Just last month, Virginia Beach’s largest attraction – The Virginia Aquarium & Marine Science Center opened its new $25 million Restless Planet renovation, featuring 12,000 square feet of spectacular new habitats, exhibits and aquariums. Home to 6,000 new animals and 367 new species – including Komodo dragons, exotic cobras, hedgehog and more, Restless Planet has more than doubled the Aquarium’s animal collection. Guests can experience four immersive habitats from around the world that existed in Virginia millions of years ago and engage in 36 new hands-on activities designed to demonstrate the processes that shaped Virginia’s current landscape.
Aside from entertaining exhibits, meeting planners will delight in the Virginia Aquarium’s versatility as a unique meeting venue for parties, special events, business functions and more. From an intimate, sit-down dinner for 20 of your closest friends to a cocktail reception for 2,000 convention attendees, the Virginia Aquarium can accommodate any event.
