The Virginia Living Museum is a must-visit destination, offering an immersive experience that combines a botanical garden, animal sanctuary, aquarium, science center, and nature park. It showcases the diverse fauna and flora of Virginia through interactive exhibits and hands-on activities for all ages. Visitors can explore habitats housing red wolves, otters, bobcats, bald eagles, and other wildlife. The museum also features a Butterfly Garden, Conservation Garden, Green Living House with native plants from Virginia.
The parking is fantastic. The customer service both online and at the front desk is phenomenal. My kids were thrilled and enjoyed every aspect of this museum. I love the flow of their exhibits. Regardless if there are school field trips or Earth day celebrations during spring break, this museum handles large crowds of people very well and effortlessly. The dinosaur park and adventure is a well worth the museum visit alone.

It was a unique experience, kind of half zoo/aquarium, half nature trail. A few of the animals were not on display and there wasnt a wide variety of animals. If you have AAA, you get a $1 discount. Overall the animals looked happy and healthy, the exhibits were nice and the staff were good about putting up enrichment activities for the animals. Great for young kids, but you can see everything in an hour. Unless you also do the planetarium which was only open Thur-Sun. I went on Tuesday. No crowds early in the morning, but during the summer lots of summer camp kiddos. Overall, it was neat, but I wouldn't make a trip just for this museum/zoo/aquarium. It had a really cool dino area though with fossils and stuff.
My family had a blast at the Virginia Living Museum! It was so fun to walk the boardwalk and see animals native to Virginia. We also got to watch an otter feeding and learn about otters. I thought the dinosaur section would be camp-y but was surprised to find real fossils displayed in little cabins there. My two-year-old loved seeing the dinosaur replicas, of course. We will definitely visit again!
Loved all of the interactive exhibits here, they were fascinating. My family and I were particularly entranced by a sand pit that had a projected topography that changed depending on the hills and valleys we created in the sand. Great place to take children, wonderful indoor exhibits and a fantastic outdoor trail that was fun and inspiring. My family and I got through the entire building and nature trail in about three hours without rushing past interesting signage.
I hadn't visited this museum for many many years. Took my grandkids here and my daughter and we had an absolute ball. The current traveling exhibit is dinosaurs, and what they had was amazing. Lots of hands-on activities, and lots of great information, the kids were in heaven. The otter was adorable and we made it to the feeding which was quite a treat. The exhibits are all outstanding and the staff was very friendly and informative.
Been making memories here since I was a kid and recently visited while vacationing in my hometown. The staff loves what they do and it shows. The animal husbandry is better than most zoological facilities. And I love that it focuses on educating on local wildlife!
The otter was definitely the star of the show though 🦋🦦
A nice museum, it is wonderful for families and groups. Different exhibits and such. I have some gripes. One being it is over 20$ for those 13 and older. It is pretty pricey compared to what is offered. Still nice to go. They do have penny machines that flatten a penny into a collectible costs 1$ though.
We have had a membership for over 5 years now. This is hands down one of our favorite places to visit over and over.
Even before we had children, my husband and I always had a fantastic time visiting.
With children and it's obviously such a great place to go and explore.
Every time you're there, there's always a hidden corner to find a new activity to keep the kids busy.
Nora is a favorite of ours, but all of the animals have a special place in our heart.

Military Museums
Nestled in Huntington Park Beach, the Virginia War Museum is a treasure trove for anyone interested in American military history. This fascinating museum showcases an extensive collection of over 65,000 artifacts that span from 1775 to today. Visitors can explore a diverse array of exhibits featuring everything from uniforms and weapons to vehicles and personal memorabilia. Among its notable displays are poignant pieces like sections of the Berlin Wall and the outer wall from Dachau Concentration Camp, which serve as powerful reminders of historical events.
Thoroughly enjoyed visiting the Virginia War Museum while on my way to Williamsburg. The admission is very cheap but the lessons and stories learned were priceless. I definitely recommend others to visit, especially while on-the-go.

