Overview
Newport News and Hampton are Virginia Peninsula cities, and both have a lot to offer on land and sea. The Mariners' Museum, one of the world's largest maritime museums, will please even the most dedicated ocean lover. The Air and Space Museum in Hampton is an interactive quest in the other direction and a hands-on source of delight for adults and children. Both areas are chock full of history: Hilton Village in Newport News is a restored community with shops and restaurants and benches for resting. Phoebus, a small community that has been annexed to Hampton is also a walk back in time, boasting the likes of the historic American Theatre, antique shops and restaurants.
