Construction,noise and closure or removed displays made me feel like I didn't get my moneys worth. Baltimore National Aquarium is better. The nature trail and the second building with the otters and the sea horses was very nice. It was a nice 4 hours.

A Must See While at Virginia Beach
By Susan K, 05/25/08
Everyone that goes to Virginia Beach should also visit the museum. Not only do you have the opportunity to see all kinds of "ocean critters" there are also many "hands on" exhibits, etc. for family and children. There is also a boardwalk to view birds in an outside area around the museum. I NEVER get tired of going there. Educational and FUN!

Not so great....
By THE Princezz, 03/29/08
I try to go to every aquarium when visiting out of state. This is by far the worst one I have ever been to. It is under construction but I don't even think that is going to help. There's the main aquarium then you go outside and walk about 2 miles down a nature path to another building. It's way to far. There's no shuttle or ...

Not what I expected
By A Yahoo! Contributer, 03/27/08
Not many exhibits. Would be good if you have nothing else to do (which I would find hard to believe) on a rainy day. I have been to better places near where I live in Ohio.

Loved it
By A Yahoo! Contributer, 03/24/08
Loved the cleanliness (even though it is under construction). The staff was so knowledgable and very information and patient when our kids asked a lot of questions. There is a lot of interaction with the Sting rays and exhibits. Great value. The nature walk is a little long, but other than that, this was a great day for our family.

A great Museum Under Construction
By rfb.three, 02/21/08
It is true that the Museum has been under construction for a while, but that is because they are improving it! It's still a great museum with a lot to do and it's a lot of fun.

Very Dissapointed
By Dar, 02/15/08
Went to visit there ,, 1st and last time. The price's were o.k. but the Aquarium is under construction STILL,, peeling paint, dirty carpets, etc. Was really dissapointed w/lack of things to see and the smaller of the 2 buidings isn't even worth visiting. Staff was friendly - though I would say don't waste your time.

Best afternoon spent w/family
By mommapiep, 01/14/08
This place was perfect to take the family for a relaxed , fun day. Lots ot see and beautiful nature walks. Grandkids loved the sharks and turtles! This was the best spent money while at the beach!
I was 7 months pregnant when we visited, thank goodness for the complimentary wheel chairs. We really enjoyed our time there. Favorite thing was the stingray interaction.

It was OK Rate it a 6
By A Yahoo! Contributer, 12/09/07
The best thing about the Aquarium was the Sting Ray petting center. There was construction going on so half of the exhibits where closed. Also there is a long walk to the other part of the exhibits. The price was good.
