- John PaterakisApril 28, 2018Access to the ship is good on the self-guided tour, and the posted explanations are very helpful. The more expensive guided tour includes some more access, like the flag bridge.
Jim GarrettAugust 5, 2015Great place to get a glimpse of naval history. Be prepared that not all areas in the ship are climate-controlled (just like the heroes that lived and served on the ship experienced)Upvoted Sep 2
Guido GybelsSeptember 2, 2016Visit a real battleship, a castle of steel. The Wisconsin is part of the naval museum in Norfolk and well worth a detour. A really historically relevant ship.
Chad HembreeJuly 14, 2013This is an incredible piece of American history. You can spend half a day wandering around this floating city. If you get the chance to visit don't skip it.- Michelle LAugust 12, 2014So interesting to tour and climb all around while learning history. Great photo opportunities as well.
