We are thrilled to announce that the renovations at Blue Whale Park will begin soon! Because of upcoming construction, the Blue Whale gift shop has been relocated to the D.W. Correll Museum at 19934 E. Pine St. in Catoosa.

The gift shop/museum hours are Tuesdays and Thursdays 11:00am – 7:00pm and Wednesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays 10:00am – 5:00pm.

There will be no restroom facilities available at Blue Whale Park during renovations. As the park will be an active construction site, please use caution when visiting the Blue Whale.

We are excited to begin the next chapter in the Blue Whale's journey and we are glad you will be taking it with us!
