Overview

Your private journey from Williamsburg to Nauticus and Battleship Wisconsin is enriched by an exceptional guide whose personal connections bring Norfolk’s naval storey vividly to life. Bambi Walters, grew up in the Norfolk area and worked as an engineer for the Naval Sea Support Centre supporting the Atlantic Fleet, offering guests rare insight into naval operations, ship systems, and the living ecology of the Chesapeake Bay. Her perspective blends military understanding with local history and coastal science. The Wisconsin guided Command and Control tour takes you through the “nerve centre” of the Battleship Wisconsin and is often led by a retired Navy veteran. After the Command and Control tour, Bambi will guide you through several additional decks, explaining shipboard life and the power behind one of America’s greatest battleships. Additional time may be spent with “hands on” activities in the Interactive Science Centre, viewing themed exhibits and watching HD films. Max of 7 people

Activity itinerary

Nauticus

  • 2h
  • Admission ticket included
Located on Norfolk’s waterfront beside the Elizabeth River, Nauticus is far more than a maritime museum—it is an immersive naval, science, and ocean discovery centre where adults and children can actively engage with ships, sea life, naval technology, and maritime history. Visitors move through hands-on galleries designed to explain how ships work, how oceans shape global trade, and why Norfolk became one of the most important naval centers in the world. One of Nauticus’s most popular family areas is its marine science section, where children and adults can interact directly with sea life. Visitors often enjoy: touching horseshoe crabs, observing local Chesapeake marine, and Learn about ecosystem supports both wildlife and naval activity. There is a large screen theatre that features maritime films and educational presentations, giving visitors a chance to sit briefly while still experiencing dramatic naval footage, ocean exploration films, and educational programming.

Battleship Wisconsin at Nauticus

  • 2h
  • Admission ticket included
A tour aboard Battleship Wisconsin is an unforgettable journey into one of America’s most powerful naval warships. Towering beside Nauticus, this massive battleship invites visitors to walk beneath towering 16-inch guns, explore preserved crew quarters, and stand on decks where sailors served during World War II, Korea, and the Gulf War. The highlight is the exciting Command & Control Tour, which leads into restricted operational spaces where radar tracking, tactical decisions, and battle coordination once occurred. Guests step inside authentic command rooms, view original consoles, and learn how Wisconsin launched Tomahawk missiles during Desert Storm. From the bridge, sweeping harbour views complete the experience, making visitors feel the scale, power, and history of one of the last great battleships ever built. On the weekends VIP tours can be arranged but sell out quickly.
