October 14, 2008

The Virginia Air & Space Center was selected as Hampton Road’s 2008 Parents' Pick for Best Museum for Little Kids, Best Museum for Big Kids, Best Day Camp for Big Kids and Best Day Camp for Teens, as part of Nickelodeon's Parents Connect's First Annual Parents' Picks Awards. Nickelodeon's Parents Connect (www.ParentsConnect.com), the online resource for parenting advice and community, asked parents to pick the best services in their local communities for the 2008 Parents' Picks Awards.

The Nickelodeon’s Parents Connect’s First Annual Parents' Picks Awards identified the best family oriented places and resources in 52 major U.S. cities. Categories included Best Kids' Museum, Best Toy Store, Best Playground/Park, Best Green Space, and many more. Users, real parents, voted for nominees online from May 19 to June 30, 2008. On July 15, 2008, the ParentsConnect.com site published the Parents' Picks winners and the winning venues' information will remain featured on the site for a year. All Parents' Picks businesses were nominated based on recommendations from ParentsConnect.com local city editors that live and work in the cities they cover. Users' votes and rankings ultimately determined which venues were selected as winners in their respective categories.
