Here at VirginiaBeach.com, we are always interested in creating memories and experiences — without putting the squeeze on the family budget. Now that winter is blowing its chilling, frosty breath upon us, it’s time to bundle up, grab your gloves and sled-on-down to the Virginia Beach Winter Wildlife Festival. There are many exciting programs available for kids and adults this weekend. For the purposes of this article, we will concentrate on the activities that are free to the public.
