3 Best Places To See in Virginia Beach, VA

What an awesome experience for plane or history lovers! I brought my great nephews, the older a fan of WWII history. He wanted to see some of the planes he read about. He loved it all! The collection itself was impressive. This is a well run museum. The gentlemen working were all so knowledgeable and enjoyed being there. From what we were told they have some great events and fly some of the planes regularly. Highly recommend visiting. Plan on about 2.5-3 hours.

What a great family day trip. There are lots of great things to see and learn about. Very knowledgeable and helpful guides. This place is a lot bigger than I had thought. Various WW1 and WW2 planes and even a tower from England that was operated during WW2. A hanger that replicates those used by the French in WW1 . We spent a little over 3 hours here and really enjoyed it.

Such a professionally run museum. The planes are gorgeous and there is such a deep commitment to preserving them. The museum guides are quite friendly as well and love to answer any question you might have. I am pretty sure most of them are former military pilots, navigators, or maintainers.

My family (children 10 & 13) stopped by here on a Sunday. The building itself is quite pretty, and the staff was just lovely. The entire place takes no more than an hour to go through, but it was a really pleasant hour. Aside from the main exhibit, there was quite a bit of student art on display. There were also three art/crafting stations that we all enjoyed working at as we made our way through the galleries. I think it was a lovely little stop - peaceful compared to the surrounding beach area. We saw people of all ages walking through, including families with young kids. Highly recommended.

Very nice place to go and has interactive activities for children. I thought it was a very cute place to go especially for relaxing. It was free for us to go in since the Virginia Beach City pays for this place to stay open and up. It’s a small but good Museum for your day on vacation when you want to relax and just enjoy art and what it offers to your mind. It had different types of art too, painting, prints, sculpture, and videos! All loved and appreciated. They also have a cute gift shop full of books and stickers! Very nice place and would come back again one day in the future.

Student exhibition just wonderful. So great to give the art students at Salem High School and elsewhere a chance to grow, develop and be recognized for their early works.
