- In this video, we visit Norfolk, Virginia's maritime science center and museum, Nauticus. We will learn about the area's maritime history, especially as it relates to the US Navy's presence in Norfolk. We will give you a peek at their new exhibit "Norfolk in Time" and at the children's exhibit that is not yet open to the public: "Aquatica." We will also check out the museum within a museum that is housed in Nauticus - the Hampton Roads Naval Museum. And join us as we tour the USS Wisconsin, a retired battleship permanently docked at Nauticus. If you are planning a trip to Norfolk or the neighboring city of Virginia Beach, you may want to check this attraction out in person.
To see the Battleship Wisconsin decorated for Christmas as discussed in our video, check out our video here: • Christmas lights on th...

Amazing Nauticus Virginia`s Maritime Museum, and very good presentation.
Like 43. Happy Sunday!
"You sunk my battleship!" Nice video, Alice and Jack. 😊🛡️
Very interesting place. Did not know about mermaids being a symble of Norfolk. 130 of them? Wow!! So much history here. I've seen the giant battleship game sonwehere, but now I know where to find it. Battleship Wisconsin looks like and interesting tour.
Loved seeing the Veterans Memorial there outside the museum on this Memorial Day, Jack and Alice. We've taken the boat tour of the Naval Base and saw some of the ships which ended up there including the old Battleship "Wisconsin!" (We're from Wisconsin so it drew our interest) Wonderful museum with many great displays. Thanks for bringing us along.
What an awesome Maritime Museum. Love the sculptures, the scattered Letters is a great idea. Some great exhibits in this Maritime museum, very informative. Loved the aquarium. Great that you can see a battleship and board it. It is also great that you can do a self guided tour and a guided tour on the battleship. Oh my, that Silverware, can you imagine keeping that clean , no thank you! A great gift shop! Thank you for taking us along, this would be a great place to visit. Thank you Jack and Alice.
I've visited this once before whenever my old navy ship (USS Hayler) was along side around 1995 or so. I saw Bill Monroe perform at the park as well.
Awesome maritime Museum 😎👍
Absolutely wonderful place to visit where you can learn so many things, thanks so much for sharing your experience guys 👌👌you done excellent job, have a nice day
Wonderful video - greetings from Richmond, VA - just down the road.
What a wonderful and interesting museum vlog this has been, keep up the great work too! Have a lovely day, my friends~
Thanks so much for watching our tour of Nauticus. We are glad you found this museum to be as wonderful as we did. Thanks for watching and leaving such an encouraging comment!
8:43 love that aquarium ♥️
My uncle before he passed away was a US Navy and living in Richmond, VA. He must be very happy about this museum you've visited. Thank you for this virtual tour. I would love to visit this once I travel to the US. See you around. New friend. 😉
Beautiful Maritime Museum! The food looks yummy! Greetings from Palma de Mallorca!
Great video! I really enjoyed the tour of Nauticus and the surrounding park. The Armed Forces Memorial is a powerful tribute to those who made the ultimate sacrifice.
It's incredible to see the letters from service personnel and the emotions they conveyed. The exhibits at Nauticus, like the port of Virginia and the Jamestown exposition, are fascinating.
I also love the mermaid statues scattered throughout Norfolk. Thanks for sharing this wonderful experience with us!
This looks like such a great Maritime museum! Love the Homecoming statue of the sailor returning home after deployment. So many great statues, I love that they have mermaids all over town. Cool they have a cruise port too! So cool Jamestown is the first English settlement of the US. Love seeing inside the museum. Awe there are some really cool fish! The Norfolk in time exhibit is really neat to see how things changed over the years. So cool to see the tanks and ships outside. Awesome you can tour the ship self guided included in your ticket. So neat to see onboard too. Thanks for the fantastic tour Jack and Alice :)
Enjoyed the history and especially honoring those on Memorial Day! We need that life size battleship game!!! That would be great to take camping with us 😆 We enjoyed seeing the different rooms of the ship!! Enjoyed the video!!! 😁
That life size battleship game would be very popular at the campgrounds! The military memorial nearby was really unique and moving. Any time we can tour a Navy ship, we find it fascinating to learn the history of it and see what life was like on the ship. Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to comment!
