Group Visit

The Virginia Living Museum welcomes your group! Our goal is to offer your clients memories that will last a lifetime, in addition to helping you with all the planning and details. We offer a fantastic 2-3 hour tour option to suit groups of all ages and up to 400 visitors at a time.

Conveniently located two miles off I-64 and only 20 miles from the Historic Triangle of Williamsburg, Jamestown and Yorktown, the Virginia Living Museum is central to many hotels, restaurants and shopping malls. If your group is wild about wildlife, we will ensure the Virginia Living Museum will become one of the highlights of their tour of the Hampton Roads area of Virginia.

The average length of a self-guided museum tour is 2-2 ½ hours. Please allow an extra 45 minutes if your group is booked for a Planetarium Show.

Group Leaders, Travel Agents, Tour Operators and Receptive Operators are most welcome to visit the museum anytime for a familiarization tour to get an "up-close and personal" view of our facilities and wildlife.
