As the two of you take a leisurely stroll from gallery to gallery on a romantic date at the Chrysler Museum of Art in Virginia Beach, you will be struck by the sheer depth and breadth of the various pieces that are presented here. The facility has attracted much attention for its incredible collections, and some of the many highlights include a Tiffany glass collection, a gallery of impressionist paintings as well as 15 different visiting exhibits.

There are predictable dinner theaters and then there's the out-of-bounds entertainment that you and your family will experience when you are in the audience for Angelo's Murder Mystery Dinner Theater. With a 13-year backlog of memorable performances, this team of actors, directors and crew have been proud to continue the tradition of being Virginia Beach's original comedy/murder mystery company. Audiences love it for many reasons. Not only do you get a chance to see the work of some of the finest actors in the area, you will also become a part of the production as the performance becomes interactive. The characters variously include audience members to help solve the mystery, often leading to amusing results. The performances are all family friendly, so make it an evening out for the whole clan.

Virginia Beach's Old Coast Guard Station has an interesting past. It was founded as a Life Saving Station in 1903 and then became a Coast Guard Station from 1915 until 1969. The structure sat idle for ten years and faced demolition but was rescued by financial backers who then turned it into the historic facility that it is today. This fascinating maritime museum not only chronicles its own history with various presentations about the Coast Guard, but it also offers many interactive exhibits and attractions that detail the mission of the brave men and women whose job it was to protect, serve and search and rescue those in distress.
