Your student group will have lots to learn in Virginia Beach! They can visit some great naval or maritime oriented museums and even enjoy a ride on the American Rover!
The East Coast is a hub for aquatic adventure, and the best way to get started is with a trip to the beach! Beach Eco Tours promotes stand up paddle boarding tours with no experience necessary! Pick your own snack on a horse farm at Beatson's Blueberries and head out to Chesapeake Bay Center where their main concern is educating the public on environmental awareness. Intertwined with the Virginia Aquarium and Marine Science Center, your group can expect the best.
Sunny days call for souvenir beach photos, frozen yogurt and the Virginia Living Museum in Newport News just down the road! Eyeless fish, endangered wolves, dinosaur fossils and everything in between are topped off with indoor, changing and outdoor exhibits, a state of the art planetarium, a garden, behind the scenes tours and so on!
Also along the mouth of Chesapeake Bay your team can participate in go karting or horseback riding on the beach in your downtime between exploring plantations and lighthouses. At the brick Ferry Plantation House you will get a real taste of the old south in the 1600s. However, an unsettling legend resides as well. Locals say the Witch of Purgo, tried by water at this site, has haunted the property since the 1700s.
