Winter Nature Nights at Virginia Living Museum (Newport News)
December 19, 2025 @ 5:30 pm - 8:15 pm
Celebrate this season at the Virginia Living Museums Winter Nature Nights!
Take an enchanting evening stroll along our lighted outdoor trail, where sparkling displays bring the beauty of nature to life after dark. Warm up with hot chocolate and cookie decorating in the Cafe, enjoy a festive story walk along the Dino Trail with How Do Dinosaurs Say Merry Christmas?, and play holiday-themed games like Peppermint Connect Four and Snowball Cornhole on the lawn. Inside the Goodson House, capture the magic of the season with a photo-op with Santa, then head to the Education Center to experience dazzling planetarium shows.
Dont forget to stop by the Education Lobby to write a heartfelt letter to Santa and explore the museums beautifully decorated interior. With lights, laughter, and holiday cheer around every corner, Winter Nature Nights is the perfect way to celebrate with family and friends.
