Attention Entertainment Book Customers: The Aquarium will honor the original “buy one/get one free” admission coupon in this year’s Entertainment Book. However, the “print more online” notation found at www.entertainment.com is an error. Online or photocopied coupons will not be honored.
You may apply the cost of your Aquarium admission towards the purchase of a membership (of equal or greater value) to the Virginia Aquarium & Marine Science Center. Bring your original Aquarium receipt within 30 days of purchase to get 25% off the price of your membership. May not be combined with any other offer or discount.

Guests can catch a trolley to the Aquarium, during summer operations, wherever they see a VB Wave sign. Trolleys regularly make stops at the Bay & Ocean Pavilion and Marsh Pavilion. Trolley schedules and stops are subject to change.
