The class is in a Baker Hall Visitor Center classroom at Norfolk Botanical Garden, with 10 am, noon and 2 pm sessions on the Saturday before Christmas. It is recommended for ages 3 and up with some chaperone help, and the garden suggests clothes that can get messy. All children and chaperones need registered tickets, which include daytime admission to the garden but not the Garden of Lights. ## Similar picks in Virginia Beach - [Virginia Regional Ballet's The Nutcracker at the Ferguson Center](https://grassyknees.com/virginia-beach/activities/virginia-regional-ballet-s-the-nutcracker-at-the-ferguson-center--listing-220920a4c3ec4c2d5be5aa8b) — Sat, Dec 19 (+1 more date) · 2:00 PM · Ferguson Center for the Arts, Newport News · From $36 · checked Oct 24.
