Being in VA Beach, we couldn’t miss the opportunity to visit the Virginia Aquarium. The complex has marine life exhibits, aquariums, touching tanks, historical exhibits, nature trails, boat tours and more. There are 2 buildings and a nature walk in between them where you pass by an adventure/obstacle course and an aviary. The birds are mostly varieties that are found in and around the Chesapeake Bay, and are a part of the wetland ecosystem.
