Instead of taking the family out to a movie or the mall, why not opt for an evening of great live theater? You won't have to go far to find quality entertainment when you make Theatre IV your destination. This is the second largest children's theater in the nation in attendance, and that distinction only drives this nonprofit, professional theater to continue to excel in its performances.

Is your child curious about the world and wants to know how things work? Then he or she will totally enjoy a trip to the Science Museum of Virginia. Several exhibits and attractions are interactive, and inquisitive minds will love learning about electricity, computers, astronomy and much more. Plus, the whole family will feel like space travelers while watching the show at the Ethyl Universe Planetarium and Space Theater. Don't be surprised if the kids want to keep coming back to this fun and educational venue as they continue their quest for learning how everything works.
