My sister has lived in Virginia Beach for 25 years (she works for the VB school district) and I sent her an email with your questions and here is her response (FYI she has 4 kids a little older than yours (12 to 20) and doesn't golf so I didn't ask about courses):

The Jamestown Colony in Williamsburg is an interactive museum that is GREAT!

Then of course Busch Gardens, Great Wolf Lodge and Watercountry in Williamsburg.

I heard that there is a great zip lining park in Williamsburg too - it just opened this year.(Go Ape Park)

In Virginia Beach  there are fireworks on the beach on Saturday nights.  They have street performers and bands at the beach on Saturdays.  I would go to the south end of the beach for those - like streets 9th thru 17th streets and lots of gift shops...good people watching...

There are outdoor restaurants - like Calypso (12th street) and on 31st street there is a stage and outdoor restaurant that is fun - big statue of King Neptune (the restaurant there is a bit pricey).  On the water but not oceanfront is Chic's Restaurant where boats pull up to go to restaurant. (it's on an inlet)

Another couple of restaurants that are good but somewhat pricey:  Watermans and Crocs, Mahi Mah's, Lynnhaven Fish House, all those are oceanfront or bayfront.

Fun things to do in Va Bch:  Virginia Marine Science Museum (they currently have a zip line too), Ocean Breeze Waterpark, renting bikes at the beach.  As far as  beaches - we like the less crowded north end of the beach - but then it's only on street parking which can be hard to find.  We also like Sandbridge where they have public parking but is a bit out of the way.

Our on-line newspaper, PilotOnLine,  has regular events listed under the Hampton Roads section!

There is alot more going on but it depends on the weekend they are here.

I hope this is helpful!
