This whale is a part of the Children's Museum. Great place for the family and a staple in the town. Be sure to stop in for the museum, if not, West Hartford center is a walk away!

There is a lifesize concrete whale who sits in front of the Science Center of Ct. Built in the mid '70s and refurbished.
