Located just 20 minutes from Williamsburg, the VLM is part zoo, nature park, aquarium, botanical garden, planetarium and science center. Visitors can view over 250 native plant and animal species including the red wolf, bobcat, otter and bald eagle. Discover native Virginia animals in naturalized habitats including a limestone cave, mountain cove and cypress swamp. Explore the underwater world of the Chesapeake Bay with sandbar sharks and touch a horseshoe crab. Enter an aviary of coastal birds. See spectacular views of the sun from the observatory and voyage across the galaxies in the state-of-the-art planetarium theater. Learn how to build, live and garden "green."​ Young kids particularly enjoy the Nature Playground and the "Wild & Well"​ exhibit where kids can role play to be a vet and zoo keeper.