This is a nice museum. Very interesting with a lot of artifacts and information. I would have given it 5 stars except for one exhibit. In the farthest corner of the museum, by the emergency exit door, hidden by another case is a small plaque. On it are listed a few of the women KIA in the Iraq and Afghanistan wars.
It's part of a tiny exhibit of women in the war, in a hallway.
Surely the museum can find a better place to highlight the sacrifice of these military casualties. And as a Veteran who happens to be female, I have to say, if you want to highlight women who serve, don't put the entire exhibit in an exit hallway.
Lots of small arms from WWI AND WWII. American, German and Japanese. From the American Revolution to the war in Afghanistan the museum has a little bit of everything. Lots of machine guns from both WWs. They also have a WWI tank which you can see inside of. It's a neat museum, not to big as to take up your whole day but enuf to keep it interesting.
Went here on a whim while on vacation.
It looks sort of small and not overly impressive from the outside but once you get in I was honestly shocked.
It is hands down one of the top military museums I have ever been in.
It covered all eras of the US history and had amazing exhibits and items in the displays.
I cannot recommend this place enough if military museums are something that interest you!
Geared more towards adults and kids who can read and not touch. Lots and lots of cool historical items. I’m not a huge history buff, but our guided tour was exceptionally well explained with an emphasis on the advancements of war fighting and war life, era by era.
Very cool meseum! I would say the tanks and guns etc. outside are way more interesting than the inside. The kids love this place! Family friendly although you occasionally have some shady people walking around the park.
First time going here, I can recommend anyone that is interested in the history of the wars that were fought in Virginia. It starts from the American revolution all the way to GWOT. We had a tour guide and he did an amazing job!
For a war museum it really small.

Nestled in Newport News, Virginia, Lee Hall Mansion stands as a remarkable testament to the region's rich history and architectural beauty. Constructed between 1851 and 1859 by the affluent Richard Decauter Lee, this antebellum gem showcases stunning Victorian architecture. Once serving as a Confederate command post during the Civil War under Generals Magruder and Johnston, it now operates as a captivating house museum.
Kelsey, our tour guide, was engaging in her well placed passion for conservation of the mansion. The home is lovingly restored with period and replica furnishings. Learned a lot about Gentleman Planter Mr Lee and turnover of the property over time. Highly recommend a visit.

The gal was very informative and loved doing it, beautiful place to visit and learn history!
This place was amazing! Our tour host Sarah was very knowledgeable and was happy to answer as many questions as we wanted to ask. The history and beauty of this property makes it well worth a visit!
This is a great stop on the way to/from Williamsburg. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff! The house is in great condition.
Beautiful land and home. The tour guide was very informative about the many historical events that happen on the land as well as the battle that happen on the land. I would recommend many to check out this huge piece of history and make sure you walk the land.
Attended here for the On to Richmond event. Great historical place and worth visiting. We really enjoyed the Civil War Reenactment! #ontorichmond2017
Our tour guide was wonderful. She shared so much history and knowledge. It was a great tour.
Beautifully restored. Good tour guide. Interesting history

Nestled in Newport News, Virginia, the Newsome House Museum & Cultural Center stands as a tribute to J. Thomas Newsome, a distinguished attorney and journalist who significantly impacted African American history and culture. Built in 1899, this charming Queen Anne-style home is not only an architectural gem but also a vital gathering place for the local African-American community. The museum showcases interactive exhibits that celebrate African-American heritage through art and artifacts while hosting various educational programs and events throughout the year.
So inviting and informative when I’ve visited with friends the museum and we’ve got a private tour of the house. I only recommend this place for getting a good picture about this beautiful historical place!

Definitely a spot to hit, if you love & want a slice of history & culture, in Newport News, Va.
Had a great tour and conversation with guide, James Pope.
Must see! Well preserved historical home in Newport News. Interesting history and special exhibits housed in this home owned by a black lawyer in the late 1800's/early 1900's.
Look past the neighborhood and find this gem . The guide was amazing . Learned tons. Newsome is inspiring
For recent or long term residents of the Hampton Roads area, this lovingly restored home is an essential visit to know & understand the social & political history of this region.
Mr & Mrs Newsome shared their oasis with the African American communities of the area - providing shelter, meeting spaces, political discourse & legal recourse.
The gentleman who answered the door was a bit rude, complaining loudly about how we didn't call in advance and said, "I don't know what you people can't understand about that." Our group only had 7 people.
The tour guide, Tad, was great and it was a very informative tour. I recommend calling in advance, though, if you plan to visit.
We've been touring various areas of the city lately and saw the sign for this place on the interstate and added it to the must-see list.
What a well-cared for, beautiful home! The docent was very knowledgeable about the family, home, and community events. They have furniture original to the family, more than we've seen locally or indeed regionally.
Absolutely recommend, especially for local history fans.

Museum
The James A. Fields House, once the residence and law office of the renowned teacher and lawyer in Newport News, has been meticulously restored and transformed into a museum. This historical site also served as the first hospital for the African-American community in the area. Visitors can explore this well-preserved piece of early 1900s history through guided tours led by knowledgeable docents who are eager to share insights about its cultural significance.
A piece of Downtown Newport News history that remains unblemished and in tact.

