Explore Virginia’s natural heritage from the mountains to the sea with live exhibits that look back at you. Transport yourself to the steamy world of a cypress swamp, complete with alligators and snapping turtles. Find songbirds nestled in the trees around a cascading waterfall and view trout in a cool mountain stream. Explore the underwater world of the Chesapeake Bay and the underground realm of a limestone cave, plus enjoy hands-on activities. See spectacular views of the sun from the observatory. Outdoors, stroll the 3/4- mile elevated boardwalk to view coastal birds, red wolves, otters and other native animals in naturalized habitats and explore native plant gardens.
