
In Tadoussac, step inside the Marine Mammal Interpretation Centre (CIMM) and discover whales as you have never seen them before.
Encounter a North Atlantic right whale and a 13-metre (40-foot) sperm whale as you explore one of the largest collections of whale skeletons in North America. Through videos, sound recordings, games and interactive installations, discover the secrets of these impressive marine mammals.
Participate in “Window on Belugas,” a unique activity that lets you watch exclusive drone footage captured by GREMM researchers. This is a great way to learn more about the belugas of the St. Lawrence.
Our specialists are available on site to share their knowledge and answer all your questions. In addition, by purchasing items at the gift shop, you are directly supporting the GREMM’s research and outreach activities.
A visit to the Marine Mammal Interpretation Centre (CIMM) is a must and a perfect complement to a whale-watching cruise!