Historic Endview is a museum that features an enduring home and plantation from 1769, which showcases tours, exhibits, Civil War reenactments, and special events. The site was also used as the venue for the Colonial Virginia Council's (Scouting) 30th anniversary celebration. Additionally, it is a great location for camping and outdoor scouting activities. Visitors can learn about the history of the land through knowledgeable guides during their visit to this small but well-set-up house.
I did not go on the tour but instead took the afternoon to simply walk the grounds and let the history “soak” into my feet. I believe a lot of people go to places and follow a guide around and read a lot of placards without actually getting to know the history of a place.
If you don’t do it anywhere else do it here! The cemetery was my favorite part. One of the most eerie and peaceful places I’ve ever been. You can feel the ghosts and bones going back almost 400 years. It was very enjoyable to sit out there in that grove and then to walk the bottomland around it getting a “feel” for what “they” saw and felt, the people that lived there and that have come before. I highly encourage anyone to take a day to walk around the grounds here to really enjoy the history of this place.

Peaceful, beautiful and historic. Definitely worth a visit.
We wish there were signs stating that the location was open for tours. We saw and stopped to read the historical markers on our way to Yorktown, and from the main road it appeared that the location was a private home, so we did not pursue any further. It wasn't until later on back at our hotel room in Williamsburg that we realized that the location can be visited. Make sure to do your homework before you travel; we always try our best, but we overlooked this location. Again, a sign out by the main road would have been nice.
Great tour guide amazing place. The owners allso has my last name.i think am related to the.a must vist for history buffs
Great place with knowledgeable tour guides. Had a nature walk maintained by the Virginia Master Naturalists Peninsula chapter. The annual Paw Paw festival is amazing with seminars, tastings and paw paw picking. Great for the whole family.
The Haunted Trail every Fri+ Sat in October was REALLY great.
Kudos to City of Newport News and all who made it possible.
Great spookyness but not too scary. Appropriate for Children 8 and up
It's nice there, they have walking paths and open space. A lot of history there.
Our first time here. Wr really enjoyed touring the home, and walking around the property.

The Newport News Victory Arch, constructed in 1919, is a grand stuccoed structure that serves as a location for war memorials and victory parades. It is surrounded by a beautifully manicured garden that offers an excellent view if you follow the path beyond it. The arch is dedicated to those who lost their lives during the great war, and visitors should take time to appreciate their sacrifices and hardships endured before their early loss.
The Victory Arch near the Battleship is a beautiful and meaningful landmark. It is a quick stop, but worth visiting to appreciate its historical significance and craftsmanship. The arch is well-maintained, and its location makes it easy to walk along the waterfront and see the ships. A nice photo spot and a moment to reflect on the Virgina's history.

