About this adventure

Norfolk's Nauticus Maritime Discovery Center and the iconic historic Battleship Wisconsin offer an extraordinary maritime STEM adventure on the downtown waterfront. Families can tour the majestic teakwood main deck of the battleship, view the colossal 16-inch guns up close, and explore the indoor Nauticus interactive galleries. Kids love the hands-on naval science stations, digital ship navigation simulator, NOAA Science On a Sphere 3D projection globe, and the underwater shark and horseshoe crab touch lab. While the main Nauticus building is 100% stroller and elevator accessible with clean nursing rooms, note that narrow watertight doors and steep stairs inside the inner battleship interior are best navigated with baby carriers. Stroller check is available right before boarding the ship deck.
