Hunter's Moon Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 What are some fun things to do in Chesapeake, VA in the middle of December? Soon-to-be DH and I will be there from about the 16th to the 20th or 21st. Maybe 22nd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NavyMommy Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 Haha that's harder! We just moved here (although we did live here 4 years ago) and so my brain is swarming with things to do with the kids. If you're out by Greenbriar there's a Cinema Cafe that's fun, they're all older movies if memory serves, but it was still a fun experience. There's always the oceanfront if you're up for a bit of a drive depending on where you'll be, it will be cold, but it's usually pretty empty and you can probably still rent bikes to ride up and down the boardwalk. The museums in downtown Norfolk are really nice, and there's always the zoo, they used to do something special around Christmas, not sure if they do or not. Before kids, DH and I used to enjoy going to see the local minor league hockey team play. There are also all the standard things, restaurants, bowling, movies.

Tess in the Burbs Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 Go to Norfolk botanical garden for the holiday lights. Founders inn has stuff going on. Eat seafood in Virgnia beach. Chesapeake itself I don't know... Check the city site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chesapeake itself I don't know... Check the city site. The Botanical Garden sounds great! I was also looking at something else near Chesapeake but completely forgot what it was called. The people dressed up like they dressed during the Civil War (I think) and you watched them do things someone in those times would do. They had a special exhibit for the Christmas season. I'll have to find it again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nukeswife Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 I hate to say it but in Chesapeake specifically, not a lot. Most tourist attractions are in VA Beach or Norfolk, which aren't to far, but the drive can stink. That's because traffic is always bad on I64 down here. I know there is the Chrysler art museum downtown Norfolk. I think McArthur Center (the big mall downtown) has an indoor ice skating rink.

Susan C. Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 (edited) We lived there a long time ago, there is a marine science place we really liked. I think it was on the south end of Virginia Beach. We liked Chesapeake Park, National Seashore State Park, Sandbridge Beach, the Virginia Beach beachfront. Edited October 13, 2012 by Susan C.
