Visitors renting a Virginia vacation home will be thrilled with the diverse range of activities available when vacationing in the state. In Roanoke, the Science Museum of Western Virginia is home to a unique Hardbottom Reef Tank, which showcases the aquatic life of the nearby Atlantic Ocean. There is also a planetarium, illusions gallery, and more. Another terrific scientific attraction is the Virginia Living Museum in Newport News. The museum features a little bit of everything, including a zoo, botanical garden, and aviary. For travelers who are horse lovers, book lovers or both, Chincoteague Island is a must. The island became famous with the publication of the book Misty of Chincoteague, about the adventures of two children and their spunky pony Misty. Today, visitors can see ponies just like Misty at the Chincoteague Pony Center.