A nice memorial paying tribute to WWI service members
The Victory Arch in Newport News, Virginia, is a historic monument that pays tribute to the brave service members who fought in World War I and beyond. Built in 1919, the original wooden structure welcomed soldiers returning from war, offering a grand and heartfelt homecoming. In 1962, it was replaced with the current permanent stone arch to preserve its significance as a symbol of gratitude and remembrance for generations to come. It is not in the best area of town. Parking is available on the nearby lots or on the street. There are several plaques around the one-block site. The engraved inscriptions and plaques on the arch honor the sacrifices of military personnel.The arch stands prominently on 25th Street. It stands about 3 stories tall and has a clean, timeless design that seems to blend very well with its surroundings, creating a respectful and relaxing atmosphere. The site is located in the heart of downtown Newport News. The Victory Arch is surrounded by notable attractions. It’s just a short walk from Victory Landing Park, where you can enjoy waterfront views and open spaces. Visiting the Victory Arch is not only a historical experience but also an opportunity to connect with the city’s deep military heritage dating back to WWI.
July 4th Stars in the sky hosted by Najmah Grimes was a great experience. The family and I eas invited by my aunt to this event. I'm glad we attended. What a show case, fir works the Custom band wa excellent. Playing tunes from past and current. Face painting and food trucks plus to end it all with fireworks. So thankful also for the event staff and local fire frighters and police on land and water for keeping whom were on the grounds. The crowd was peaceful and from what I can see was in good spirits.
Street parking was readily available and an easy walk to view and visit.
The sacred fire that burns and the historic signs make it an educational experience as well as a memorial to those who served. There are clear views of the naval carriers. There are areas to sit and enjoy or gather a picnic while taking it all in
Really like the park. Great photo location. Unfortunately the walk is very short and there's often a bit of "rif raf" in the area. Active drug deal across the street and domestic dispute. Down by the water was more calm.
Beautifully manicured garden around the arch. Great view if you follow the path past the garden. Cruisers to the left aircraft carriers to the right doesn't get much better. Also if you take the time to smell the flowers if I might say read the signs while you're there. I believe the arches dedicated to those that died from the great war. We should appreciate all that they gave for us and the hardships they had to endure, prior to an early loss of ...
At this arch you will find a "sacred" fire that burns almost indefinitely and representing it's wealth of historical importance. Entrance upon this stone foundation will surely separate the tourist from the general surrounding of Downtown Newport into a lavishly kept and large open ended park on the way to an outlook over the waters and with a clear view of the Naval carriers, some Maritime patrol on occasion and the company of families, friends and others traveling the walk for sightseeing, fitness or particularly in my case, meditation, a great meditation spot listening to the waters flows and the light hum as evidence of human engineering in the distance that creates an ambient sound and the area is very quiet on Sundays. Tourists may fish at the furthest left end of the park and will find law enforcement monitoring the area briefly for safety & security. A rather nice looking Huntington Ingalls corporate building is low key set aside from the park on the way in. On every 4th of July this park comes to life even more with concessions, a stage for music performances, huge fireworks displays, a local patriotic oldstyle band at the fiery monument, glow sticks and super packed full of people. This is a place to creates your memories with the people you love, your family and your friends. Enjoy it's simplicity, thank me later but most importantly, thank yourselves for embracing the simplicity and historical importance of the monument and Victory Landing Park. Stay for the sunset and take a moment to reset before your departure it's a beautiful sight.
Bruh they got some big ships. They got no cannons tho!! How they gon protect themselves from evil seamen brah!? My uncle drew friggen farted on da fire yo! His crazy ahh 😂✌️✌️ pmo xd lmfao kai
Performing arts theater
Concert hall
The Ferguson Center for the Arts, located within Christopher Newport University, has become a prominent hub for performing arts enthusiasts in Virginia since its establishment in 2004. With over 2 million visitors, it offers three distinct concert halls: the Diamondstein Concert Hall accommodating 1725 guests, the Peebles Theatre with 453 seats, and the intimate Studio Theatre seating just 200.
I had the pleasure of seeing the Virginia Symphony orchestra and chorus here. This is a beautiful venue with modern architecture. There is no bad seat in the house. The acoustics are wonderful here. The seats are very clean and comfortable, with posh felt. The whole venue is clean and spacious. During shows, they have a concession area to buy snacks and drinks; including wines. They also give out sippy cups with any drink purchased, so you are able to take it in the theater with you. The staff here were friendly and helpful.

Fun plays, music and events. Seating is wonderful with plenty of price options. May have a walk from parking but they offer a free golf cart shuttle. (Large golf cart carries at least 6 people). So handicapped accessible. Parking takes forever to get out after the show. The parking staff are excellent and no fault of theirs. Plenty of helpful staff inside can direct you to ticket booth or seating. Will call line was a bit slow so give extra time if having to pick up the tickets. Seating is comfortable. Small concession before and during intermission. Fun local place to see a play.
A good performance space, well maintained. Nothing looks run down. The acoustics are impressive. My only gripe is that I parked in the garage and, there being no signs, followed the crowd to a door that turned out to be the performer's door. Then had to walk what seemed like a long way around the large building, down a woodland path, to a door on the side. There are apparently golf carts to shuttle patrons, but none were in sight and, again, no signs anywhere. You walk out of the parking garage and are just left to guess.
We came for the Celtic Angels Ireland show. The facility is wonderful. Seats are padded and comfortable. Nice amount of leg room and the room temperature was nice and comfortable too.
Parking was free and convenient.
The Ferguson Center was very nice, and the staff were very friendly. The Cinderella Ballet performance was truly awesome.
We attended this performance because my daughter, who attends an Academy high school, was required to see a ballet performance and take notes for an essay. She was taking her notes carefully using her phone’s flashlight on her lap so she could see her notebook. Unfortunately, a woman sitting nearby told my daughter she was being rude and should not use her phone. I explained to this woman that my daughter was using it only to take notes for her school assignment.
To ease the situation, I switched seats with my daughter. However, when I turned around, I saw her crying. She was upset and no longer able to enjoy the performance, which was very difficult for me as a parent to see.
Later, I noticed the couple speaking with staff and being reseated in another row. It made me wonder—if I had asked to be moved, would my daughter have been given the same treatment.
Went to go see the 8 Bit Big Band. Overall, it's a really good show. Staff handled seats well, and there was also live piano entertainment in the lobby. Though during the show, mixing was a little off. There was almost no bass, and I had to really focus to hear it. The strings section was quiet, but i think it was intended to be that way. But the performance was spectacular! We sat in the front row of the Parterre, great view and acoustics were nice, good balance of amplified and true sound. Speakers could use an upgrade. Overall loved the experience.
This venue is a perfect size in my opinion. We have been on several occasions and each section of seats has a perfect view. There
is a free parking garage within walking distance and everything is also very organized. There was a golf cart service from the parking garage to the venue for those with issues walking. Inside, there were helpful people to take you to your seat and friendly staff to get drinks. Not a large selection of drinks but enough. This past time we went to see Dragons & Mythical Creatures and it didn't disappoint. Wonderful performances and very interactive with the crowd.
The Ferguson Center for the Arts never disappoints! All seats are great seats and well worth the price. We ds the O'Jays and loved every minute of it!!

