that region. Visit the Virginia
Institute of Marine Science (VIMS) and take part in their 2025
Open House activities. For one day a year only, nearly every corner of
the VIMS campus is open to the public to speak to scientists and
students while getting a behind-the-scenes look at the important
research and advisory services VIMS provides to Virginia and beyond.
Located in Gloucester Point, this fun-filled event features exhibits,
kid's activities, seining in the York River, tours, seafood cooking
demos, and more.
