Meeting Venues For truly memorable conventions and events, consider one of Norfolk’s many great and unique venues. Set sail aboard a tall ship schooner or a luxury cruise line. Arrange an event outside in the picturesque Norfolk Botanical Garden or inside the nationally acclaimed Tiffany glass collection at the Chrysler Museum of Art. Enjoy historic theaters, opera houses and live music venues too. Or, take a walk on the wild side with an event at the Virginia Zoo. Norfolk’s heritage and patriotic roots also offer a great setting for any event at historic homes, onboard the largest battleship ever built and even tours of the world’s largest naval base. No matter what kind of setting your group demands, Norfolk is the perfect destination for your next special event.
