Located on the downtown Norfolk waterfront, Nauticus is a maritime science museum that explores the economic, naval, and natural power of the sea. Nauticus features hands-on exhibits, marine life, 3D movies, the Hampton Roads Naval Museum, and the awe-inspiring Battleship Wisconsin. Nauticus is also home to Sail Nauticus community sailing center, the Half Moone Cruise & Celebration Center, and Victory Rover Naval Base Cruises.


Berthed at Nauticus, the Battleship Wisconsin (BB64) is one of four Iowa-class battleships - the largest and one of the last battleships ever built by the U.S. Navy. Walk the decks of history, and go back in time to experience this majestic ship that earned five battle stars during World War II, as well as seeing active duty during the Korean War and the first Persian Gulf War. Visitors can explore her decks on their own, or opt for a guided tour below decks for an in-depth look at how sailors lived and worked.
