Learning can be a life long adventure. Join VLM staff biologists, naturalists and scientists to explore the natural world in a new series of adult learning experiences being held on Saturday mornings. Each activity-oriented program is presented in a relaxed, hands-on format and includes classroom instruction combined with opportunities to examine specimens from the museum's extensive collections and up close encounters with live animals. Come and share a journey of discovery with others who have an enthusiastic desire to continue to learn about the natural world of Virginia and beyond.

Advance registration is required for all adult programs. For more information or to make a reservation, call the Reservations Coordinator, at 757-595-9135, Monday-Friday, 9 a.m. - 4:30 p.m.

Ever look up at the night sky and wonder what you were seeing up there? Then this class is for you! We'll teach you everything you need to know to enjoy the sky from your own backyard - all in one day. We'll even cover the basics of telescopes, so you'll be ready to dust off (or maybe unpack) that scope you've got hiding in the closet and experience the splendor of the universe up close and personal. Dinner included courtesy of our Wild Side Café. No telescope required.

Ages: 18 years old and above

Time: 2-8 p.m. with an hour for dinner and observing afterward (weather permitting).

Cost: $48 VLM members, $58 non-members
