I…read moreeven had a conversation with a VSO musician, and he shared his enjoyment of the concert hall while confirming it has good acoustics. The venue itself is beautiful and well-maintained. The interior is really clean, including a spotless lobby and spacious, clean bathrooms. Despite having cheaper student tickets, our seats were comfortable and provided a good view. The ushers were really friendly and helpful in guiding us to our seats. I recommend looking up parking information before you go. We were a bit confused, and later discovered there were closer parking options available.

As for Armstrong stadium, while there are no bells and whistles, the restrooms are clean, I love the blue track, and it's holding up quite nicely for a stadium built in the roaring 20's with nice added touches.

Lol It is slightly pricey but the kids do enjoy and stay busy the entire stay so it's worth it.

Aside from the small parking lot, this stadium is quite nice…read more I did not visit the concession stands, but I peeked at them and it appears the concessions area is built into the stands, like a hideaway almost. I have never seen this before and I guess it works. This seems like a good idea if rain comes, folk do not stand in line in the rain for their treats. Nevertheless, there is plenty seating on both sides. The field looks maintained, but I think it's time for a facelift. The track part of the field looks severely worn and needs a bit of TLC. However, I attended this field for a high school football game and the field served its purpose. We were made aware of the limited parking so we pulled up about 90 minutes before kickoff and had no problems parking in the lot. Overall, this is a legit stadium for high schoolers to play. I cannot imagine a college game held here, I think it's too small. Have fun and enjoy life :)

I am a huge fan of the Universoul Circus! I believe myself and my family have attended since 2012…read more This year the location was outside of the Hampton Convention Center than its usual location, outside of Military Circle Mall (The Galleria). In my opinion, the vibe was a bit different this time around. I am usually hyped about all the acts from start to finish. My favorite act, which returned this year, the motorcyclists, daredevils ... they amaze me every single time! Only three cyclists appeared this year, but the act was still super thrilling! A few new acts made an appearance this year... some were good while others were just OK. Nevertheless, this circus is pretty much the only well known circus that is still in existence. The Universoul Circus comes to the area faithfully. I recommend you check it out next year or in an area nearby. They will usually run the circus for 5 to 7 days. And this year, the show at Hampton started July 31st and ended August 4th. The prices can range from $10 to $30... keep your eyes peeled for special offers going forward. Parking... plenty. Restrooms are located outside the big top. And yes, the circus is under a huge tent... outside... under the BIG TOP it's air conditioned and super comfy. There is almost not a bad seat, but I do recommend section G. A great family outing if you love a good time. Have fun and enjoy life :)

This place may be small, but it is definitely mighty…read more I had one staff member who was in contact with us while we were planning our visit for our special needs class at our school. He was so helpful and also provided bags of feed to our children while we walked around. While walking around, we were able to see many animals . One of our favorite areas was the garden area. Our children really enjoyed watching and looking at some of the items they were growing, whether it was produce or flowers. Another area we enjoyed was the playground . Our children in our classroom are older, but they were able to enjoy the playground as well. There was plenty of seating around the playground so you could sit and watch the children. The bathrooms were pretty clean for the type of area we were at . All of the staff that we came in contact with were fantastic. There was a lot of hard-working staff members there whether they were feeding animals or watering or attending to ground crew chores. The parking lot is pretty large. It can accommodate both vehicles and buses. We will definitely return .

Right near the entrance, you'll find clean and well-maintained restrooms--something every parent can appreciate! Off to the side, there are fantastic sensory and fine motor skill activity stations that are thoughtfully designed for all kids, including those with sensory needs. The highlight for many is the amazing playground. It's spacious and exciting, and best of all, the swings are inclusive and accessible for children with disabilities, which makes this space truly welcoming for everyone. In addition to all the fun, there are friendly farm animals to visit and interact with, which is always a hit with little ones. Plus, there are not just one but two free little libraries on-site (1:the one for kids is located near the garden gazebo and main animal area 2: The young adult one is located near the swings leading you to the fine motor skills and sensory bin area) perfect for encouraging reading and relaxing in a peaceful setting. I highly recommend packing a lunch a blanket and grabbing a book and enjoying by the small pond. Lots of photo and learning opportunities here! Bird Bird Gap Farm is more than just a place to play it's a space that values accessibility, creativity, and community. Highly recommend! Look out for the white peacock!

The Convocation Center is where Hampton University play home basketball games. My brother college…read morebasketball team played against HU. All seats in the arena has a good view of the floor. If the arena is not filled by half-time, spectators can move closer to the bottom (if seats are available). The food options are limited but you will find typical arena food (popcorn,candy,chip,hot dogs,soda, etc).The players Will Call is located inside of the building near Sections B & C. There was plenty of parking next to the arena. I give Hampton University Convocation Center a 3.5 rating.

Second, it came with a card that had like 8 different restaurants who would give you 2 sliders total. That's about 4 burgers worth of food!!! My fiancee and I couldnt even fill one whole card between the both of us and we EACH got a card! Third, the drink cards were awesome. We got one card that would get stamped for 3 to give you a full beer or 1 stamp for a taste of it. Sly Clyde's choice of cider took all my share of stamps. What great guys! What a fun, chill event. Parking was easy to find across the street in the free lot and the music was good. The sun kept peeking in and out, but it was alright, we had fun nonetheless. Even if we didnt get in for free, I would've paid to go. So worth it!

Totally a feel good time, and the salsa stand was so awesome! I for sure have so many places to go to now to eat some of those amazing burgers again! The cider stands that were there were to die for also! I mean cherry tart cider? Cmonnnn.
