Bookkeeping and Baloo

History and astronomy come together in a dazzling way at the Chesapeake Planetarium. From an historic standpoint, the facility is significant because it is the first planetarium built by a public school system in the state of Virginia. But this attraction also offers visitors a chance to gaze into the night sky and be amazed at the intricate patterns and formations that make up the constellations everyone has heard about. The staff is highly knowledgeable and can answer any questions you may have. Also, there are various lectures and special presentations on the schedule. And of course, the opportunity to see the stars up close is always available thanks to the high powered telescopes and other impressive equipment that is available here.

Oak Grove Lake Park is one of those places in Chesapeake where it all seems to come together for the outdoor lover. In addition to a stunning 65-acre hardwood forest, trails and wetlands, there is also a lake that proves to be a popular attraction with fans of water sports and recreation. Enjoy a refreshing swim, lounge on the shore or take your boat out for a relaxing afternoon of fishing.

The art of putting on a great show is something that is always being practiced and improved upon at the New Theatre of Chesapeake. This is an impressive entertainment venue that features the work of the city's premier professional theater organization. While the main focus of this group is musical theater, they also present an interesting variety of other productions throughout the season. You will not be disappointed when you are a part of the many great on-stage moments that these talented local and regional performers consistently deliver.
