Travelers to Newport News will soon have the most up-to-date information to explore the city’s attractions and enjoy its events, restaurants and accommodations – thanks to the soon-to-be released 2017 Newport News Visitor Guide.
As always, the guide is packed with information about all there is to see and do in Newport News. It includes three pages of restaurants – listing more than 50 establishments, both nationally known chains and local favorites – and a four-page calendar of events that includes highlights on the city’s most popular events, such as the One City Marathon, World Arts Celebration, Fall Festival of Folklife, Celebration in Lights, and Hollydazzle. There’s also a spotlight on Ella Fitzgerald, who was born in Newport News in April 1917. Check out the special events we have planned throughout the year that tell the story of Ella’s extraordinary life and legacy.
Back again in this year’s guide are two new “first-person” testimonials from residents, who give insider tips on everything from eating out and bargain shopping to nightlife and outdoor fun. Attractions profiled in the guide include
The Mariners’ Museum and Park and the
Virginia Living Museum, plus the City’s four historic homes –
Endview Plantation, the
James A. Fields House,
Lee Hall Mansion and
The Newsome House Museum & Cultural Center. Additional points of interest include the
Peninsula Fine Arts Center, the
U.S. Army Transportation Museum and the
Virginia War Museum. Each listing includes current admission prices and operating hours.
The guide’s clip-able coupons provide discounted admission to Endview Plantation, Lee Hall Mansion, The Mariners’ Museum and Park, Peninsula Fine Arts Center, Peninsula SPCA & Petting Zoo, Virginia Living Museum, and the Virginia War Museum. There’s also a coupon for 25% off any purchase over $20 at the Newport News Visitor Center gift shop.
