Everyone is familiar with Mr. Peanut who has been the face of Planters Peanut products for years. This iconic figure sporting a classic top hat, cane, white gloves and of course a monocle, is welcomed in every home. However, Mr. Peanut's actual home is in Suffolk, Virginia which unsurprisingly just happens to be the "The Peanut Capital of the World". Since 1967 the Planters Peanut Center has been conducting business here and supplying canned nuts, peanut and cashew brittle, all kinds of chocolate nuts and more to places all over the world. However, the largest city in Virginia by area is known for much more than peanuts.
The residents here have a list of attractions right outside their homes. They can enjoy the amazing Virginia weather and outdoors at places like Constant's Wharf Park & Marina, Great Dismal Swamp National Wildlife Refuge, Davis Lakes and Campgrounds. For thrill seekers, you can see Suffolk from high above during Decker Aviation Helicopter Rides or while falling from the sky at Skydive Suffolk. You can even see Suffolk from down under thanks to Grimsley Scuba Services. Going to visit the Seaboard Station Railroad Museum or the Suffolk Center for Cultural Arts where you can see a performance or concert and even take classes is a favorite. For sports lovers there are three golf courses, tennis courts, batting cages and more.
Besides taking advantage of the amenities, there is always something planned in Suffolk. An ongoing event that is always a favorite is Suffolk Farmers' Market, as well as the T.G.I. F. Summer Concert Series throughout the summer season of course. One of the more unique events includes Legends of Main Street: A Suffolk Ghost Walk where you will walk by lantern light through the eerie shadows of Main Street while listening to unsolved mysteries and legends. Or the four hour excursion at the Great Dismal Swamp Safari-Life After Wildfire with a variety of wildlife is a true adventure. Others include Family Game Nights, community movies, National Night Out and Taste of Suffolk Downtown Street Festival. This festival highlights the best restaurants in Suffolk while having daylong entertainment for everyone. Suffolk's restaurants are also featured during Suffolk Restaurant Week.
