Excellent museum within walking distance of the port. Beautifu historic building, with excellent sea displays. the building is just beautiful, with narrow doorways, a fantastic staircase, and lovely floors. The man in the booth was very welcoming and we had to write where we were from in the visitors book, but the visit was free. Well worth the short walk from the port if you visit Puerto Madryn

Spent a pleasant Saturday travelling from Esquel on return journey. Although commentary was in Spanish the hostess provided us with an informative short audio guide in English and checked we were OK a number of times during the journey. Get to the station early and walk over to the engine shed and watch the engine being prepared -photos without the crowds too! No problem climbing into engine for photos either. Very helpful pleasant crew. At turnaround station we went into the dining car and shared an excellent toasted sandwich and homemade lemon pie served by a charming young lady. Delicious. A really good excursion.

Located on a cliff overlooking the Patagonian Sea, this small museum offers a different approach to understanding the Valdes Peninsula and Patagonia. It combines art and science in many educational ways with emphasis on the understanding and appreciation of the area. Marine life, geography, ecosystems, ocean currents, evolution and more are woven into various presentations. There is much to be learned about the Southern Right Whale even to experiencing their underwater sounds. Interactive exhibits and children’s areas are good for the kids. Be sure to go up in the lighthouse tower for some good views and possible sightings of whales. The little artificial tidal pool houses a variety of invertebrates. Staff is fluent in English, and signs are also in English which is very helpful. Check on the times the museum is open because they seem to vary. There is both shuttle and bus service from town, but again, check on the times. Admission is somewhere between $6-8 US and the museum is non-profit. Nice little library, cafe and gift shop too.
