    #1 on the map is Waterside Festival Market (photo 4) developed by James W. Rouse in 1983 (after our time in Norfolk). There is an information center there and they show the movie "Reflections" (admission) on Norfolk history.

    From here you can take a sightseeing bus to visit the Norfolk Naval Base (photo 2 which shows one of the buildings that was built for the 1906 Jamestown Exposition and is now used as senior officer's quarters), or a hop on/hop off trolley, or a ferry (#6 - photo 5) over to Portsmouth (photo 3) to do their walking tour.

    On the edge of the park (#18) is Nauticus which is designed to resemble a ship. The battle ship Wisconsin is also here. Or you can visit the Chrysler Museum (#13) or the MacArthur Memorial (#8).

    The USS Wisconsin is docked in downtown Norfolk. You can tour an actual battleship. Seeing the battleship gives you the idea of what our Naval servicemen have to live with when they are abroad.

    It is a nice place to walk and watch boats pass by. You might be lucky enough to see a battleship. Very peaceful area along the Elizabeth River.

  • Take the bus tour of the navy base. A city within the city.
    The bus enters the base and slowly goes past the destroyers, carriers, dry docks and other ships in the port. You also see the officers quarters as well as the enlisted mens barracks. Tour is narrated by navy personnel.

  • Walk along the water front park starting at the USS Wisconson. Sit on a bench and watch the activity in the busy harbor.
    The park hosts concerts and other activities.

  • Located at Nauticus: The National Maritime Center, the USS Wisconsin is a great exhibit of US Naval History. While there, you can also visit the Hampton Roads Naval Museum and NOAA exhibit.
