MACARTHUR MEMORIAL REVIEWS
Very cool educational experience, you will learn a lot about Gen. Douglas MacArthur and see a bunch of interesting relics from the past.
Interesting, not crowded. Parking next door at the mall. Pretty park setting around the building. And….free!
There are a lot of things to learn and remember. Knowing history is knowing your country and who you are.

NAUTICUS REVIEWS
Amazing navy museum! 3 floors of facts and fun! They have amazing original boat equipment to touch and see. History at every turn! Not just the writing with pictures on the walls but films and documentaries playing. Educational games and brain boosters and even not so educational games like the old sonic. I personally loved the huge battle ship game! Once you circled all there is is see there (which could take hours) be sure to board the battleship itself! It's HUGE! You can play where they shoot the guns, go see where they slept and ate and bought things. It gives you a great respect for our Navy and the sacrifice they make to serve our country. Thank you all who have and are serving.
The tour is definitely worth it. In addition to seeing history, you can also see Norfolk downtown from this ship! There is also a souvenir shop inside.
Great Naval Museum within Nauticus and aside the USS Wisconsin.

HARRISON OPERA HOUSE REVIEWS
We were very impressed by our first visit here for a performance of La Traviata performed by the Virginia Opera. Facilities were well designed and customer friendly in terms of traffic flow, safety and rest rooms. The acoustics on the main floor were good. We enjoyed the performance just as much as a Mets production. We consider ourselves fortunate to have such a good venue for an excellent opera company in a small city. Oh, parking was easy and right on site, all for $5.
Fabulous. All the way around. I enjoyed it here long before the remodel. (The Center Theater) Look forward to my next time back.
