Holiday Trail of Lights at the Virginia Aquarium
A new walking trail of seven themed areas on the aquarium grounds, replacing the old Holiday Lights at the Beach drive. Strollers are allowed. The 5pm Twilight Hour gets early entry, lighter crowds and an ornament, and Santa photos are sold on site in Glowing Grove. Military families pay less on Monday nights.
