Virginia is for Lovers of Family Fun.

When it comes to family togetherness, Virginia beckons you to share the journey as you explore its majesty, the stories of its people, its history, its folk arts, and its array of
attractions.

A vacation in Virginia is more than just a checklist of activities; it’s an opportunity to reconnect your family with the moments that bring you closer together.See the past come alive in your child’s eyes as you explore over four centuries of fascinating history. Discover where the first permanent English settlers originally set foot on American soil. Step quietly through Civil War battlefields, remembering when the North and the South battled for victory. Explore the homes of George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and Robert E. Lee, and learn the true fate of Washington’s famous cherry tree.

For outdoor adventure, splash through the ocean’s waves and soak in the summer sun among the kaleidoscope of beach towels dotting the shoreline. Immerse your family in the tranquility offered by Mother Nature, who generously blessed Virginia with more than 2,500 stunning miles of scenic drives and state parks. With activities for everyone, Virginia welcomes adventurers of all ages. Paddle along the calm waters of the Eastern Shore by kayak or hike to the peak of a mountain vista, overlooking the patchwork scenery of the Blue Ridge Mountains. You’ve found paradise when the only sounds are the trickle of a mountaintop stream and the tiny chirp of an eastern bluebird. Or, simply revel in the simplicity of nature’s gifts as you crab on Assateaque Island, with roaming wild ponies as your neighbors.

Virginia unveils a world of adventure and possibilities year-round. Time stands still as you reconnect, rediscover and renew your love for family. Follow your heart to Virginia.org.
