The Inside Guide to a Virginia Beach Family Vacation Getaway



Planning a Virginia Beach family vacation getaway? Virginia has it all...




Check out Virginia Beach Family Fun's latest tips for getting Busch Gardens Howl-O-Scream and Kings Dominion Halloween Haunt discount tickets!




Virginia has...

Sun...sand...surf..."fun-tastic" hotels and resorts and museums like Nauticus, Virginia Aquarium, and the Virginia Air & Space Museum...

...world-class amusement parks like Busch Gardens Williamsburg (home of "Griffon," the world's tallest, floorless drop coaster), Paramounts Kings Dominion, and spectacular water parks like Water Country USA and Great Wolf Lodge Williamsburg.

...fascinating, interpretive history sites even your kids will love, like Colonial Williamsburg, Jamestown, and Yorktown...

...delicious yet inexpensive restaurants you can enjoy without breaking the bank...

We'll give you inside information to plan the perfect Virginia Beach vacation. We've discovered the hidden gems that the big travel guides miss.

We spend hours every month looking for discount tickets, restaurant deals, cheap hotels, and other ways to save on a Virginia vacation...and we pass this on to you.


Whether you're vacationing with family or friends, planning a romantic weekend getaway, or just want a cheap family vacation, we'll show you:


  • Our personal reviews (as in, we've actually been there and given it a thumbs up or thumbs down) of what you shouldn't miss on your family vacation getaway.

  • Best things to do with kids to make your family vacation getaway one to remember. Plus ideas for "kid-less" fun.
  • Breathtaking beaches! Photo by Eileen Mundok © 2010-2011

    For example, what museum do our kids' love to "crash and burn at? What are our favorite "touchy-feely" attractions?

  • Secrets for finding discount travel deals to save you money on attractions, hotels, restaurants, and gas.
  • Surf's up! Virginia Beach has some of the best swimming and surfing spots on the Atlantic seaboard. We'll have the up-to-the-minute weather forecast and surf conditions.
  • As Featured On Ezine Articles

  • History sites your entire family can enjoy--no more "Ugh, not another museum, Mom!" (We know. We've been there.) We've checked out the sites and found the best places to visit...and what to skip. (For example, read our "Top 5 Places to Visit in Colonial Williamsburg" guide.


Convinced? Take a few minutes and investigate our site. There's great reviews, money-saving tips, and unexpected ways to save around every corner.

Oh, and for up-to-date news on discount tickets, attractions, and events, please subscribe to our VA Beach Blog.

Our recommendations are based on our family's experiences--as well as those of actual Virginians, and first-hand reviews of fellow travelers.

We are a family with a passion for sharing all the wonderful things we love about Virginia. We are not a big corporation or professional travel site that gets paid to persuade you to drop big bucks on a mediocre trip.

We'll just give you the truth--plain and unvarnished--of the best places to see...and the cheapest ways to see them.

So we'll give you an unbiased, candid glimpse of fun things to do in the Virginia Beach area -- and southwestern Virginia - from a family perspective.

So check back for more reviews and money-saving tips!
