Location of First Landing State Park in Virginia

Where

First Landing State Park, 2500 Shore Dr., Virginia Beach, VA 23451.
Beach Amphitheater

When

March 5, 2023. 12:00 p.m. - 1:00 p.m.

Is that a turtle taking a walk? Join our rangers for some fun in the sun as we exercise and learn about our collection of animal ambassadors on the lawn at the back of the beach amphitheater. Though it may seem silly, enrichment provides a creative outlet for our animals' overall well being and is an essential part of welfare, just like nutrition and veterinary care. Meet at the Beach Amphitheater, behind the Main Office.
