The Riverfront

The Wilmington Riverfront can be likened to the phoenix that rose from its ashes. Buildings that once served as warehouses, mills or factories, fallen into disrepair for decades, and have now been reurrected to house a European-style marketplace, a theatre, an art museum, professional baseball, restaurants, private residences and major corporations such as AAA Mid-Atlantic, Barclays Bank and ING Direct.  Wrap around all this a senic 1.3 mile walking path and you have a budding area ready to bloom.

The Delaware Children's Museum is Delaware's first and only kid-centric museum, teaching math, science and technology through hands-on exhibits. The Museum features 37,000 square feet of interactive fun, with age appropriate experiences for tots to tweens.
