My daughter and I travel almost two hours to visit every year for her birthday. There are so many types of life to see, and lots of exhibits. We enjoy the outside walk, as well. We will definitely be returning! I do recommend visiting during the week in the off-season, while school is in. It is a lot less busy!Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedYesPrice for adult entry$21–30
My family and I had a great experience at the Virginia Aquarium & Marine Science Center! We happened to be staying in Virginia Beach during our road trip and found the aquarium when looking for things to do in the area. We all love animals so naturally we wanted to go see the exotic sea animals at the aquarium! We purchased our tickets online through my husband since he is an active duty member and could get a discount $2 off adult and youth rates. So just a heads up if you are a military family, they do offer discounted rates! The aquarium is pretty big! The entrance is also located right by the gift shop in case you'd rather do your shopping beforehand. I noticed when going to aquariums or similar places, gift shops are more busy at the end of the day when people are leaving. They have all the typical items for sale toys, stuffed animals, aquarium merchandise, apparel etc. There's a bunch of animals to see at the aquarium! Starting with the seals that are in the front, one animal you don't have to pay to see! They're so adorable and really know how to put on a show. Inside they have a big selection of different fish, amphibians, sea turtles, sharks, sting rays you can pet them! etc. Prepare for a decent amount of walking since the place is huge! They also have an outdoor area that you can walk around and enjoy the river that runs alongside the aquarium. It was very relaxing to spend a moment enjoying the beautiful views. Overall I highly recommend taking your family here! Kids and adults will have a great time seeing all of the gorgeous animals they have.
Went the Friday after Thanksgiving. It was busy, but no wait and we didn't have to pay to park. Staff was friendly and everyone greeted you with a smile. The exhibits were great and there were plenty of areas to stop and take a break. My 3yr old grandson really enjoyed, especially with the sting rays and the turtles.Visited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedYes
I really enjoyed going to the aquarium for my first time. It was a night for VA BEACH employees and family. Everyone seemed to be really enjoying the evening. There was also cake and drink such as water and punch of some kind. The pictures and video say more than I can. Please enjoy and go for yourself soon.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedYesPrice for adult entry$21–30
What an awesome experience this aquarium is! We took our twin 6 year olds here for part of their Birthday and they very much enjoyed it. Staff at the various areas were extremely informative and it was very educational. Would definitely recommend this aquarium if you've never been. It took us approximately 60-90 minutes to do the entire experience but you could spend hours in there! So cool!
This is a very nice aquarium, friendly staff & helpful. As we walked through, the layout was really appealing & soothing. The exhibits we're well kept & staff stationed throughout to answer questions or offer interesting facts of the exhibits. The gift shop is really nice & stocked for all ages. It was a very nice family activity to spend a few hours exploring. Would highly recommend doing the Virginia Aquarium & Marine Science attraction. You do have to pay for parking. It was $5 & you may pay by an app on your phone or go to the kiosk to pay.
We purchased the Dolphin Cruise for our family of 5. We enjoyed taking the kids out on the intercostal waterway and the Atlantic ocean. It was really awesome to see the dolphins and to view Virgina Beach from the boat. I highly recommend this tour. The staff was engaging with everyone and there also is a nice little place inside to get drinks and snacks and cool off. There are bathrooms on this boat. Bring your camera so you can get some great photos and videos.
This aquarium was very informative with lots of exhibits ranging from marine life to geology. Staff was friendly and accommodating, including the Manta Ray mascot. Went when an elementary school was holding a field trip, so it was a bit chaotic, but generally had a great time.Visited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo
Quite literally a very old building, but I really enjoyed the features. It could be far more, but I assume they lack funding. Regardless, you’re coming to see the fish and whatnot, and they have plenty of it. Fun for kids without a doubt. Went with the family.
Felt very over crowded during the weekend. It is hard to view the smaller exhibits with 100 people in line behind you. Since it is mostly smaller exhibits we spent a lot of time waiting. We felt like we were in a really long, but cool amusement park line for the first half of our visit. In the future we will come on the slower weekdays so we can take our time a bit more. There was more to do, but it was too crowded to get near certain exhibits. We missed out on some things. Afterwards we enjoyed the nature walk and the kids climbed the tower and explored the paths. which was a bonus to the trip.
