The wildly-popular Virginia Aquarium Family Great Adventure Series is all about Discovery and Entertainment at the Virginia Beach oceanfront. On select nights from May through the end of August, families can take part in interactive adventures themed to popular movies. The adventure might lead you to various sites along the boardwalk or beach to unravel a mystery. Sometimes the adventure involves games and contests right on the beach. Dress up as your favorite character from the movies, compete for one of our trophies, and then settle into the sand for a family-friendly movie presented on a giant inflatable screen!
All Family Great Adventures are free and everyone who participates gets a medal!

Dr. Seuss’ How the Grinch Stole Christmas
(PG) The cantankerous Grinch (Jim Carrey) descends from his dreary dwelling high in the peaks of Mt. Crumpit upon the unsuspecting citizens of Whoville to wreak havoc on their beloved Christmas season. But this recluse with a heart "two sizes too small" learns a valuable lesson from a little girl named Cindy Lou Who in this holiday favorite based on the book by Dr. Seuss.