Maritime museum
Museums
Specialty Museums
The Mariners' Museum and Park, also known as Americas National Maritime Museum, is a comprehensive museum dedicated to maritime history. Founded in the 1930s, it showcases the history of seafaring from European exploration to the modern US Navy. The museum boasts an extensive collection of over 35,000 maritime artifacts including antique vessels, ship models, ancient documents, and paintings. The on-site USS Monitor Center features parts of the Civil War-era ironclad warship and a life-sized replica.
This is an absolutely awesome museum. I was really shocked that it cost $1.00, kind of unheard of nowadays.
The museum itself has some fantastic artifacts, and it is really put together well.
The volunteers that we encountered were great, very friendly, and very informative.
This is truly a great museum, and I highly recommend it.
Scott L — Google review
Absolutely loved it. One wing of the building is dedicated to the USS Monitor and the Battle of Hampton Roads, including a partial reconstruction of a Confederate Ironclad (Maybe the Virginia, don't remember) and a reconstruction of the Monitor you can walk on the surface of and ring the bell. The video was really good, surround sound, screens all around while we sat on swivel chairs, and a handy map showing where the ships were so the battle made sense.
Tucked out of the way is an exhibit of small craft from around the world that was fascinating! The room with the models had a volunteer there actively building models.
They have a variety of scavenger hunts for the kids if varying difficulty, which my kids were super dedicated to.
The small playground outside had good shade and a little wooden USS Monitor to play on.
I would love to come back again if we are ever in the area
Whether you are a tourist or a local trying to decide how to spend some free time, the Mariners' Museum and Park is a clean place to get away from the noise. There are a ton of ways to mix-and-match features of this space to make for a fun and informative day! A few highlights:
- Admission to the air-conditioned Museum is just $1. Realistically speaking, even if museums (or this particular subject matter) are not the vibe of everyone in your party, it is a very reasonable amount of money to pay to occupy a decent amount of time if you're looking for something to help fill the day's itinerary. For those who ARE into this type of thing, though, you could easily spend hours looking through the exhibits. Not to mention the docents are INCREDIBLY knowledgeable and excited to share their wisdom with you. :) Complete with a clean bathroom, activities for kids, and a small gift shop!
- New inside of the Museum as of Spring of 2025 is Column 15, a pleasant cafe offering a variety of coffees, teas, and pastries. There is indoor and outdoor seating available.
- The VERY well-kept Noland Trail that is generally open from sunrise to sunset-ish hours. There is ample parking, as it is intended for visitors to both the Museum and the Noland Trail. The full Trail is an approximately 5.0-mile loop, but there are a few alternate access points along the way. I have walked and jogged the full distance alone at all hours of the day and have always felt safe! The only thing that spooked me was the occasional deer. :)
BE AWARE: I believe the Museum has a copper roof, so cell service inside the building and around the Noland Trail is quite spotty. Though it may be a bit inconvenient, couldn't we all use a break from our phones from time to time? :)
I thought it was going to be a boring museum, but it was really great! The thing that made it so enjoyable was doing the full museum scavenger hunt with my daughter while my husband and older son took their time learning about the boats.
Don't pass this up just because you have kids along, get a scavenger hunt and have fun!
The Mariners' Museum and Park is a wonderful place to see many fascinating boats and dive into history! I spent a few great hours there. Definitely worth a visit if you’re passing by.
Amazing experience! Check out the monitor and Merrimack, America's Cup exhibition, vessels from across history, models, or pieces from ancient ships. Worth the trip... And it's only $1!
The historic ironclad "Monitor" is housed here for preservation. Along with many other artifacts from the history of sea farers. Many exquisite models abound also. Allow plenty of time to soak in all that this museum has to offer. Admission is $1.00. Leave a generous tip afterwards.
My sole reason to visit the museum was to see the Bellamy Eagle. I expected to just see it and go. Spent 4 hours there and could have stayed longer. Very interesting.

