Waited in a Hot parking garage on the way and in the sun on the way back. I would pay the extra $20-$30 for week long parking closer to the ship then wait in long lines again. The parking facility is also a 20 minute shuttle ride each way. Never again will I start and end my cruise in long lines.

It is almost always full but parking can often be found on the upper floors. There are stairs and elevators at the front of the garage and I believe only stairs at the back of the garage.

I had to call an attendant but the matter was quickly resolved and I was out in no time.

For as long as I can remember, the city of Portsmouth (Old Towne area) hosts 'Sunset Thursdays' starting in June or July. Every Thursday a different band, usually local is featured and starts entertaining the crowd at 6pm. It is free to sit and listen. But bring some cash, vendors are on site. And if none of the vendors interest you, the site this year is walking distance to downtown, the High Street area. This street offers plenty to eat - sit down and take out options. Or if you are feeling the need, pack a bag and bring your own food and drink. I have been out on Thursdays to several events and each time is a treat! Bands of all genres are featured. See the list for this year - https://portsvaevents.com/event/sunset-thursdays-2022/2022-07-07/ In case link does not work - this is line up for 2022: June 16th RaJazz (R&B, Jazz) June 23rd Island Boy (Hard Rock, Country, Funk) June 30th Slapnation (Rock, Jazz, Reggae) July 7th The Original Rhondels (Beach, 70's, 80's) July 14th Michael Clark Band (Rock, R&B, Disco) July 21st BrassWind (Beach, Pop, Motown, R&B, Rock, Funk, Soul) July 28th TFC Band (Motown, Soul, R&B, Funk, Oldies, Beach) August 4th Soul Intent (Beach, 70s, 80s & Rock) August 11th Better By Tuesday (R&B, Jazz, Funk) August 18th 2nd Wynd (R&B, Reggae, Jazz, Rock) August 25th J & The Band (Top 40, Classic Rock, Beach, Funk, Oldies) September 1st Revelation (R&B, Rock, Funk, Reggae) September 8th Hot Cakes (Country, Rock, 70's, 80's, 90's) If you love live music, you should definitely come out and enjoy.

I came here after going to a sports card show in Norfolk. It wasn't a planned visit but I was just…read morelooking for something interesting to look at since I had a lot of free time and the weather was nice on Saturday. I thought it would be a lot larger but the spot is quite small but it is very nice to walk around. There are also lots of nice areas adjacent to the garden and terrace as well. I parked in front of the garden went around it and then found the USS Wisconsin and the Naval museum just past the garden. I went around and finished checking out the other side of the garden after. The parking was free for 2 hrs in front of the garden and it seemed like parking in general was plentiful and open this weekend. It looked like college dormitories around the garden and some other residential areas around the middle of downtown Norfolk. There were many nice plants in the garden, the terrace was nice but not open as far as I could tell, and the koi pond was nice if someone would clean out the pond scum from the fish pond. There were small bridges over the water and multiple water fountains in the koi pond. There were a few benches to sit on if you wanted to just relax or meditate in the garden. Overall, it was a nice garden but it is not something to go downtown to see, but it is a nice additional thing to see if you are going to the USS Wisconsin and the Naval museum or if you staying in downtown area. Lots of people were exercising (walking and jogging) so it is a nice scene to pass by if you are doing that.

Great spot to walk around. There's ice cream inside too! Very yummy. Beautiful day to explore.read more

Train ride to DC was wonderful and so much better than driving…read more The Norfolk Amtrak station - not so good. We used the second train of the day to DC which departed at 8:59am. Nothing was open so, no way to get snacks beforehand and very little seating inside. It was my first time and I was shocked by the lack of parking, the gravel roads, no sidewalks or organized crosswalks, lack of parking and pull-off for cars doing drop-off and construction. The extremely small building and waiting area for the "station" was also a surprise. There is some serious work that needs to happen here... the station feels like an afterthought, with the smallest building and arrival/departure area I've ever seen at a station in a larger city like Norfolk. There is clearly some sidewalk work being done - but, having to drag your rolling bag through gravel and broken up streets past cars everywhere and people parked on the single sidewalk was not the best with a baby in a stroller and multiple rolling bags. Boarding was also a pain as they only opened two boarding doors for the entire train so hundreds of people and their bags and babies being loaded on was a huge traffic jam. I'm not sure why they do this... it made getting into the train a huge pain and long, long line. Not impressed with Norfolk Amtrak station area at all. Train was great. Station needs some work and infrastructure.

Very easy. Better than the bus. Also to fly from DC to Norfolk osnt worth it. Make more city spotsread more
