Kingumar October 7, 2010 Author Share October 7, 2010 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bankyf October 7, 2010 Share October 7, 2010 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. 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.

davelin315 October 8, 2010 Share October 8, 2010 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
