Great family Museum

Published on Oct, 2023

Nice museum even when it rains! We enjoyed our trip to this museum Lots if hands on exhibits for families and many opportunities for children Our grand daughter (4yrs) enjoyed putting on butterfly wings and traveling through an obstacle course (an indoor activity) When the rain stopped we walked on the board walk through the beautiful wooded area to the dinosaur park! It was really nice even though it was wet. Loved the informational stops on the boardwalk including the wingspan of an eagle. Indoors there was a great area showcasing the flora fauna and animals of VA including a great aquarium. They did not forget an area showcasing the caves of Va . The Vet area for the babies and toddlers was really a nice hands on exhibit. The ordering on line was great. Since this was a fall excursion, the place was not as crowded as I would imagine a spring or summer crowd might be. The timed entrance was easy and we got in very quickly so we could enjoy our visit.Great visit really easy to see in a morning or afternoon visit.

Rainy Day Fun

Super Fun

Published on Apr, 2023

This place was super awesome. Went there about a month ago in Match during reptile weekend or something. It was my first time there. A lot of cool exhibits to look at. Loved going outside to see the red wolves and the bobcat. The huge tanks were super pretty to look at as well. My favorites were the fox, wolves, eel, giant ispod, and the lion fish. The gift shop has pretty good prices and cool items to buy. Overall a 5/5 experience will be going again :)
