    101 year old carousel in Hampton located across the street from Virginia Air and space science center. It is in a building that is air conditioned and the ride is 1 dollar per person. Has a description outside of where it was made, stood and where it is now. Cool little history. Was just being a tourist in the area due to family visiting. Even as big as we are we were allowed to ride no problem. The carousel plays music and it was a fun experience. Highly recommend of you have kids. Still was fun even as adults that are into history. The staff was kind and friendly.

    Today was my first time at the Hampton Carousel. It's absolutely beautiful, the painted horses were exquisite. Everything was polished and shiny. The attendants were super nice. The air conditioning was a bonus. It was only $1 per ride. Why haven't I done this before today??? I'll definitely be back. I love the carousel

    Love this. My sister came from Florida to go here. The family had a great time and that day we went it was free.

    Was a quiet and relaxing ride for $1.00 you can't beat that. We where the only ones there that day but I am sure they are very busy.

    It is decorated in a Christmas theme. Very cute and my daughter loved it. Adults can ride on their own horse :)

    It's a bridge and a tunnel!! what's not to like? approximately twice the fun for the same drive and…read morestill no tolls!! the MMMBT is basically two straight parts joined by a curved part so navigating this roadway shouldn't tax anybody's senses or abilities. the sloping approaches and the actual tunnel bit are controlled by gravity which exerts a nearly uniform 1-g of downforce so the driver doesn't have to "steer down" or "steer up" all that is necessary is to drive straight until the curvey part, follow the road through the bend, and then straight again until exiting the structure. ta da!! the tunnely part consists of more than a dozen prefabbed 300 foot long sections that were sunk into a trench and buried; FYI: the best guess on a "use by" date is somewhere past 2052. the traffic lanes are thirteen feet wide with fourteen-and-a-half feet of usable vertical clearance plus two 30-inch wide ledges on the side of the roadways just in case you have to walk out. please note that the deepest part of the tunnel is some 45 feet below the average low-tide mark so good luck with the emergency exit ;-) don't trust the science? I don't really blame you (especially since the great plannedemic) but this is civil engineering - real life application of the hard sciences - not the soft goo pedaled by the TV taking heads so carry on.

    This was the last thing I saw in the metro area before heading back to where I was staying. This…read moretunnel/bridge was a bit more messed up than the others in the area. Traffic was smooth for the most part here, with minor hold ups while approaching the tunnel portion. What I remember most about this is that there was a lot of major construction happening. I'm not sure what they are doing as I don't live here, but I can only hope that it is to improve traffic flow. Two lanes in each direction would probably benefit with an increase in lanes. But that is just my thought on it. It is scenic to drive, but you really do need to pay attention to the road and traffic. Almost like a mini Chesapeake Bay Bridge/Tunnel.

    Super scared... I think in my lifetime I have driven across this bridge at some point in my 20s,…read morebut it was so during the daylight. Well a few weeks ago, I drove across this bridge and clearly remembered why I do my best to avoid this route at all accounts. From a decade ago, I could only recall: this bridge is super long, super scary... I was routed to this bridge due to a severe accident at the Monitor Merrimac Tunnel (my preferred route to Hampton/Newport News). After sitting in traffic for 90 minutes, daylight quickly turned into nightfall. During my travel on this Friday night, I was only able to snap one picture as my passenger was asleep. And this snap wasn't until I reached the end of the (at least) four mile stretch. But please do not try to snap your own pictures while driving. There is no shoulder lane at all. This four lane bridge features two lanes of travel for each direction. I traveled from Suffolk, Virginia and drove through at least two other cities including Isle of Wight. On the route (route 17) prior to the reaching the bridge, there are a few gas stations and several shopping stores. Please make sure you have enough gas before approaching the bridge. The bridge was built in the 1920s (I believe) and it is still standing and traffic flows heavily. Just be safe and have a passenger (awake) to take your pictures. Have fun and enjoy life :)

    I love a bridges & this one has special place in my heart as it connects me to my GRANNY!!!!!…read more I don't care for the 12 hr drive from the NOLA; but once I dawn this bridge I know I'm closer to my dear heart. The 4.5 mile long bridge crosses the James River, duh, hence the name right??? And there couldn't be a lover sight. Quite scenic; once at the very top, one can see the expanse of the coast & most of the approaching city. 4 lanes coming & going, the dawn & dusk drives are equally breathtaking. Often times, I'd like to stop & take pictures, but in that this is a bridge & cars are always abounding, I refrain.
