Find information on camp programs at The Virginia Living Museum on this link.

The museum exhibits are well curated. Informational, educational, and engaging. The live animals were plentiful, including turtles, seahorse, snakes, giant fish and more in enormous aquariums and specialized exhibits including a touch tank. They had a childrens science 'research canter' that was packed with things to explore and do. It was staffed by a Biologist who works to engage the kids in learning crafts and activities, encouraging conservation and responsibly enjoying nature, answering many questions along the way too.
Downstairs, a veterinary clinic play center was fully stocked with x rays, full (play) hospital set up, (play) kitchen for preparing the animals food, kennels, a library of children's books on animals and care- the works.
There are outdoor exhibits of the local fish and wildlife, as well as trails leading out around the river, and to the Wildlife Rehab and care center. Visitors can see any procedures being done, Keeper talks and presentations, and see the many critters that have received care. On the trails, native animals who have been rescued and cant be released to the wild can be seen in natural living enclosures off the raised boardwalk trails that are well tended, and accessible for people of all ages and ability levels, including mobility differences.
They have several areas for kids off the outdoor trails. A amall sensory and children's garden & play area, and a HUGE Dinosaur trail play and learning area. The Dinosaur Trail area is set up as a paleontologist camp. Dig and excavate Dinosaurs bones/fossil (reproductions) with brushes, Climb a tree house or play on slack rope toys, climb dinosaur reproductions and use a life size Allosaur rib cage as a jungle gym, interactively hear Dinosaur sounds... My child could go there once a week just to play at the Dinosaur area, and see the animals on the trails.
Surprisingly engaging, relatively inexpensive. If youre a local, take every visitor, every child in the family, and go anytime, and definitely buy a season pass. Note, the planetarium is only open on the weekends.
The otter was definitely the star of the show though ????????
Even before we had children, my husband and I always had a fantastic time visiting.
With children and it's obviously such a great place to go and explore.
Every time you're there, there's always a hidden corner to find a new activity to keep the kids busy.
Nora is a favorite of ours, but all of the animals have a special place in our heart.
