After Hours Visits

The Virginia Living Museum would like to invite your group to enjoy an evening amongst the animals and the stars. Enjoy wandering at your own pace through the living exhibits, which literally go from the upland coves of the Appalachian Mountains to the salty offshore waters of the Atlantic Ocean. See spectacular views of the moon (weather and season permitting) from the observatory and travel the universe in the planetarium theater.

The main gallery building, the observatory and the planetarium theater can be open exclusively for your group for two hours between 6 p.m. and 10 p.m. any day of the week (although weekends are limited). These two hour tours encompass the main exhibition galleries, but do not include the outdoor trail. Planetarium shows can be included for an additional fee.

For reservations or more information, please contact the Group Tour Manager at 757-534-7406 or by email.
