Virginia Aquarium, Public aquarium in Virginia Beach, United States
The Virginia Aquarium contains over 800 marine species within exhibits that replicate diverse ecosystems from coastal regions to deep ocean environments.
Opening its doors in 1984, the Virginia Aquarium grew from a small marine center into a major institution hosting 200,000 visitors in its first year.
The aquarium functions as an educational center where visitors participate in marine science programs and learn about ocean conservation through interactive exhibits.
The facility operates daily from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, offering guided tours, special exhibitions, and multiple dining options throughout its extensive complex.
Scientists at Virginia Aquarium conduct research projects on sea turtle rehabilitation while maintaining a stranding response program for marine mammals.
