3 Best Landmarks in Norfolk, VA

An absolute must see for the entire family. The new interactive area is amazing with great fun for the entire family. Touring the ship gives us a glimpse into what life was like for the soldiers who manned this fabulous vessel. We have been to this museum at least two dozen times and each time we see and learn something new. The children love wondering around and exploring the ship while being able to actually see and touch things that they would otherwise never get to experience. The gift shop is adorable and offers a variety of items, that includes military memorabilia, toys, jewelry, self care and home decor. There is a great little place to get some food and cold drinks also. This is a museum that you could easily spend most of the day at because there is so much to see and do. Definitely a must see for the whole family.

This museum is a must visit for anyone in the Norfolk area. The museum portion has hands-on exhibits for almost everything nautical and amazing history lessons about the whole Chesapeake Bay area. This includes not only the navy, but the civilian shipping as well. It is pretty incredible The tour of the Battleship Wisconsin was a sobering look at how our Navy lived and fought at sea over 5 decades! The ship is an awe-inspiring monument to what it takes to protect our freedom and the sacrifices our armed forces make every day. A salute and thank you to you all.

Went there for Winterfest but have been before during the day. The exhibits in the main building are interesting for all ages and the ship never fails to amaze in the dark or the light. If anyone has any balance issues, going down inside the ship is probably not advisable, but walking on deck and talking with those who can answer questions and give more information on it makes the visit even more interesting. Also, love the gift shop inside the main building as well.

We have attended many events at the Harrison Opera house. From Black Jacket Symphony, to Swan Lake , to local dance competitions. It is by far one of my favorite venues. A little sketchy at night so stay alert. Not sure why we pay to park sometimes and sometimes not. Might be based on what you are doing there. Never a bad seat in there. Whether you sit in the orchestra or the balcony you will get a good view. Security did break the zipper of my daughter's competition dance bag when we went through Security and showed no remorse for that. So be careful with that. Even with the few random off things still an incredible venue.

I have never been here. Came to visit and booked tickets online for Peices of a Dream. It was great. Kinda loud, but music was super. Booked mezzanine seats right in the middle. A 1632 seat theatre makes viewing really nice. Sits at the corner of VA. Beach Blvd. And Granby Street. Parking available. Concession stand. Staff was friendly and professional. Thanks you guys for an enjoyable time.

Always love a night out at the Opera! The performances are always top-notch, the staff is very polite and I have yet to find a bad seat in the house. Do not over look a night at the Opera for your next special occasion. This is your chance to get dressed up and enjoy a night on the town.
