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.

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.it was a very relaxed visit. we could go at our own pace. it was nice to see the animals up close and in a natural environment.

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!Had a couple of hours to kill and stopped at the Virginia Living Museum. What a wonderful place.

Had a couple of hours to kill and stopped at the Virginia Living Museum. What a wonderful place. Our grandson, 1.5 years, absolutely loved looking and touching all of the exhibits. The dinosaurs were his favorite, but the aquariums and other displays were equally enjoyed. Did not see a lot of animals in the outdoor walk path, but that could be that we visited in the late afternoon and they were hiding. Nevertheless, the place is a lot of fun and all of us enjoyed our visit.
