Stay a while ... at Bide-a-Wee

See the stars ... at Children's Museum
This is a hands-on place. See the stars, get trapped in a giant soap bubble, and operate a construction crane at The Children’s Museum of Virginia. There’s plenty here to grab a kid’s attention, whether it’s the Tot Lot for Toddlers or displays on sound waves.