Nestled in the heart of Newport News, Smoke BBQ Restaurant & Bar is a delightful haven for barbecue enthusiasts. This laid-back eatery specializes in homestyle, hardwood-smoked BBQ that promises to tantalize your taste buds with its rich flavors and tender textures. The menu boasts an array of mouthwatering options, from smoky wings and loaded baked potatoes topped with brisket to hearty sandwiches like the oyster poboy and pulled pork.
This was our first visit here, and it was phenomenal in every way. The service was excellent, and the food was even better. The patio is amazing, plus they are super dog friendly here. Our pups really enjoyed their visit too. Definitely will be back soon even though we are almost an hour away. We had the wood fire pizza and taco Tuesday tacos. So good!!!

Logan was amazing server on the outside patio he was very nice and attentive to our request, the outdoor patio is very calm quiet and not alot of noise for being beside Warwick. Thank you to Logan ,
Update we went again last night 9.14.25 and another gentleman took our table when he didn't have to due to our server being busy . We really Appreciate him letting us know and being very knowledgeable of the menu, thank you to him and the hostess for being amazing and the staff was wonderful .
Honestly the service was poor. I asked for an iced tea and received it. As the meal took longer than expected (which was ok not disappointed by that) I requested a refill. Three separate times the waiter walked by slapping his head saying “oh I forgot “. On the third time an also ordered dessert a cheesecake. That is when I finally got my refill. The brisket Philly was (look at the picture) overcooked to the point of being burnt.
The cheesecake was the best part of the meal (for $10 a slice it better be good)
I will try again but I had to share my most recent experience
Staff was on point—fast, friendly, and knew the menu like pros. We grabbed a spot outside, and the vibe was perfect. Laid-back, shaded, and yes—our dog got treated like royalty.
We tried the smash burgers and their spicy garlic fries. Unreal. Crispy, juicy, just the right amount of heat. Finished it off with their house-made lemonade, which somehow made everything taste even better.
We’re not even local, but this place just made our “worth the drive” list. Coming back for brunch next time.
This place is great! As soon as I walked in Nana, and Tyler made this experience awesome. The food was great also. Definitely check this place out. Plus they got the NFL package and a ton of TVs .
This place is great. The smoked meat is def the star here. The sides could be better but overall good. The prices are kinda pricey about $30+ per person. I got garlic parm wings (needed more garlic parm flavor) the greens and mac.
Barbecue has some nice smoke to it. Really love and you can tell that they’re using wood very flavorful. Brisket was OK was not as juicy as would’ve hoped for. Beef ribs were very solid. They have very, very good side, dishes, and plenty of choices. Baked beans were strong, and the pork rinds were very good.
Food was good, but lacked presentation. Services was slow, waited 15 minutes to be acknowledged after being seated, then she was somewhat attentive there after. Atmosphere was causal and worn.

It offers a diverse range of static and rotating exhibits, as well as opportunities for visitors to create their own artwork.

Really nice place to take the family and if youre an educator. The exhibits are beautiful. The tour guides are also exquisite 😊. They're very knowledgeable, animated, and helpful.

The Peninsula Fine Arts Center is a cozy little culture center with exhibits that come and go. It is very small and it will not take you long to see everything in great detail. You can knock out two in one with the Mariners Museum on the same campus. The highlight of my visit was the Mayan, Pre-Colombian and the Veracruz Culture exhibits. Some of the artifacts were thousands of years old. Truly mind blowing. The exhibits were also very wheelchair friendly but again the center was very small. So you may want to call ahead to see if a large group maybe scheduled on the day of your visit.
We visited for the ArtStart class. It's a really good preschool art class with story time. My 3 year old loves the class, teacher and the play area. All staff we've met are really friendly and helpful.
My son and I thoroughly enjoyed the hands on play. I will say the advertisement for the child's class on fb shouldn't say it's free. Because it's not it's with paid admission that the class is free for children. That would be my only qualm.
$1 dollar admission through the summer!! What’s not to love? But in all seriousness, they had a beautiful walk around with paths, lush greenery, bird watching programs. On the inside, local young aspiring artists work in different medias. Rembrandt’s etchings we’re detailed and the museum provided magnifying glasses which I had no idea I even needed, but it proved useful the entire time!!
Loved the exhibit and learned quite a bit. The staff who gave tours were knowledgeable and friendly and had great patience with the class I was with. Will definitely return for the next exhibit!
Great place to tale the kids and visit. It cost only $1 and you will be. Done in an hour or less. There are a lot of hands on activities. Great place for kids to getenergy out.
The hands on toys exhibit was fantastic. The grandchildren had a great time. We had fun creating things in the craft room. There's also a scavenger hunt but my grandchildren were a little bit young for it to hold their attention for long.
The best thing, it only cost a $1 per person for those above 5.

