6 Feb 2007 10:10 AM Rainy Day Ideas for Virginia Beach. When people visit Virginia Beach, naturally the prime destination is the Oceanfront and the endless blue waves of the Atlantic Ocean. Every year, thousands upon thousands of visitors take to the sands for a lively Spring break or lazy summer vacation of swimming, surfing, and sun tanning. However, once in a while there may come a day when Mother Nature throws a curveball into the plans. The city with one of the longest leisure beaches in the world enjoys an average annual rainfall of forty-five inches. Fortunately, the rain is spread throughout the year, so it doesn't all fall at once. However, there's no telling when a day of rain might interrupt your beach vacation! Not to worry, though, for Virginia Beach offers a number of alternative activities the family can enjoy while waiting for the sun to come out. Here are just a few: The Virginia Aquarium and Marine Science Center (http://www.vmsm.com): Come see the wonders of the ocean, touch live manta rays and watch sharks swim before your eyes! The Marine Science Center makes learning about marine biology a fascinating and fun experience. Lynnhaven Mall (http://www.lynnhavenmall.com): Even if you don't have a lot of extra cash to spend, the Lynnhaven Mall offers plenty of fun opportunities for entertainment. Take a ride on the gorgeous, two-story carousel, or enjoy a movie and popcorn at the newly refurbished AMC Theater with stadium seating. Gamemaster USA: For the family that needs to let off a bit of steam, this popular beach attraction features an indoor paintball facility. So when the rain postpones your beach fun you can vent your frustration with a couple of round of well-aimed paint balls. Be sure to duck at the right time. From museums to indoor parks, Virginia Beach has you covered, literally and figuratively, on a rainy day. |
