The convenient location in the southwestern corner of the state makes it easily accessible to almost anyone.Residents from over two-thirds of the country can travel there in under a day,making it great for a weekend trip or an extended stay.

Love the Moment- Kid Style by spending a day zipping down the slides at the Ocean Breeze Water Park or  viewing the amazing animals at the famous Virginia Aquarium.Both attractions are sure to please any little traveler and provide you with a great family memory too.Take the whole family for a day at the beautiful beaches diving in the depths,surfing the waves or pier fishing in the Atlantic.For those that like a little more adventure,visitors can try going kayaking with the dolphins or parasailing over the ocean.


Even the rainy days can't get you down in Virginia Beach.Spend the day indoors shopping at the over 180 stores in the Lynnhaven Mall or soak up the culture of the Contemporary Art Center.Just because it is your vacation doesn't mean you can't get a little physical at fun-filled Laser Quest or the Virginia Beach Rock Gym too.
