Waterside Dr, Downtown (Central Business District)

Waterside is a big street in Norfolk, whether you're a family of four or a young single looking for great nightlife. Waterside boasts shops, a ferry, excellent waterfront activities and fun areas for the whole family to enjoy. When the sun sets, head to one of the bars, like Bar Norfolk for some great times or head to Outback and enjoy a great meal.

Waterside Dr. is a nice walk in Downtown Norfolk. Off this street is access to Norfolk's currently tallest building, the Dominion Tower; it also gives great views of the skyline. Also you can access Town Point Park which is a great place on the Downtown Norfolk's waterfront off the Elizabeth River. Be sure to check out Nauticus too. It's a great place to go with your family and kids--kind of like a museum, but more fun and educational too. It has activities and games that are great for the whole family more geared toward nautical sciences.

This is where you find the Nauticus Tour. It is awesome and one of the highlights of our trip. You can board the USS Wisconsin, the Hampton Roads Naval Museum, a cruise, and a shark petting lagoon. When you are done here (and it could take most of your day), you can stroll along and see the fantastic boats of all kinds that dock here. When you get hungry, three words - Joe's Crab Shack.
