The Virginia Aquarium & Marine Science Center offers visitors not only a chance to get familiar with some of the ocean's most amazing creatures, but to also get closer to them. In addition to offering various seasonal whale and dolphin watching tours, the facility also provides something even more unique. When the aquarium's researchers bring back the assorted haul of various fish and invertebrates from their latest deep sea collection trips, you can be there to see what unusual creatures they have brought back for further study. There is also an opportunity to take a pontoon trip around the Owls Creek Salt Marsh. Let your imagination be stirred by not only the many creatures and exhibits at the aquarium, but also by the science and oceanic-themed features that are available here. Not only will you gain a deeper knowledge and appreciation for the many forms of underwater life that you will experience here, you will also be impressed with the theater's cutting edge presentation and sound.

Treat your sweetie to a day at the beach that isn't filled with the challenge of fighting the crowds and all the stress that goes with it. Instead, plan to spend a relaxing day on a romantic date at First Landing Cross. The area is also known as Chesapeake Beach and you can comfortably stretch out on your beach blanket to sunbathe, take in the scenery or swim in the protected shallow waters.

Graceful movement, dramatic staging and sweeping music all combine to create the art of an unforgettable performance, which is the benchmark of the Conservatory Of Dance. The ballet was established in 1975 and has been preserving the art of classical ballet and dance entertainment in Virginia Beach ever since. The group is a forum in which aspiring dancers can develop their talents as well as work toward being a part of the group that stages various productions throughout the year. These performances are funded in part by the City of Virginia Beach in cooperation with the Virginia Beach Arts and Humanities Commission and the Virginia Beach Foundation.
