The decks of the Battleship Wisconsin at Nauticus become a themed holiday walk-through each winter. A companion 'Winterfest Riverwalk' extends the lights along the waterfront through Town Point Park.
Best time to arrive. Sunset in Norfolk is around 4:50 PM in mid-December, fully dark by about 5:19 PM. A typical December night here bottoms out near 36°F, so dress for standing around outside.
