Don’t Go!!!!
The zoo and their staff are terrible and rude. They had our tickets there the whole time and made us travel across town to the welcome center to get our tickets only to find out that they had them the whole time anyway.
Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing your experience. We’re very sorry to hear about the frustration you experienced with your tickets and the inconvenience of being sent across town to retrieve them. We understand how upsetting it must have been to make that trip, only to discover that your tickets were already available at the zoo. This is certainly not the experience we want our guests to have. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention and will share your feedback with the appropriate team so we can better understand what happened and help prevent this type of confusion in the future.

transport
the zoo is not close and you need a car!! did not know this when bought combo tix. The Whisky was great if you enjoy walking on a Navy ship. The Nautilus has some real fun parts but it was very busy with a day camp
Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing your feedback! We’re glad to hear you enjoyed exploring the Battleship Wisconsin and found some fun experiences at Nauticus. We’re sorry there was confusion regarding transportation to the Virginia Zoo. The combination ticket is a self-guided experience, and transportation between the attractions is not included, as noted in the ticket information. Since the Virginia Zoo is located several miles from Nauticus, visitors will need their own vehicle or another form of transportation to travel between the two attractions. We appreciate your comments, as they help us continue to make the experience and information as clear as possible for future visitors. We hope you enjoyed your time exploring Norfolk!

Why this scores 66
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Norfolk's Combo Tickets - Virginia Zoo & Battleship Wisconsin: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Norfolk.
How much does Norfolk's Combo Tickets - Virginia Zoo & Battleship Wisconsin cost?
+
Prices start at $43 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Norfolk usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Norfolk's Combo Tickets - Virginia Zoo & Battleship Wisconsin take?
+
Plan for about 48 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Norfolk is not rushed.
Is Norfolk's Combo Tickets - Virginia Zoo & Battleship Wisconsin worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 66 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.2/5 across 35 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Norfolk, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Norfolk's Combo Tickets - Virginia Zoo & Battleship Wisconsin?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Norfolk's Combo Tickets - Virginia Zoo & Battleship Wisconsin suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 48-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Norfolk's Combo Tickets - Virginia Zoo & Battleship Wisconsin?
+
Around 12 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Norfolk can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Norfolk and add a light layer if any part of the 48-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Norfolk's Combo Tickets - Virginia Zoo & Battleship Wisconsin start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Norfolk within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Norfolk?
+
Norfolk, VA packs its best experiences into walkable neighborhoods, local food, and day trips nearby. Outty ranks every bookable tour and activity in Norfolk by rating quality, review depth, booking demand and value, so you can see the standouts before you book. On Outty we rank every Norfolk experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include A Day Full of Fun at Virginia Living Museum, City Cruises Norfolk: Buffet Dinner Cruise, City Cruises Norfolk: Buffet Brunch Cruise. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Norfolk?
+
Spring and fall bring the best weather and lighter crowds in Norfolk, while summer has the widest choice of tours and evening activities. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Norfolk?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
