One of my favorite places to go with my one and two-year-old. We try to go at least once a week. It is not only a great learning experience, but helps to get out all the wiggles ☺️

Great educational exhibits for learning about wildlife and eco systems in Virginia. The exhibits are well laid out showing the different areas of Virginia. Cafeteria is closed. There is a dinosaur exhibit with mechanical dinosaurs that emit grows. Younger children may be scared of this exhibit. I would recommend purchasing tickets online usung the "Skip the Line". They sent you an e-mail with bar codes for your tickets which they just scan in a separate window. Not much of a line compared to the one where people are just purchasing tickets. Also to limit people they have you oickma time slot for arrival.

Self guided tour. About 1-1/2 - 3 hours depending on how long you savor each area. Get your steps in and learn at the same time!

No issues at all, they were expecting me when I arrived using this purchase method. Enjoyed the morning, great place for families and good for maybe 3-4 hours. Sadly the cafe was closed when I was there

We went here during the COVID-19 reopening. Most of it was open, some of the hands on were blocked off. Disappointed that the otters were at the vet, but that’s understandable. Overall a great experience.

Plenty for a 3-year old to do and enjoy. Quality museum with plenty of great exhibits. Dinoland was a hit!

I was not sure what to expect coming here, yet they managed to exceed my expectations! There is an indoor museum with aquariums and other animal / spider / insect exhibits (including a section for nocturnal creatures and even cave animals). One of the indoor exhibits was interactive - two staff were showing crabs and other sea life. They were pretty knowledgeable and able to answer many of our questions. In addition they had designed an indoor area to resemble outdoor habitats for some larger animals, including a large snapping turtle and an alligator. And finally there is a huge outdoor section of the museum with animals found all over Virginia. Many of these creatures were brought to the Living Museum because they were unable to live in the wild (orphaned, injured / rehabilitated, etc.). There is even a dinosaur exhibit which featured some fossils found in and around the Hampton Roads region. The staff were all friendly and had stories to tell about the animals at the museum. I would definitely recommend this site for children, the young at heart, and anyone who admires nature and living things or just wants a deeper appreciation for the state of Virginia's wild side.

We live outside Richmond and have 4 kids. We bought season passes because they paid for themselves in less than 2 visits. There is a lot to do and see and we love the planetarium and the exhibit's

What a wonderful visit we had with our 4 year old grandson & his family. There were so many things to see and touch that ALL of us enjoyed the tie spent there. The Touch Tanks" to the dinosaur trail to the live animals indigenous to Virginia; they were all fantastic. AND IT ONLY COST $20.00 for adults & $15 for kids over 2. We enjoyed the entire visit and HIGHLY recommend it for rain or shine! You will have a GREAT time!
