Build an Unforgettable Adventure in Virginia Beach

Aug 24, 2026

For a destination that keeps curious students engaged, Virginia Beach makes planning easy by blending educational attractions, outdoor adventures and group-friendly entertainment into one memorable itinerary.

Students can delve into history at the Cape Henry Lighthouse, the Surf & Rescue Museum or the Thoroughgood House, and then shift gears with hands-on learning at the Virginia Aquarium & Marine Science Center or the Military Aviation Museum. Nature lovers can discover wildlife at Back Bay National Wildlife Refuge, paddle coastal waterways or explore the trails of First Landing State Park.

When it’s time for fun, Virginia Beach delivers. Students can zipline through the treetops and navigate rope courses at The Adventure Park at Virginia Aquarium; catch waves at the new Atlantic Park Surf, which boasts the first Wavegarden Cove surfing lagoon in the United States; experience the thrill of iFLY indoor skydiving or take a boat tour for a picturesque view of Virginia Beach by water.

Evenings are just as memorable, when groups love to stroll the iconic 3-mile-long Boardwalk, enjoy local waterfront restaurants or take in a performance at the entertainment hub of Town Center.

With affordable accommodations, customizable itineraries and attractions for all interests, Virginia Beach makes it easy to create a student trip that’s equal parts educational, exciting and unforgettable.
