Of course, the Virginia Air & Space Museum is a not particularly cheap family vacation spot, UNLESS you're a member of the ASTC program. Learn how the ASTC Program can help you get in science museums for free.
Bluebird Gap Farm
For a little bit of yesteryear in the middle of the city visit Bluebird Gap Farm in Hampton. This free site boasts 60-acres of farm, antique barns, picnic areas, and nature trails, plus 250+ animals. You'[ll see the usual cows, horses, etc., plus bobcats, raccoons, deer, and peacocks. Bring quarters to feed the animals at the petting zoo. Click here for more details about Bluebird Gap Farm.
Air Power Park
If airplanes and rockets really "float your boat," it's a sunny day, and you want a free outing where the kids can let off some steam, this is a good place to go on a cheap family vacation. Click here for more details about Air Power Park.
The Cousteau Society
The Cousteau Society is a mini-museum dedicated to the life and work of famous oceanographer Jacques Cousteau. See "Allison" the mechanical shark used in the filming of the movie "Jaws." Poor thing came to a nasty end. Click here to find out why...
Shop at the Peninsula Town Center
Recently rebuilt from the ground up, the former Coliseum Mall is now an quaint outdoor mecca of shops ranging from Barnes & Noble to Victoria's Secret, from Aeropostale to Macy's, from Aveda to little boutiques. Throw in restaurants like Five Guys, Chipotle, and Outback, and you have the recipe for a day of fun. And if you window shop, it's easy on your budget too! Click here to see their stores.
