Tradition and art are dramatically combined at the Chrysler Museum of Art. This is one of the country's most lauded museums, and with good reason. The facility is home to over 30,000 pieces of art that are presented over the course of 55 impressive galleries. See stunning works by everyone from Rembrandt to Lichtenstein as you stroll from exhibit to exhibit. The museum also features an impressive library, charming gift shop and excellent restaurant.

Instead of the usual, opt for an evening of class (and classics) by planning to see a performance of the Virginia Symphony Orchestra. Founded in 1920, these musicians carry on the impressive tradition of musical excellence with every piece of music they bring to life. The orchestra also maintains a busy schedule, as they present over 140 performances a year that include classical masterworks, pops, family, and dance series. Also, there are outdoor concerts that take place during the spring and fall months.

Go on a safari-type adventure when you visit the Virginia Zoo in Norfolk. The facility's mission of education, recreation and conservation is communicated through every animal exhibit and information station that you'll find throughout this impressive venue. In addition to stunning specimens of lions, tigers, giraffes and kangaroos, the zoo also works hard to offer several activities for the kids as well as fun seasonal events that the whole family will enjoy.
