Green & White Checker Cabs

The Norva, one of Norfolk's favorite places to see cutting edge live music, started out as a movie palace and vaudeville house in the 1920s. This entertainment venue is a three-story, state-of-the-art music lovers' paradise, as it can accommodate 1,500 people while still allowing every audience member a great view of the musical action taking place on stage. The schedule of performances is busy, so make sure to check the website before venturing out.

Set 'em up for a great game of bowling at AMF Norfolk Lanes. It's fun for the whole family! Play a few frames while the kids enjoy state-of-the-art gaming in the impressive arcade. Great munchies are available at the concession stand, so you can keep your energy level up to keep knocking those pins down.

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.

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.
