Top landmarks in New Bedford

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!

Learn more about New Bedford

Dive into America's whaling past at the New Bedford Whaling Museum, where massive whale skeletons and scrimshaw artifacts tell tales of maritime glory. Once the 'richest city in the world' thanks to whale oil, this historic port now offers harbor tours showcasing centuries-old lighthouses. The Whaling National Historic Park preserves the seafaring heritage that inspired Melville's 'Moby-Dick.' Frederick Douglass once found refuge here among fellow abolitionists. Today's working waterfront boasts America's most valuable fishing fleet, with fresh seafood practically jumping onto plates. For a change of pace, visit the Art Museum or catch a performance at the Zeiterion Theatre. Buttonwood Park Zoo offers family-friendly encounters with creatures considerably more docile than Moby Dick.
