A single tree offers a great place to relax and commune with nature. But at the Chesapeake Arboretum, there are so many trees that your senses will be overwhelmed–but in a good way! This 47-acre garden features a staggering number of trees and also does an admirable job of championing the importance of environmental awareness through various exhibits and attractions. The Chesapeake Arboretum originally opened its doors in 1996 and has been welcoming hundreds of visitors on a regular basis ever since.

The art of putting on a great show is something that is always being practiced and improved upon at the New Theatre of Chesapeake. This is an impressive entertainment venue that features the work of the city's premier professional theater organization. While the main focus of this group is musical theater, they also present an interesting variety of other productions throughout the season. You will not be disappointed when you are a part of the many great on-stage moments that these talented local and regional performers consistently deliver.
