With more than 800,000 gallons of fresh and saltwater aquarium displays, the Virginia Aquarium and Marine Science Center is a wonderful place to learn about the world's diverse range of marine life.

Exhibits are housed in two main buildings; the Bay and Ocean Pavilion features aquatic animals that live in Chesapeake Bay, in the waters off the coast of Virginia, and in various other coastal habitats around the world, while the Marsh Pavilion is primarily home to marsh creatures. In addition to the marine exhibits, there's also an aerial adventure park where visitors can walk and zipline through the treetops near the Marsh Pavilion.
