World of Darkness Gallery

In Virginia’s World of Darkness, visitors come eye-to-eye with tiny sharks, scurrying shrimp, playful flying squirrels, eerie jellyfish, and other animals that adapt to nocturnal life.

Tree frogs and other nocturnal animals are active during the day in this fascinating area. Meet animals that make their living in the inky twilight of Virginia’s coastal waters.

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!
