  3. Combo ticket for Battleship Wisconsin and Virginia Zoo in Norfolk, Norfolk3

    3. Combo ticket for Battleship Wisconsin and Virginia Zoo in Norfolk

    4.3· 31 reviews

    Access to Norfolk's Battleship Wisconsin, Nauticus, and Virginia Zoo — tickets valid until December 31, 2026, with no date restrictions for visits.

    The ticket is a great deal, though we faced an issue picking them up at the specified location when we couldn't print them. Eventually, we accessed the first attraction without any problems. This might have been influenced by the Government shutdown, as some attractions were Federal. It was a minor hassle, but overall we had a wonderful experience and would advise others to buy these tickets.floridagal970

    We were treated like the focus of attention throughout the entire experience, starting from our warm welcome at boarding. The staff promptly addressed us once we were seated, attended to our needs, and even bid us farewell as we disembarked. Overall, it was a truly comprehensive experience.Donald_L
