Nauticus, Maritime museum in downtown Norfolk, US
The maritime center spans across multiple buildings along Norfolk's waterfront, featuring interactive exhibits about naval operations and marine sciences.
Established in 1994, Nauticus transformed Norfolk's waterfront into an educational destination centered around the decommissioned Battleship Wisconsin from World War II.
The maritime center integrates naval heritage with educational programs through exhibitions about ocean science, technology, and military operations.
Adults pay $17.95 for admission while children aged 3-12 enter for $14.00, with discounts available for military personnel and senior citizens.
Visitors can touch small sharks in specialized tanks and explore the interior compartments of the last battleship constructed by the United States Navy.
