My husband and I recently got married at the museum. It was only the second venue we looked at, but we were so confident about it we booked it on the spot! He was excited by the SR-71 and the trains out back, and I loved the beautiful architecture. The Special Events Team, especially Shannon, sealed the deal for us. They were very responsive and professional and they entertained our bold ideas. Guests were able to enjoy the interactive Speed exhibit during cocktail hour, we were able to have portraits taken all over the venue, a robot drew our initials and an outline of the SR-71, and we were able to customize the space by removing the center pendulum and adding additional lighting. Our special day was truly one of a kind! During the wedding, Shannon made sure everything ran smoothly. I saw her assisting the lighting crew, the caterers, and the planners, as well as her staff. I could not recommend this team and venue enough!

The best science museum we’ve went to so far!
Many interactive activities, musical, art, educational, physical exercise, mind opening and many more. Specific activities geared towards younger kids and others towards teens. As a parent I enjoyed myself a lot, too. Clean, friendly staff and well organized. Paid extra for the dome movie/show and the dinosaur exhibit. Both worth the extra money. Be sure to look at the daily schedule so you can get the best out of your visit. You can easily spend 3 hours there and even more if you have very curious children. Buy tickets in advance so you get discounts if you are adding exhibits or the dome. Highly recommend!

My family visited the Science Museum of Virginia on a Thursday mainly to see the dinosaur exhibit, and it exceeded our expectations! I’m a 52-year-old woman and I was completely in awe! The detail and scale of the dinosaurs were incredible. My husband and teenage daughter were equally impressed. The exhibit was immersive, educational, and beautifully done.
The museum overall is clean, well-organized, and full of hands-on experiences for all ages. It wasn’t overly crowded, which made for a relaxed and enjoyable visit. Very easy parking, too! Highly recommend!
