    Went on a raining day but that didn't stop the tour guides from giving us a great experience. All guides were knowledgeable and interested in our curiosity and engaged us in the house, family and grounds.

    Worth the trip.

    What a beautiful museum nestled in a residential area; I came for their substantial Pre-Raphaelite art, having become a fan when I lived in England. I also found various other art, previously unknown to me, that I thought was great.

    The 1938 building has since blended with modern additions in an excellent way.
    The café was a surprise with a great menu that tasted as good as it looked. The sculpture garden made for a pleasant walk after touring the museum. The museum staff were friendly and helpful.

    Delaware's largest city feels more like a sleepy town. This impressive building comes as Wilmington's most remarkable structure. More interested visitors may consider enjoying one of their shows.

    We went whne there was an event, it was crowded and the kids had fun. I guess(based on the experie ce of my 2yo at the time) that it is a good place for kids 3 and over. Lots of different activities.

    I did a self guided tour of the mansion during the holiday season. The mansion itself is beautiful and the holiday decorations only made it better. Well worth your time.

    I discovered recently that I had family ancestors that were married at this church. I reached out online and received documentation confirming the genealogy. This is a beautiful and wonderfully preserved historic site and we were so grateful to have spent time here. Seven Tucker was an outstanding tour guide, extremely knowledgeable and helpful and friendly… Kudos to old Swedes church!

    Enjoy baseball and fans in a beautiful park with excellent seating. The Blue Rocks staff keeps you entertained even if the action on the field slows down. Watch for Mr Celery! Lots of food & beverage choices, at lower prices than many ball parks. Reasonable tickets and FREE parking. Try finding that at the big city majors.

    Lots of choices for walking paths. Great for kids and adults. Plenty of playground activities. Dogs allowed while on a leash and free bags for feces disposal.
    Water available in some areas for dogs as well.

    Our first trip to Delaware Theater Company and it could not have been better! Right off I-95, plenty of FREE parking, and wonderful volunteer staff. We saw a delightful one man show and already bought tickets to a few future productions. How did we ever miss this hidden gem?!!!

    I visited because there are parts of this area that have recently become part of the NPS's First State NHP. The visitor center houses the Passport Stamp. The staff at the visitor center was helpful and the area was beautiful.
