Fun Fall Getaway at the Founders Inn and Spa

Plan a fun fall weekend getaway to Virginia Beach and stay at the Founders Inn and Spa.  It's easy to make the most of free time at there, because there something for everyone.

Start the day with a brisk workout at the Fitness and Wellness Center, then join friends for a round of golf at nearby courses or oceanfront dolphin and whale watching tours at the Virginia Aquarium...all just minutes away. As the sun sets, take a stroll through the 26 acres of manicured Regent University campus grounds and drink up the sights and sounds of the autumn season.

The two-year expansion plan offers something for everyone in the family, including new rides, a re-envisioned village theme and a much-requested expansion to one of Busch Gardens' newest events.
