Snag some tickets in advance for $15 per person (at a stand set up in the cafeteria) or pay $20 at the door. It’s not every year we have a Sadie Hawkins-style dance, so take advantage of this epic opportunities – ladies, this is your chance to ask that special someone out! Don’t have (or want) a date? No worries! Grab some friends and go for a fun night. The Snowball is perfect for those that want an upgrade from Homecoming but don’t want to go all out for Prom.

3.) This is the best time of the year to go whale watching at Virginia Beach! A day cruise on the Rudee Flipper tour boat takes you along the Atlantic Coast, where you’re guaranteed to spot some magnificent humpback whales and other critters (including dolphins, seals, and water birds). The boat comes equipped with a snack bar, full bar, and a heated indoor cabin with comfortable seating so you can fully enjoy the cruise.
Did You Know? Not only are humpback whales one of the largest animals on Earth – they are also quite vocal! In fact, the males communicate by singing (yes, singing). Also, each of them have a unique white design on their underbelly – similar to human fingerprints, no two designs on a whale are the same. If you don’t believe me, just see for yourself!
