Virginia Aquarium Family Great Adventure Series

The wildly-popular Virginia Aquarium Family Great Adventure Series is all about Discovery and Entertainment at the Virginia Beach oceanfront. On select nights from May through the end of August, families can take part in interactive adventures themed to popular movies. The adventure might lead you to various sites along the boardwalk or beach to unravel a mystery. Sometimes the adventure involves games and contests right on the beach. Dress up as your favorite character from the movies, compete for one of our trophies, and then settle into the sand for a family-friendly movie presented on a giant inflatable screen! All Family Great Adventures are free and everyone who participates gets a medal!
