Grinch Night at Winterfest on the Wisconsin

5PM-10PM
Nauticus 1 Waterside Drive, Norfolk, VA 23510 winterfest@nauticus.org

Friday, December 5 · 5–10PM
🎄 A mischievously merry night for all ages!

He’s green. He’s grumpy. And he’s taking over Winterfest! Bring the whole family for a special visit from the Grinch as he sneaks, scowls, and somehow spreads his own brand of holiday cheer across the Battleship Wisconsin.

Enjoy all your favorite Winterfest experiences — more than two million dazzling lights, the magical Kingdom of the Snow Queen indoor adventure, holiday treats, photos with Santa, and festive photo ops — with one wonderfully wicked twist.

✨ Special Grinch Highlights:
• Surprise pop-up appearances from the Grinch throughout the ship
• Silly, sneaky photo moments

It’s the jolliest night to get your holiday heart growing three sizes bigger. Just don’t leave your Christmas lights unattended…

🟢 Included with general Winterfest admission.
🎁 Reserve your tickets early — this night will be a steal!
