Hampton is one of the oldest cities in America, sitting right on the water where the bay meets the sea. It has a rich history and a big connection to space exploration.
You can touch a real moon rock at the Virginia Air and Space Science Center, ride the beautiful old carousel downtown, and explore Fort Monroe, a huge stone fort surrounded by water.
This center is packed with rockets, planes, and a real piece of the moon, showing how astronauts explore space.
This giant historic fort is surrounded by a moat and offers beaches, walking paths, and amazing views of the bay.
