Virginia Aquarium & Marine Science Center

Great Aquarium otter exhibit was incredible. The aquarium has two buildings joined by a trail on the trail there's an adventure park with ziplines , tight walks, and other obstacles.

My 15-month-old loves it. Places to stash a stroller in most rooms so he could get out and see things. It's not the biggest (I grew up in Baltimore) but worth the admission.

Go when it opens if it is raining or else you'll be standing in line forever. If you get there & the line for Ocean pavilion is crazy long go to the Marsh pavilion and buy your tickets and enter there

We took our family here and the kids had a great time learning. Very interactive and fun place to visit.

Very nice place...we really enjoyed it! Use the shuttle to get to both buildings or they have a nature trail you can take which was nice.

They have a lot of cool animals and fish ! There are very neat things for sale in the gift shops too!

Great for a toddlers as the exhibits are low enough for them to get a good view

Stop and pet the stingrays !!

Best turtle collection!! Five different Turtles and some baby turtles as well . Love it

A great place to visit. Especially if it's hot during the day. Then you can go to the beach .

This aquarium is all right. The tickets are expensive and they don't have a good selection of animals. Definitely seen better

Give yourself 2-3 hours to explore both buildings.

So many interactive things for kids to do. The staff is very knowledgeable .

Wonderful place! All the exhibits and activities are well worth the cost of admission.

Be sure to check out the whale-watching cruises , offered late December through March! You'll probably see some humpbacks (Megaptera novaeangliae) !

Great place for family and kids! Love the turtles ! ????

Very good aquarium ! The otters are adorable!! So are the sea horses!

Awesome place, Tara care of animals, pleasantly surprised

Jellyfish and fish petting areas, Adventure Park play area !

Admission is high for how big it is, but my 2-year-old loved it.

Sting rays were not cooperating with us petting them but still had a great time with the family!!

View the seals out front for free!

No discounts unless you are Active Duty Military , but if you're planning to spend all day it is worth the price of admission.

Had a great day here experienced new things I didn't in other aquariums ....fun time

AMAZING! Loved this place.

Awesome! Get a membership and go all year!

Good food at cafe , take the nature walk

make sure you check out the sea otters in the other building!! too cute for words!!

If you want to be a member do it before 4:30, that's when they close the registers and will be unable to use the money spent on admission towards the fee.

Always a great place to visit but especially on rainy days.

Behind the scenes tour fills up fast but is worth the extra $$

Be sure to stop by Osprey cafe for a quick bite .

Nice aquarium a little to pricey though.

Check out a movie at the imax theater . Well worth the additional price.

There are komodo dragons. 'Nuff said.

This is a great aquarium so much to see!

All the things

Great place to have fun with ur family

Behind the scene tour is worth it!

Very exciting & educational for kids ....

Fun had by all!

It is a very nice aquarium , but it was a little pricey . Even understanding maintenance costs, I just thought that there would be more interactive activities for the kids.

Renovations were nice. Expected much more though.

See the Coral reef film

Ahhhh.... this is a must see aquarium not far from the oceanfront .

The nature walk is way longer than expected.

Overpriced for what you get. Man, the sea others weren't even available and that's the only reason I went. Did they say that? No.

I was underwhelmed. I expected more.
