Located at the intersection of the Christina River and the Brandywine River, the city is both beautiful and simple. The population is dwindling, making it a great place for tourists to take advantage of cheap hotel stays as well as quiet walks through downtown, but that doesn’t mean there’s not a lot to see in Wilmington.

 

These days Wilmington is home to lots of beautiful historic sites and natural wonders. From rivers and gardens to a variety of museums and a top-notch zoo, Wilmington is a great place to visit. If you are traveling with your family there are plenty of kid-friendly attractions that will be tons of fun for you and the smallest member of your group.

 

Wondering what to do while you are in town? Don’t worry, there are tons of things to fill your time with. First, the Brandywine Zoo is a great place to see when the weather permits. The zoo features over fifty types of animals and weekly story times on Thursdays and reptile shows on Saturdays and Sundays. Not an animal enthusiast?
