  • Worth the time and money.
    By Jessica, 04/22/06
    If you enjoy aquariums you will like the Virginia Aquarium & Marine Science Center. It is not as big as aquariums in other large cities but it does have a lot of interactive exhibits. Pay the extra money to see the 3D IMAX film (especially the one narrated by Johnny Depp).

  • Aging Aquarium
    By DJ, 04/15/06
    This aquarium/musuem shows its age and it's not aging well. The sheer volume of kids must take it's toll, but it seems that the general state of disrepair for the aquarium was a bit extreme. Many Exhibits did not function. Although for a mid-size city the collection is good for educational and hands experience for the Kid's. Have seen many much better aquariums.

  • Go there every year and love it!
    By A Yahoo! Contributer, 11/02/05
    I love to pet the sting rays and I have always loved marine science. It is a wonderful place to go for all ages. I'm 21 and have loved to go there from when I was a little kid.

  • Great for kids and adults!
    By A Yahoo! Contributer, 09/26/05
    This is a great educational experience for the whole family. There are a lot of marine life on display. Most of which are live in their aquarium. There are several static displays for educational purposes. The best part of the museum is the chance to pet the stingrays.

    The only drawback is the long walk. The museum requires a lot of walking so on the positive note it's good exercise but may not be great for the little ones or elderly.

  • Great time for anyone!
    By Kim, 08/09/05
    My boyfriend and I are in our 20's and we went to the aquarium on a day we were both too sunburnt to be out in the sun. We had SUCH a good time! We loved the hands on activities with the sting rays and the bird exhibit they brought in. I'm very glad we went!

  • Make sure you spend an entire Day!
    By Sara, 07/06/05
    It takes a full day to experience everything the Marine Science Museum has to offer. Pet Rays, touch sea cucumbers watch otters play and more. A great stop on your vacation or if you're a local.
