Virginia Marine Science Museum - user review
A very well presented aquatic museum with lots of different water life exhibits. The exhibit of horseshoe crabs and starfish is very educational as well as exciting for the children to be able to touch these creatures. This exhibit is manned by museum employees or volunteers who oversea the experien...

Virginia Marine Science Museum - user review
The Marine Science museum is an easy drive from Virginia Beach, but you could also take a trolley. You would have to change trolleys, but the trolley operators are very helpful. The main focus of the museum is to educate the public about Virginia's marine environment. There are more than 800,000 gal...

Virginia Marine Science Museum - user review
We parked in the south lot and went in through The Owls Creek Marsh Pavilion. Parking was easy. There were 5 or 6 display areas in this building and the building connected to the aviary. There were some 25 varieties of birds in the aviary. A 1/3 mile nature trail connects this building with the main...

Virginia Beach - expert review
If you are on vacation with the idea of just lolling around on a delightful stretch of sand under a colorful umbrella, soaking up the sunshine and indulging in one of the famous, local Blizzard ice cream cones, then Virginia Beach is for you. If you are a birdwatcher, camper, nature lover, history b...

The Virginia Marine Science Museum is a really fun place to visit, and therefore really popular. The first time we visited the museum, it was Christmas break and there were not so many visitors, which was good as the volunteers had spent a lot of time, one-on-one, explaining about the snakes, the fi...

The Virginia Marine Science Museum - user review
The Virginia Marine Science Museum is an all-day excursion. When you first walk up to the entrance, you know you will be in for a big treat because your kids will immediately run to see the harbor seals playing in a tank outside of the front doors. When you go inside you can get a ticket for just th...
