When my middle son was little, he was (and let's be honest, he still is) obsessed with monster trucks. My husband has taken him to many Moster Jam shows at the Hampton Coliseum in Hampton, Virginia and it's always been a core memory experience for him! He loved the Megalodon truck. LOVED IT. A family friend had convinced my son that HE was the Megalodon driver. He used to get him Megalodon toy trucks and play with him, tell him stories about driving the truck, and the adventures he had in the truck. All of this magic storytelling fueled my son's love for this specific truck. So, my husband surprised him with pit passes to a show once and he lost his mind. He was so excited! He had the best time ever and still talks about it to this day. It was such a great experience! You may be wondering what happened when he met the real Megalodon driver though and got his autograph... well, we just told him that our family friend had the day off! Ha! The magic is still alive to this day! Wanna chance to win a family 4 pack of tickets to the Friday, September 22, 2023 Monster Jam show at Hampton Coliseum? Keep reading!

Side note: If you are in downtown Norfolk, let's say after you've visited the Chrysler Museum and you want a refreshing treat? You've got to stop across the street from the museum and grab a delicious Dole Whip at the Ghent Grab n Go! It's the best Dole Whip I've ever had outside of Disney! They carry really unique grocery items and gourmet foods too. Try the red velvet muffin, you won't be sorry! 230 West Olney Road, Norfolk, Virginia. 2. The Virginia Living Museum is a super fun, educational way to spend several hours. I would venture to say that you could possibly spend a whole day here. There are just so many exhibits! With indoor and outdoor exhibits, it's doable rain or shine. They have an amazing dinosaur play area, a planetarium with lots of shows, a boardwalk trail, a 30,000 gallon aquarium, and so much more. It's hard not to love this place. Check it out here. 3. Norfolk Botanical Gardens is another one of our favorite places to go. The littlest loves to ride the tram all over the gardens. The older two love to hike all the trails. There are a ton of exhibits and beautifully themed gardens, a lovely butterfly house, and the children's gardens feauturing a big and cheerful splashpad. The perfect way to burn off a ton of energy and get them home in time for nap! The family pass is well worth it here. Plan your visit here. PS: The Christmas lights are legendary around these parts! 4. The Children's Museum of Virginia is the perfect indoor, rainy day activity located in downtown Portsmouth. If you've got a train lover, you will definitely want to visit this museum! There's a huge train exhibit with an enormous model running! It can get a little busy at times, but it's pretty well laid out and there are so many exhibits to explore. There's several little resturaunts and cafe's down the street too. You can make a whole morning of it! Here's a link to their website. 5. The Virginia Zoo is located in Norfolk, Virginia and you can easily spend several hours here. It's always been one of our family favorites. If the kids were bouncing off the walls and we needed a quick getaway to burn off some energy, the zoo was always our place to go. It's got a lot of exhibits, places for free play, a splash area, a petting area, and of course a ton of animals to learn about. Click here to visit their website.
