This series has changed from “Places I want to visit when I move to Virginia” to “Places I want to visit when I have time and money now that I live in Virginia”. But, the idea is still the same. 🙂 I will report on all of these places when I finally get to go to them.

At just over 2.5 hours away (Virginia Beach), a trip to the Virginia Aquarium will be an all-day affair. Or perhaps a weekend event. However, I’m excited to have a decent sized aquarium within driving distance.

The Virginia Aquarium seems like it must be pretty big (despite the appearance of the entrance). They have a couple of uniquely themed exhibits (such as the Mediterranean Sea) that I look forward to exploring. They also have a 3D theater.
If you’ve been to the Virginia Aquarium feel free to leave some tips in the comments. Or perhaps recommendations of other nearby attractions.

I’m glad you shared this! Tommy’s family lives in VA Beach so I’ll have to make sure we check this out if we ever manage to visit them lol

As far as other things to do in the area, there’s a waterfront area that’s supposed to be pretty neat. I think there’s also a lighthouse or two nearby. You might like False Cape State Park. It’s supposed to be pretty with neat trails.
