There's nothing ordinary about spending a day outdoors at the park when your destination is Virginia Beach's Great Neck Park. While planning a relaxing picnic lunch on a big blanket is a great idea, there is so much more here to experience. You can enjoy such activities as enjoying a game on one of the many ball fields, shoot hoops on one of the basketball courts, enjoy fun at the horseshoe pits, or enjoy a friendly game of volleyball. The kids will love the large playground areas, and there are sheltered pavilions and restrooms conveniently located throughout the park.

The two of you will enjoy escaping the present and journeying to Virginia Beach's dramatic past when you plan a romantic date at the Francis Land House Historic Site. This is a 200-year-old plantation home that has been restored down to the last detail and is open for guided tours and special events. Each room in the house is decorated to reflect the furniture and other items of the period, complete with stunning antiques and reproductions that offer visitors a rare opportunity to peer into how the gentry class of the area used to live.

Rev it up for a good time with the family when you make Virginia Beach's Motor World part of your plans. This is most definitely your attraction for racing, as this go-kart raceway and fun center features 11 race tracks as well as a staggering 250 karts from which to choose. Of course, safety is the top priority, but so is having a lot of memorable motorized fun. The park also features a plentiful concession stand and an area where mom and dad can relax while the kids go karting around the track!
