Virginia Living Museum
Birthday Club and Parties

Birthday Club
Happy Birthday to you! The VLM would like to wish all of our members a very happy birthday!  By registering for our birthday club, children ages 3-12 will receive a postcard during their birth month to redeem for a special treat at the Museum. Just bring your postcard in and receive your treat at the front desk. This benefit is available to family level memberships and memberships held by minors.

Haven't signed up yet? Just submit the member name as well as the child's name and birth date (day/month/year) to membership, call 757-595-1900 ext. 240 or sign up the next time you visit the Museum.

Birthday Parties
Looking for something unique to do for your child's birthday? If so, bring your party to the Virginia Living Museum for a fun and exciting celebration. Enjoy a self-guided tour of our indoor exhibits (62,000 sq. ft!) that showcase a variety of live native Virginia animals, including a Chesapeake Bay Touch Tank and four hands-on Discovery Centers. Come travel our lakeside boardwalk and woodland trail to observe pelicans, bobcats, deer and more! Tour indoors to touch 200 million-year-old dinosaur tracks, see a shark up close, and listen to the birds in our aviary!
