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.

The Children's Museum of Virginia offers entertaining fun for all ages. While the focus of many of the exhibits and attractions are geared toward educating kids about the arts and sciences, bigger kids (including mom and dad) will no doubt enjoy experiencing the various activities that the venue offers. Some of the many highlights include interactive exhibits about paleontology, dental hygiene, nutrition, art, music, communications technology, sculpture and much more. For more interactive fun, the little ones will jump at the chance to get on board the kid-sized submarine, lobster boat and space shuttle. And even the smaller children won't be left out, as there is an excellent hands-on section for toddlers.

Put the pedal to the metal and rev your engine up to enjoy some great fun at American Indoor Karting. This recreation venue features state-of-the-art European racing machines that you can drive on a track that features as many challenges as it does memorable moments. Safety is the top priority, but you will surely want to feel the roar of the engines (and the adrenaline rush) of taking to the track at top speed!
