Virginia Wineries & Museums
President’s
Park: Presidents Park is an outdoor,
educational museum located in the heart of Williamsburg’s Historic
Triangle. It features 18-20 foot busts of all 43 American
Presidents, created by internationally-renowned artist David Adickes.
The park provides a comprehensive lesson in American history,
spanning from George Washington’s inauguration in 1789 to the
present.
Ripley’s Believe it or Not Museum and 4-D Theater: This year
round museum features 11 galleries with over 300 exhibits. See a 500
lb. gorilla made entirely from nails, a larger-than-life section of
the Berlin Wall, an albino lion, and our genuine shrunken head. It’s
a one of a kind experience for the whole family!
Virginia Living Museum: Animals native to Virginia swim,
slither, roam and fly at the Virginia Living Museum, which completed
a $22.6 million expansion in March 2004. The living exhibits in the
museum's new building bring visitors in contact with more habitats,
wildlife and plant species than would be encountered in a lifetime
of outdoor adventures. The exhibits literally go from the upland
coves of the Appalachian Mountains to the salty offshore waters of
the Atlantic Ocean.
Virginia Air and Space Museum: Located in Hampton, Virginia,
the birthplace of America’s space program, the Virginia Air & Space
Center features dozens of hands-on air and space exhibits, a
premiere interactive aviation gallery that spans 100 years of
flight, more than 30 historic aircraft, unique
space
flight artifacts and more! Your imagination will soar as you launch
a rocket, pilot a space shuttle, become an air traffic controller,
fly an airplane, and climb aboard a WWII bomber! Also visit our IMAX
theatre to experience a 3-D Imax Film!
