is that a store or a museum kind of thing?

im looking for a marine museum, somewhere you can spend a day or half a day.

ill be going with a really big group of people, including kids.

 

I was looking into the Virginia Aquarium & Marine Science Center. Is that worth it?

It has been a few years since I have been down, but I love Nauticus in Norfolk. Not so much an aquarium, but I believe they call it a "celebration of the ocean". There are a few tanks, but much more other stuff to see like ships and just about anything having to do with the ocean. You could easily spend a half day and not be bored.

What about the NADC. You could spend half a day marveling at all the algae.

The Virginia Marine Science Museum in Va Beach is worth going to.

If you are heading to Virginia Beach the aquarium is worth it. I was just down there with the kids a month ago and they loved it.