Love the reclining chairs and food was good. Also love the area my Husband and I enjoyed walking around the fountain/pond after movie.

Museum
The Lee Hall Depot, situated in the Lee Hall neighborhood of Newport News, Virginia, is a significant historical site that has been transformed into a museum. Originally built in 1881 as a one-story cargo bay, it expanded to include a two-story main section in 1893. Visitors can explore the beautiful building and enjoy captivating model trains and creative displays. The knowledgeable staff provides insights into the station's history and the county's heritage.
I took my 8 year old granddaughter to check out and learn about the Lee Hall train Depot.
It was great and lots of activities for the kids today.
I've wanted to go and it finally worked out today.

The restored Lee Hall Depot Train Station is a Fun Place to visit for all…
The Lee Hall Depot was erected circa 1881 on the Chesapeake & Ohio rail line. After construction, the village of Lee Hall rapidly developed around the depot. The wooden building consists of a two-story central section flanked by single-story wings. The Stationmaster and his family had living quarters on the second floor of the central section. Serving communities in then-Warwick County as well as lower James City County, it is the only remaining station of five on the Lower Virginia Peninsula.
Passenger service at the station ended in the late 1970s, and in 2008 CSX (formerly C&O Railroad) donated the depot to the City of Newport News. The City relocated the building across the tracks to prevent its demolition. It was restored in collaboration with the Lee Hall Train Station Foundation. The depot offers exhibits highlighting the impact of the railroad on Warwick County and the City of Newport News as well as information on railroad history and Lee Hall village.
Great for families with toddlers because of the playroom with wooden trains!
Great for local history and train lovers!
I went with my kids field trip. It was a nice little museum with a lot of information. The ladies there that day did a great job with the kids and walk through. Cute caboose to check out too!
This is a delightful gem of a museum run by some fantastic and passionate and knowledgeable folks. The kids had a great day wandering around, seeing the Caboose on display and watching trains go by.
This place is a real gem! The staff here were excellent. They have tons of kid friendly activities here along with some great historical information. Definitely worth checking out.
Interesting little museum with many displays of the historic uses of the building. The have a wonderfully restored C&O caboose with bay windows named Chessie.
Great small museum with some interactive exhibits that both kids and adults can enjoy.

Museum
The USS Monitor Replica is part of the Mariners' Museum and offers a well-done reconstruction of the historic ship. Visitors can explore real artifacts and reconstructions, including a replica casemate of the CSS Virginia. The museum provides extensive information about the Monitor's brief but impactful history, alongside salvaged parts of the ship and a conservation area that truly brings its story to life. While visitors cannot touch or handle items, they can enjoy videos, pictures, and informative displays.
Amazing of feat of engineering back in the day. To see an actual size of the ship, makes you feel stunned.

It was very nice. Volunteers were very helpful and my 8 year old enjoyed the scavenger hunt. Not sure why there were so few people.
Part of the Mariners' Museum, this replica is well done. Seeing it next to salvaged parts of the ship and near the conservation area really brought the history to life.
Great museum with good replicas and many original pieces.
Museum with the replica of USS Monitor, replica of a casemate of CSS Virginia and a lot of stories and historic artifacts.
Everything there is to know about the Monitor - its brief life and death, with real artifacts and WONDERFUL reconstructions!
Kids really enjoyed it. They couldn't touch and pick up things, but that is okay. It would have been fun for the kids to try on things or touch some things. I loved the video, pictures and information.
Simple but interesting as a quick family activity

Army museum
The Army Transportation Museum is a fascinating destination for anyone interested in military history and transportation. The museum features a diverse collection of vehicles, ranging from horse-drawn carriages to modern armored tanks, as well as helicopters, trains, and boats. Visitors can explore both indoor and outdoor galleries showcasing antique equipment and various terrains.
I had the privilege of visiting the Army Transportation Museum, and I must say, it was an absolute delight for anyone with an interest in military history. This hidden gem is a testament to the dedication and hard work of the curators and staff who have meticulously preserved the rich history of army transportation.
The museum is a treasure trove of military vehicles, ranging from vintage jeeps and tanks to helicopters and transport planes. The sheer diversity of vehicles on display is impressive, and it provides a unique opportunity to understand the evolution of army transportation over the years.
One of the highlights of the visit was the informative exhibits and displays. Each vehicle and artifact is accompanied by detailed information, providing visitors with a deeper understanding of its role in military operations. The museum also does an excellent job of showcasing the brave men and women who served in these vehicles, often under challenging conditions.
The interactive elements at the museum, such as the opportunity to climb into some of the vehicles and the chance to try out a military simulator, make the experience even more engaging, especially for younger visitors.
The staff at the Army Transportation Museum are incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about their work. They are more than happy to answer questions and share fascinating stories about the vehicles and their history.
In conclusion, the Army Transportation Museum is a hidden gem that deserves more recognition. Whether you're a military history enthusiast or just looking for an educational and enjoyable outing, this museum is a must-visit. It's a wonderful tribute to the men and women who have served in the armed forces and an opportunity to gain a deeper appreciation for their contributions. I highly recommend it, and I can't wait to visit again in the future!

