MENSUNny Beach Daze: September 23-25, 2022
Tidewater Mensa: Virginia Beach, VA

Early Fall is the best time for beach fun, with mild temperatures and plenty of sun. Tidewater Mensa's beach- and ocean-themed RG has something for everyone, and it overlooks the Boardwalk of Virginia Beach on the Atlantic Ocean! One low registration price gets you access to an amazing speaker track, a well-stocked game room with scheduled learn-and-play events for an assortment of Mensa Select® games, a jam session for the musically inclined (bring your own instrument), and hospitality/meals (chili Friday night, sandwiches platters Saturday midday, seafood dinner Saturday night, and nonstop munchies and adult beverages during our afternoon and evening hours of operation). Weather permitting, our local leaders will also be leading Saturday caravans to many of the area's best attractions, tentatively including indoor skydiving at iFly, ziplining at the Adventure Park, an aquarium visit, a trip to the Cape Henry Lighthouse with an included nature walk, the Military Aviation Museum, the Edgar Caycee Museum, and other local museum/attraction trips (TBD); additional charges may apply to those events, as well as to the wine- and bourbon-tasting events we are hosting on Saturday night. And did we mention... it's Virginia Beach, one of the most popular vacation destinations on the East Coast!

A breakfast buffet is provided on Saturday and Sunday mornings for hotel guests. Registration fees cover hospitality (Friday and Saturday dinner, Saturday lunch, snacks, beverages), badges, and speakers, but not any fees associated with area events or attractions outside the hotel. Additionally, RG wine- and bourbon-tasting events may incur an additional charge. You must be 21+ to consume alcohol. Saturday night's dinner will consist of a seafood dinner, with a couple of non-seafood and vegetable options. If this does not meet your dietary needs, we are willing to provide gift certificates on Saturday night to partially subsidize your alternative dining plans in the Ocean's 14 Restaurant on the first floor in lieu of the seafood dinner. The certificates will only be good for that location on that evening, and will be in the amounts of $30/adult, $25/teen, and $15/child.
