Reviews of Atlantic Wildfowl Heritage Museum (Tourist Attraction)

Lisa Renee Jennings

So great to see the historical reference of a family cottage in Virginia Beach. Also a great wedding spot. A bride's room has recently been added!

Michael Champagne

Amazing little Museum on the history of Virginia Beach and early days of hunting in the area, with a most excellent Tour by the on-site carver.

Wendell Nealon

Excellent find in the middle of resort hotels. History of Virginia Beach was well worth the time spent in this wonderful little gem.

Wonderful gem to find on boardwalk. Very interesting. Beautiful carvings, pictures, ships in bottles and an absolutely amazing carved doll house.

DeWitt Cottage is the oldest house...built in 1895...along the oceanfront. Amazing place with lots of historical information about the area plus hand carved decoys...definitely worth visiting to see what is was like back in the day.

Nice place to visit. Friendly staff

Our first visit to the museum. We love ducks and wildlife living on a lake in SW VA. A craftsman was working while we visited which made the trip even more fabulous. A large number of decoys are exhibited throughout the museum. No admission charge, but donations are encouraged. A must visit if you are at the beach.

Was there 12/21 at 4:30p. As I walked up the stairs to enter the women inside turned to sign over to closed never uttering a word and walked away. The sign said they closed at 5p. I thought it rude of her to say nothing as I was in front of the door in plain sight. Won't return.

Bob Matson

Nice but not enough of the wildfowl or migratory bird information.

Jon Weber

Expected something different. All they had were wooden decoys and a few paintings.

Jitka Kacerova

There's some cool stuff showing local history of beach life, also lots of beautiful carved birds. The wood-carver Pietro told and showed us the techniques he uses and was very kind, but he could talk about other things as well for hours so we had to step out after some time :-) Nice things in gift shop!

Museum was closed for the holiday when we got there. Bummer, boyfriend and I were really looking forward to it! Must see next time we’re in Virginia Beach!

A nice place to visit, my kids enjoy it very much. For some reason instead of running around like crazy kids,they're actually interested in the museum. The crew there must be doing something right, cause at home the kids go nuts again...

It was nice to learn an interesting part of Viginia Beaches history.

Matthew Lewis

Lots of history there. A place i stop at every year. Great when you can catch a carver or gunner to talk with.

Susan Moore

This museum is in the Dewit Cottage right on the boardwalk at the oceanfront. It's collection includes hand carved wood decoys and other birds and animals. I talked at length to a wood Carver named Hank who was carving a small shore bird from bass wood. He was very friendly and informative. Upstairs is a collection of old photos and memorabilia about the good old days in Virginia Beach. Small quaint place but lots of neat stuff.

Benjamin Schrank

This place is pretty cool, a lot of museums are closed for the month of January but this place was open so I decided to give it a look. There's a lot of cool stuff to look at and the people there are awesome. They have volunteers a few times a week carving ducks and they have some pretty awesome stories and history to tell about the place, which really made the experience visiting this museum memorable. Highly recommend giving this place some time.

Stella Jones

Very beautiful place and interesting facts

Chelle Belle

Learned quite a bit here. Very nice museum to see the past of the beach and learn about ducks and birds on your beach vacation.

Andy Sutter

If you're visiting from out of state you have to check this place out. The history of Virginia Beach starts right here. There is a lot to learn from the very first mayor of Virginia Beach and why Virginia Beach came into existence. A great place to bring your family while on vacation.

William Walsh

WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE FOR ALL AGES WAS THE OBVIOUS ATTEMPT THIS MUSEUM PLANNED - IT WORKED!

Bryan Udell

This place is worth the visit. Just don't plan on leaving quickly and let the people there Enlighten you to all the things that you don't know

Nancy Basham

Took my 8 year old granddaughter with me and she enjoyed it more than me. The decoy carvers was especially informative and very interesting. Really surprised that it's on a well populated beach and some developer hasn't replaced it with a 5 star hotel. The grounds were beautiful and the history of the house was very interesting. Will go back. after the summer season is over. Was really sorry that more visitors weren't there. A couple from Wisconsin was there. Enjoyed talking to them. Thanks for being there.

mark blaauw

Nice bit of history in the midst of a commercial Babylon.

Informative and quaint. Speaking with their resident decoy carver was fascinating.

Seth Johnson