Very cool museum that is located on base at Ft Eustis. It's also FREE, although we did donate into the donation box. Indoor exhibits are mostly in chronological order with plenty to see. Outdoor exhibits feature trains, planes, helicopters and other forms of transportation. I would allocate at least two hours to see everything.
Since it's on base, you have to get a one day pass. When approaching the gate there is a brick building on the right side, go there first to get your security clearance. They will ask for your id so make sure to have that ready. It was a quick 10-15 minute process.
Really nice museum! We arrived at 9:00 and left around 12:00. Lots to see. The outside exhibits are covered, which was really nice.
I always pay a visit. One of the best of the Army's branch museums.
One of the best museums for the US Army Transportation Corps! It is located on base,so if you are not a vet or do not have a veteran with you,stop by the visitors center M-F to get a day pass to enter the base.
Very well displayed artifacts from conflicts. Great activity to bring kids along. Lots of walking as this is a very large museum.
Very interesting and excellent displays

Harpoon Larry's Fish House & Oyster Bar is a laid-back spot offering traditional seafood and a well-stocked bar in a charming setting adorned with maritime relics. Despite initial skepticism, many patrons have been pleasantly surprised by the restaurant's delectable crab dishes and inviting ambiance. The establishment caters to families with a kids' menu while adults can savor the popular local favorite, the Rum Runner cocktail.
Busy on an Easter, but very professional staff handling these crowds - NO PROBLEM!
Food is higher levels of tasty. Especially enjoyed a cheesy seafood pizza, shrimp n grits with sausage, crab dip, large portions of fresh grilled seafood. I was sharing, no complaints from anyone!
Larry M — Google review
In town and decided to go out with the family. We started off with calamari. They were large. It looked like the calamari could have been used to stuff something in it. Ive never had calamari this large. It was good. My mom and I split the harpoon meal as the waiter said it was large. You can get the meal either fried or grilled. We got it fried. It came with a huge piece of flounder, huge crab cake, 3 shrimp, 3 scallops and 2 hush puppies. For our side we got the red potatoes boiled with melted butter and salt & pepper. My daughter got the salmon blt sandwich and my sister got the oyster po-boy. We had a nice time and our waiter rashared (sorry if it's spelled wrong) was on point and took great care of us. My mom thought the meals were expensive but I expected to pay this amount.
I was in the area I had a taste for seafood Harpoon Larry’s did not disappoint. The food was fresh and delicious, the presentation of the food was excellent and my waitress was very helpful she did an excellent job serving us, the atmosphere was awesome. They had plenty of choices to choose from and the prices were affordable, they also have plenty of parking space. I don’t come to Newport News often but now I have a reason to.
This was first time to the restaurant with our family. We came from SC to visit. The wait time was about 40 minutes, but we got seated in 25. The waiter was very attentive and help to make the best choice on the menu for our taste requirements. I would highly recommended you visit this restaurant. You won't be disappointed.
Shrimp po boy 7.4/10
Hush puppies 8.3/10
Enjoyed a nice dinner here with a few friends. There was no huge complaints from my group and there was no wait time, which was nice. The scenery is typical of a seafood restaurant and meets the standard. The hush puppies were done really well but just slightly on the dryer side. The shrimp po boy contents were done very well, the coleslaw had green apple pieces that really tied the flavor profile together! My only issue was with the roll, either put more in it or choose a smaller bread so each bite is balanced out. I would definitely come again and try more off this menu.
Good spot and good food. While I can’t vouch for it all what I’ve had is A+. The shrimp and grits, the calamari, the raw oysters and hush puppies are excellent. The fried flounder fish sandwich was average.
Fresh, tasty, and filling! 🦪🐟 The fish was perfectly seasoned, oysters were super fresh, and that creamy dip with pita hit the spot. Definitely a solid seafood stop
Food is great. First visit wife had fried oysters. I had the harpoon with a side of lobster tacos. The harpoon was excellent. If you want to taste
lobster don't get the lobster tacos. They were very good and good amount of lobster but the mild lobster taste was covered up by the hot sauce. Second visit wife made another run at the oysters and I had pan Seafood spaghetti. We will be back.
