The Battleship Wisconsin has been at Nauticus for as long as I can remember, but I have to admit that I had never been on it until last weekend. The Wisconsin is one of the largest and last battleships ever built by the United States. The ship was launched in 1943 and served in WWII, the Korean War, and Desert Storm in addition to training hundreds of sailors.
Admission onto the ship is included in the regular Nauticus admission or can be purchased for $11 per adult and $9 per child. Kids 3 and under are free. Be sure to check out the hallway before going out to the ship. There is a movie beforehand and several informational reads on the way out.
Besides having some beautiful views of downtown Norfolk, the deck of the Wisconsin has a wonderful breeze and great views over the water. We were able to see cruise ships, sailboats, cargo ships, and a helicopter, all to the delight of my four year old.
If you haven't already, check out the Adventures On Deck program that Nauticus is offering. These are add ons to the Wisconsin ticket which are available for purchase for groups to do in small settings while socially distancing.
