3 Best Places To See in Norfolk, VA

I absolutely love this place. I had a day off from work and I decided to come here and take a stroll. My mind was free from all of the complicated thoughts in the world and instead was replaced with what was right in front of me: beauty. It's just a beautiful area thar displays nature at her best. I can't wait until the spring when everything is in bloom. It's so quiet out here. It's nice to escape all of the noise that I live near. It's simple and designed beautifully. I went ahead after this visit and became a member. I can't wait to visit more often in the future.

Very refreshing, be physically readynits a long walk and a good exercise too. Very good scenery is relaxing. You gonna have peace of mind here. Are you gonna hear birds sound very cool. I love it. It's so amazing that I got to experience this once in a lifetime. They also have a butterfly garden, which is my favorite. It feels like you're in paradise. Maybe next year it will be more beautiful as they were still ongoing construction . I like the flowers. Gotta smell it. Its real.

We visited during the Holiday light festival this past weekend. It was absolutely fantastic and everyone in the family agreed it was the best light show we've seen. We had tickets for 7-8pm on Saturday night so it was pretty busy but the wait to get in and park wasn't terrible (about 30min) and was well managed. Once parked, there wasn't a wait to get into the garden. The path was well marked and not crowded.

Best museum I've been to in the Hampton roads area. It's free, the staff are very friendly and helpful. There's plenty to see including a Salvador Dalí portrait, Claude Monet, Henri Matisse, and other recognizable artists and styles. The glass works on display are stunning and intricate. I've been on the weekend both times I've visited and it never felt too crowded or overstimulating. Joyce J. Scott has some pieces on display here right now which are incredible. I had the pleasure of seeing her exhibit in Seattle but I was really excited to show her work to my partner today. It took us just under two hours walking around to see everything. The gift shop has a lot of beautiful finds as well, including an art vending machine which vends art from local artists. Highly recommend.

Super nice museum. There are sculptures from many ethics and parts of the world. Many things to see also painting. There are paintings of Picasso, Jackson Pollock, Salvadore Dali. All other museums are not allow you to see close up to the painting, but this museum no boundary which you can see very close to all art works. Glass blow shows at noon available . Also have glass blow workshop with fee. Free admission. RECOMMENDED!!!!

Great selection in the glass collection. Well known artists in the painting and sculpture rooms. Had a great lunch at the museum restaurant. All the staff were helpful and kind.
