The Virginia Aquarium and Marine Science Center brings the Chesapeake Bay ashore to visitors in Bay Lab, a hands-on educational laboratory in Virginia Beach’s First Landing State Park at 2500 Shore Drive. The $1.6 million, 2,500-square-foot visitor and education facility houses a wet lab filled with aquariums, touch tanks and powerful microscopes. Year-round programming at the lab and in-the-field explorations provide opportunities to “be a scientist” for a day.
