I grew up in VB and LOVED going to the aquarium when I was younger. They have expanded it a lot and have 2 separate areas - one which is the fish and all that and the other is more about the local environment. There is a trail from one area to the other and there are a lot of exhibits on the trail. Sometimes there are even people on the trail to do live exhibits and answer questions.
With a LO I would say you could spend a few hours there. There's also an IMAX in there that usually has kid-friendly movies playing.

awesome! We went to the Myrtle Beach aquarium when DD was 4 months old, and I have never seen her so enthralled by something before or since.
Now that she has an idea of what's going on around her, I bet she'd love it.
Thanks for the info!
