We visited the Virginia Aquarium while on vacation. Overall it wasn't a bad gig. $27 got you aquarium admission and IMAX movie. There are cute harbor seals in the giant tank out front. They have lots of critters you might not normally see in an aquarium - komodo dragons, snakes, otters...
They have a great tunnel - similar to the Atlanta aquarium with sting rays and nurse sharks and lots of fishies swimming overhead. They have the big observation tanks as well - with sharks and such. All in all a pretty nice set up. It was a rainy cool day - perfect for spending a few hours.
IMAX theater was nice - movie was just meh - very preachy and lots of missed opportunities for using the cool 3d technology.
All in all - this was a good aquarium. It's not my favorite - but I would go back if the opportunity presented itself.
