Virginia Beach is a county-level city in the Hampton Roads region of Virginia, United States. It lies on the Chesapeake Bay and the Atlantic Ocean. With a population of 459,470, it is the largest city in Virginia and the 43rd largest city in the United States.
There are so many great things to look at and there is a wonderful gift shop. Everyone who worked there was very nice and competent. We parked in the mall's parking garage and spent three hours between visiting the museum and eating at the food court. It does cost to park in the garage but we were there for 3 hours and it only cost us $1, not bad at all. We could easily have spent the whole day there if we had taken the time to look around. It really is a great place and to top it off everything is free to the public and very well maintained. I'm really looking forward to coming back and seeing a performance of "Iwo Jima" in their theater space.
On the weekends you could arrive before sunrise and get some amazing sunrise photos of the beach and the dolphins. The Neptune statue is magnificent and worth taking photos with.
