Chesapeake Chuck's Fun Facts!

  • Coming soon!

Chesapeake Chuck is the Virginia Living Museum resident groundhog.

Watch for him every February 2nd when he predicts Hampton Roads weather with WAVY-TV Meteorologist, Jeremy Wheeler.

The ability of the famous Punxsutawney Phil to accurately forecast weather may be questionable, but early February is a good time to find out more about this interesting animal that sleeps through most of the winter.

Heads Up!

The Virginia Living Museum will open at 11AM to the public today to allow staff to get operations up and running after extensive power loss last night.

This will NOT interfere with regular summer camp operations, camp will begin at 9AM. 

Thank you for your patience!

Wild Explorations

Heads Up! The Changing Exhibit Gallery, where our Wild Explorations exhibit lives, will close at 3PM today in preparation for an after hours event!
