Despite the fact that the Battleship Wisconsin is located in Norfolk, die-hard history buffs don't mind the drive at all. This impressive battleship museum is one of the largest and the last ever built by the United States Navy. When you visit, you can take a dramatic walk on its deck on a self-guided tour and see other parts of the ship. A gift shop as well as several excellent photo opportunities are available at this popular historic attraction.
Go on an adventure filled with some of Chesapeake's most stunning natural beauty when you visit the Great Dismal Swamp National Wildlife Refuge. The Great Dismal Swamp is located in southeastern Virginia and northeastern Carolina and has been recognized as a mysterious natural attraction where several people have easily lost their way. Originally established in 1974, this refuge is made up of 112,684 acres of forested wetlands. The 31,000-acre Drummond Lake is found at the center of the swamp.
The art of putting on a great show is something that is always being practiced and improved upon at the New Theatre of Chesapeake. This is an impressive entertainment venue that features the work of the city's premier professional theater organization. While the main focus of this group is musical theater, they also present an interesting variety of other productions throughout the season. You will not be disappointed when you are a part of the many great on-stage moments that these talented local and regional performers consistently deliver.
Going out for the evening is always a great idea. And it's even better when you find a place to hang out that is as comfortable as A.J. Gator's Sports Bar and Grill. This popular nightlife venue is a kind of home away from home for several patrons, as it offers several comfortable amenities like lots of big screen televisions, a comfortable and friendly atmosphere, excellent menu items that range from appetizers to entrees, a fully-stocked bar, and pool tables, darts, and music.
