Learn about three centuries of Norfolk's colorful history on a panoramic drive through its lovely historic district and restored areas. Watch for the elegant mermaid who symbolizes Norfolk's maritime and naval roots.
You'll have a comfortable view of the city's attractions, including Nauticus, the Hampton Roads Naval Museum, and the Battleship Wisconsin. View the stately homes along the Hague, old St Paul's Church, the Moses Myers House, the Chrysler Museum of Art, the MacArthur Memorial, the historic Freemason District, downtown and the restored waterfront area.
Pause at the Norfolk Botanical Garden, whose 60 themed gardens across 175 acres feature a wide variety of plants from around the world. Take a tram ride through the garden and savor some time to explore at your leisure. Idyllic spots include the Bristow Butterfly Garden, home to more than 50 beautiful native species of butterfly, or the tranquil Japanese Garden.
Don't miss a stop at Doumar's — an iconic local drive-in that is home to the world's first ice cream cone machine, still in use today. Order a waffle cone with your choice of ice cream flavor.
Notes:
Wear comfortable walking shoes. Shade is limited; to avoid sunburn, wear light, long clothing suitable for use as a cover-up. Bring a hat and sunglasses; wear biodegradable/reef-safe sunscreen. Bring bottled water.
