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 planetarium is CLOSED today for maintenance, but will reopen tomorrow.
