Is the Battleship Haunted?

Since the ship's arrival in 2000, Nauticus staff has sometimes wondered about the nature of certain mysterious sounds and happenings aboard the Wisconsin. This Halloween season, help us discover if BB-64 might be haunted with an afterhours ghost hunt below decks. You'll explore dark, creepy spaces that have never been open to the public - if you dare! The hunt requires a physical ability to climb steep ladder steps and navigate tight sub-deck spaces. This experience is not suitable for children under 12, the claustrophobic or the faint of heart. Doors open at 6 p.m, and tours begin at 6:30. Tickets are limited and cost $15 ($10 for Nauticus members). There are no advance sales, so be sure to get there before they run out! Tours will run Thursday October 20, & 27th 6:30-10 pm. Friday, October 21 & 28th 6:30-11 pm.  Saturday, October 22 & 29th
6:30-11 pm. Sunday, October 30th 6:30-11pm.

Ghost hunts last 30 minutes and are given every 15 minutes.
Call (757) 664-1000 for more information.
