We loved the Virginia Living Museum. We were amazed at the variety and diversity of animals native to Virginia. The museum is not just a museum, it is also a zoo and aquarium all in one. We were so impressed that when our visit was over we turned in our day pass toward the purchase of an annual pass. We will definitely be back!

Wonderful place with much to see. However the food cafe was closed but there was supposed to be food trucks. None. We feed a very hungry group with crackers from gift shop. I would make sure there is food available on the day you visit.

A nice place to visit, however, many of the exhibits were under renovation, not a smart idea in the middle of summer when a lot of people would visit. What we did see, we enjoyed, we spent several hours here. Very informative.
