If you want to see the museum beyond just the wedding, come back between 9 to 5 any other time and see the cute animals.
Growing up in VA this was THE amusement park. Loads of roller coasters for thrill seekers and plenty of shows when you want to take it easy.
Jump back in time to the early days of the USA. Take a tour, wander the grounds, or visit the Cheese Shop for a sandwich. No matter what you do you'll feel like you're a part of history.
