    Your Virginia Beach vacation is destined for greatness with kids activities to bring out the 8-year old in all of us. Here are some fun things to do with the kids that will definitely increase the happiness quotient for your crew.

    1 It’s something every kid knows: no vacation is complete until you’ve seen yourparents flat on their backs zooming down a waterslide. Splash around at Ocean Breeze Waterpark.
    2 Visit some guys who really know how to have fun—the harbor seals at the Virginia Aquarium. Along with the amazing creatures of the new Restless Planet exhibit, the Aquarium inspires wonder year-round. In the cooler months, head out for a whale watching excursion. Watch the fun.
    3 Keep sibling rivalry where it belongs—the mini golf course. Putt for the title of family champion at one of our indoor or outdoor courses.
    4 Be a field hand for a few hours with sweet rewards. Pick strawberries in Pungo.
    Watch the fun.
    5 Catch a little something for dinner. Pier fishing is an easy way to try your luck dropping a line into the Atlantic at Virginia Beach Fishing Pier, or crabbing in the Chesapeake Bay from Lynnhaven Fishing Pier. Watch the fun.
    6 Kids take to this like fish, but a surfer can be born at any age. Learn to shred the waves with surf lessons. Watch the fun.
    7 Head to a playground, where it’s all about kids activities—and no instructions are needed to have a good time. Fly a kite, skate the ramp or relax with a picnic lunch at Mount Trashmore Park.

    11Pose with the King. The colossal 34-foot high King Neptune Statue is a favorite photo op spot. Check out the fun.