This is so cool. I just put this on a list of place to see. I dont remember ever doing this place when lived in VA. LIKE 17. Thanks for the look. 👍👍👍
This is an amazing museum. It looks like one of those that puts you in information overload, and it would be great if you had a week to read everything. ❤
First great name for a battleship (I grew up in Wisconsin)! Back in February we stayed a block away from the museum at the Gaslight hotel! I really wanted to tour the battleship but we just didn't have the time! The prices seem pretty decent to see the museum and the battleship!
The ticket price to tour the museum and battleship are really reasonable. And there is a lot to see here. Hope you get to check it out on your next visit. The Wisconsin was a nice place to visit - though I wouldn't want to live in those servicemember bunks. They look to be about the size of a coffin. I am sure the state of Wisconsin has much nicer accomodations though! Thanks for watching!
Really.loved seeing this place. Amazing share. Such great pride in this area
Thank you for sharing a good video documenting a very nice museum. Like 34.
Nauticus is a really cool museum! There is so much to explore here. Thanks for watching our video. We are so glad you enjoyed it!
Ohh this was pretty fitting for Memorial Day 🙂 very historic museum out there in VA. Good place to visit. Some fun exhibits in there.. that battleship game gave me memories of my childhood hehe.. hope you guys have a great week ahead!
This looked a great museum with a lot to see and do and that park near it is great. Good to see the largest naval base in the world and hear that mermaids are a symbol of Norfolk . Its great that you can stay overnight on a battleship, our son would love that ! 😃It is also great that they have a documentary to watch there on the last battleship that the USA built and that you can play a giant game of battleship . Loved the footage of the fish and seahorse . Beautiful underwater footage of them. Its also good that there is a children's section and a timeline of Norfolks history and that you could see the officers staterooms. So good , no wonder you spent 3 hours there :) ~ Anna 👍
Such a cool video and a great way to celebrate our hero’s ❤💙Jenn
Nauticus is a really cool museum. I am surprised we had actually never been. Jack grew up in the area and we lived there for years when we first got married. But somehow, we had been on the battleship but missed the museum. It was fun to finally see what it was like. And yes - that Armed Forces Memorial outside was a lovely way to honor those who gave so much to our country!
I really enjoyed this. My boys would love exploring this place. I will have to right this down the next time we visit VA :) Thanks for all the great info you shared!! I appreciate all the hard work :) xoxo Melissa
Love the mermaid statues.I felt sad about the where soldiers die. A powerful tribute to those who made the ultimate sacrifice. Nice tables and food and souviniers
Hey guys! Wow that is one huge anchor. I love some military history so I would definitely enjoy this museum. That huge battle ship would be fun to play. I'm glad I chose Air Force over Navy because I would not do well in those tiny bunks. Enjoyed it my friends
We love touring battleships. Yep, that's a all day event for us
Someone told us about that place the last time we were in Virginia Beach. We’ll definitely have to check it out sometime.
Thanks for sharing. Enjoy the day and stay safe, my friend💞
Awesome museum, thanks for the look around.
Wow so beautiful video
❤❤❤
Great museum 🎉🎉🎉
Very beautiful Museum,Lovely💕
This is quite the museum. Last time I was on a ship this big was 40 years ago. 🐸
Love the memorial. A real unique concept. Was hoping you two would play a game of Battleship so we could watch one of you cheat! 😂
We really found the memorial here to be a unique idea as well. We actually wanted to play giant Battleship. But we got tired of waiting for the people playing to finish. We will have to go back sometime to cheat. Thanks for watching and commenting!
What a fun museum!
Great choice for a place to video, guys!
