New Bedford Whaling Museum

Rich in history, a fantastic place to spend the day. I think they close fairly early but the second Thursday of every month is called Aha! Thursday and a lot of New Bedford is opened late, with discounts offered or even free. On Aha! Thursday, the Whaling Museum is opened till 8pm and is free. No excuse to miss it then!

Whale Below Window - very cool, quaint museum in a town time forgot. Cobble stone streets, harbor, whaling lore abound. New Bedford MA. July 2016

Outstanding. Definitely the best hotel I have ever stayed at and I've been all over the world. The hotel room was perfect but what shined was the impeccable service. The Boston Harbor Hotel had an amazing staff who were personable, always available and willing to assist in any way. Truly a gem.
