You'll definitely come away with something you didn't know. ( I had no idea about the asteroid.) There's also some old train cars outside an old station and info about all that as well. Oh, there's a brewery right down the street. Good selection of brews. Foods not to bad either. Enjoy....B.

Who likes museums on vacation?…read more We sure did! Extremely knowledgeable staff. Be sure to request they turn on the Diesel engine. It sure will get your heart going! I've been coming to the shore for 25 years and learned a lot of new stuff (ie bay bridge construction and the crater impact zone). This is a must stop for all vacationers!

I recently visited the Virginia Air & Space Science Center in Hampton for the first time. Since I…read morearrived with a group on a field trip, we were permitted to park our vans alongside the building, though the parking locations were not really clear. The museum was clean and well-maintained. The gift shop is conveniently located at the entrance, and the cafe near the IMAX theater offered a good selection of snacks and drinks. The interactive games and exhibits are excellent for young children, and I particularly enjoyed riding the carousel across the lot afterwards. While I found the experience enjoyable, I believe the museum is best suited for families with children rather than adult visitors alone. Overall, I highly recommend the museum for an educational family outing.

There's an observation deck on the third floor that has half-century-old binoculars that require quarters to look through. Quarters! 1) Who the heck carries quarters anymore? 2) I PAID $67 TO GET IN HERE AND HALF YOUR STUFF DOESN'T WORK! Save up a little more of your money, friends, and make the trip to D.C. for the air and space museum there. This place in Hampton is absurd. I will never come back here.

Came to see Deltaville with the family one summer day and this was the primary stopping point. We…read morecame to the museum and wish we were able to spend much more time at the spot. It really has the potential to fill a few days and we need to come back for one of their events. Once you find which building is the main entry (it's well marked) the docents take exceptional care of you. The visitors set up the video for us and some other visitors and I highly recommend taking the time to watch it to understand the menhaden industry and why the museum is here. Then we spent a LOT of time looking at the exhibits in the main building. Everything you could want to know about the local area and its fishing & maritime history. Lots of artifacts, models, dioramas, visual aides, etc. Afterwards we went outside and visited the ships that they have for their hands on education. I really want to come back and sail on the skipjack. Finally we ended at the train museum. That thing is spectacularly impressive. No idea why it is related to the mission of the museum but it definitely fills the "unique & interesting" bucket. Sadly it is only running when the right volunteers are around so hopefully it matches your exhibit. Someone(s) have spent a LOT of time & money on that & it is novel to take in.

Sophia and I have lived in the Peninsula since 2011, but rarely took trips to Fort Monroe to…read moreexplore its history. Shame on us since we've been to many museums for years. But, it's better late than never. And believe me, it's one you definitely want to check out. For admission, it's free. How it works is we're given a 15 min window for entering and plus, it gives you a chance to look around in the visitor center where the galley takes you to the history of Fort Monroe and how the Civil War changed everything. If you've been to museums in Virginia, just about everything is covered regarding the slave trade and wars between the North and South and against other countries. A lot to take in, but beneficial. After we were done scoping the visitor center, we entered the museum itself. A treasure trove of information to soak in regarding Fort Monroe itself. I just turned 45 years old and I can tell you I learned a ton from this visit alone. And there still is more to gain. It's wonderful to see that the staff put their heart and soul into keeping everything in place. You can do a self guided tour like we did or you can do a group tour. Also, the museum shops have goodies for you to buy. Believe me, you should not leave empty handed when you have the chance. A wonderful visit to a place where you'll leave with knowledge. And there's more on site at Fort Monroe. We''ll be back for some more tours when time persists :)

They also offer guided walking tours throughout the day, though times vary. The fort itself is awe-inspiring- the largest bastion fort by area in the U.S., completed in 1834- and it's incredible to think it stood as a Union stronghold, designated "Freedom's Fortress," where escaping enslaved people found sanctuary during the Civil War. The massive interior arches are a testament to enduring design, and walking atop the fort offers an unforgettable connection to history.
