Children's Museum of Virginia - great place to take the kids

Even though I no longer have little ones, I paid a visit to the new and improved Children's Museum of Virginia in Portsmouth. It was incredible.  It's a great way to spend the time with your children or grandchildren with lots of interactive activities and things to learn. You'll see the familiar Coleman train collection and other sights you'll expect like a fire station, a city bus, a grocery store and a doctor's office. Interactive stations encourage kids to use their muscles, their musical skills and other forms of physical activity. A creative section has room for learning art skills and the bubble room is sure to make them smile. Kids will learn about nature around them and the most fundamental things we all need to know to survive. From a giant chair to nestle in to giant daffodils, kids are encouraged to stretch their imaginations.
