How We Picked

Every pick here is tagged "Toddler Friendly" in our directory — a detail documented on the business or place's own website or listing, not word-of-mouth. We pulled every real, currently-tagged listing across every category it applies to. Details change, so confirm current hours/availability directly with the business before a visit.

The Picks

  1. Cullipher Farm Market

    A working farm market on Princess Anne Road in the heart of Pungo, open seasonally April through October for pick-your-own strawberries, blueberries, peaches, grapes, apples, and pumpkins, alongside a market stocked with fresh produce, baked goods, and ice cream.

  2. Hunt Club Farm

    Fifty acres of working farm in the Red Mill area, a few minutes from the Municipal Center, run by the same family for generations as 'farm education and entertainment for visitors of all ages.' The Petting Farm ($15 per person, under 2 free) puts you nose-to-nose with goats, mini highland cows, donkeys, llamas, and pigs, and that admission also covers the BirdWalk Aviary — home to more than 500 parakeets — and the TreeWalk Adventure, a course of 10- and 12-foot netted and wooden bridges linking educational treehouses.

  3. Jungle Golf

    A Virginia Beach tradition for more than three decades, Jungle Golf packs 18 tropical-themed holes with lush landscaping onto a 23rd Street lot a block off the Boardwalk.

  4. Kids Cove at Mount Trashmore

    The biggest playground in Virginia Beach: nearly 26,000 square feet of play structures, swings, and climbing features at the base of Mount Trashmore's famous hill.

  5. King Neptune's Indoor Blacklight 3-D Mini Golf

    Virginia Beach has no shortage of mini golf, but King Neptune's is the one locals name when the weather turns: a fully indoor, blacklight-drenched 10-hole course at 25th Street themed around a deep-sea quest for the lost city of Atlantis.

  6. Level Green Park

    Home to the city's first public sprayground, Level Green Park has quickly become a go-to summer stop in the Kempsville area.

  7. Mount Trashmore Park

    Virginia Beach's most famous non-beach landmark started as a landfill: opened in 1974 as one of the first parks in the world built on converted waste, Mount Trashmore's main hill rises 60 feet and runs 800 feet long, with a second mound (Encore Hill) beside it.

  8. Ocean Breeze Waterpark

    Ocean Breeze is Virginia Beach's outdoor waterpark, on General Booth Boulevard just down the road from the Virginia Aquarium — you can't miss it, because a 45-foot statue named Hugh Mongous greets you at the entrance.
