The Diamond State. The Riverfront City. No matter what you call it, it’s hard to argue that <\/span>Wilmington, DE<\/span><\/a>, is one of the most vibrant cities in the Mid-Atlantic region. With iconic spots like the Wilmington Riverwalk, Delaware Art Museum, and Brandywine Park, living in Wilmington means an abundance of activities.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Whether you’re settling into a <\/span>downtown Wilmington apartment<\/span><\/a> or a cozy space in <\/span>Trolley Square<\/span><\/a>, navigating the city can be overwhelming. That’s why our Redfin team has asked some locals for unique things to do in Wilmington to help you get to know your city more.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Wilmington,<\/p>\n

1. Visit Old New Castle<\/span><\/h2>\n

If you visit Wilmington, DE, make sure you don\u2019t skip Old New Castle. “My favorite thing to do around Wilmington is to walk around <\/span>Old New Castle<\/span><\/a>,\u201d suggests <\/span>Jenifer Santo Photography<\/span><\/a>, local wedding photographer. \u201cThis little city is a piece of history: I love the cobblestone streets and the feeling you get walking on them, as if you are walking through time. Old New Castle held the first continental congress before they moved to Philadelphia, so there is so much to learn and see in this cute little hidden treasure of a town. There is the <\/span>Markell Trail<\/span> where you can hike, walk, or bike, between the Wilmington Riverfront and New Castle Battery Park. So go and check it out.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

2. See the Nemours Estate<\/span><\/h2>\n

The Nemours Estate is one of the flagship attractions in Wilmington, so the locals suggest that you don\u2019t miss it. \u201cMy favorite way to spend an afternoon in Wilmington is to visit the gorgeous <\/span>Nemours Estate<\/span><\/a>,\u201d recommends Wilmington family photographer, <\/span>Courtney Landrum<\/span><\/a>. \u201cIts sweeping formal gardens and endless rooms to explore make it a great place to feel inspired and learn about the history of the area. No matter the season, you can find something new to admire.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Things to do on Market Street<\/span><\/h2>\n

Locals also love the many memorable things to do on Market Street in Downtown Wilmington. \u201cWilmington has a ton of amazing hidden gems,\u201d says Delaware County Photographer, Aubrey Montgomery, from <\/span>Brey Photo<\/span><\/a>. \u201cYou could explore Wilmington every day for a year and still not discover them all. The <\/span>Delaware Historical Society<\/span><\/a> on Market Street has an incredible museum as well as an amazing library. Across the street from the Museum is the <\/span>Quoin Hotel<\/span><\/a>. Downstairs you’ll find Simmer Down, the most cozy, intimate speakeasy that used to be a bank vault.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

4. See a show<\/span><\/h2>\n

Aubrey recommends, \u201cYou can catch a show at <\/span>The Queen<\/span><\/a>, where you can get right up front and personal with your favorite artists, and hop on over for a drink and a bite to eat. Virtually every corner of Wilmington has some unique, vintage, nostalgic spot that’s loaded with history and heritage from the First State. It’s the perfect blend of hometown and big city vibes and they’ve really done a great job increasing public safety to allow for a more fun, relaxed trip.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

5. Coffee at Brew HaHa<\/span><\/h2>\n

You\u2019ll need to keep up enough energy to tackle all the fun things to do in Wilmington, DE. What better way to recharge than to hit up a local-favorite coffee shop?<\/span><\/p>\n

The <\/span>Brew HaHa<\/span><\/a> in <\/span>Greenville<\/span><\/a> is my favorite local coffee shop,\u201d recommends Ali, Delaware\u2019s family and motherhood photographer at <\/span>Moon Bloom Photo<\/span><\/a>. \u201cI remember the first time I visited, I thought to myself, \u201cthis place has been right up the street, all along?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The atmosphere makes me feel like I am on vacation. On weekends, you can sip your cappuccino while listening to live folk music.\u00a0 Their scratch kitchen serves a variety of gourmet meals as well, and has many options The aesthetics are curated with lots of brass and wood; there is plush green velvet upholstery, and a collaged wall of vintage newspaper clippings and botanical illustrations. This BrewHaHa location even boasts outside seating under a portico. If you are up for a shot of espresso and escapism– this is the coffee shop for you.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

6. Stroll Wilmington\u2019s historic gardens<\/span><\/h2>\n

Ali also recommends, \u201c<\/span>Situated on the grounds of the Greenhill Country Estate, which is now the Wilmington Campus of the University of Delaware, <\/span>Goodstay Gardens<\/span><\/a> holds a rich historical significance for Wilmington, DE. It was the childhood home of esteemed author and illustrator<\/span> Howard Pyle<\/span><\/a>, as well as generations of the DuPont family. Maintained by dedicated volunteers, this garden offers an immersive glimpse into Wilmington’s cultural heritage. Best of all, the gardens are completely free and are open to the public year-round from dawn to dusk.<\/span><\/p>\n

Visiting Goodstay Gardens feels like entering your own secret garden, where the bustle of the surrounding city of Wilmington fades into birdsong. The spring is my favorite time to visit \u2013 the iris and peony gardens are both in bloom and a long row of magnolia trees.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

7. Hike Brandywine Park<\/span><\/h2>\n

Take a moment away from the city sights and get out into nature by visiting Brandywine Park, a pet-friendly favorite for outdoorsy types and casual hikers alike. “My favorite thing to do on an afternoon in the city of Wilmington is hiking the trails in <\/span>Brandywine Park<\/span><\/a>,\u201d recommends Wilmington photographer <\/span>Jeff Batt<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt’s right on the river, there are waterfalls and plenty of old structures and interesting details to look at. It’s also bike and pet-friendly. Brandywine Park is one of the oldest public parks on this side of the country and the cherry trees around the restored Josephine Fountain are stunning in late April. There are endless photo ops there.”<\/span><\/p>\n

8. Go to a museum<\/span><\/h2>\n

In a town known for its rich history, it only makes sense to visit some museums while you\u2019re there. Seems as though the locals we interviewed agree, too.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cMy favorite thing to do in Wilmington is visit the <\/span>Delaware History Museum<\/span><\/a>,\u201d says Justine Hendricks from the <\/span>Digital Collections of the Delaware Historical Society<\/span><\/a>. \u201cI enjoy taking an up-close look at objects and photographs that illuminate the rich history and traditions of Delaware and showcase the state\u2019s history and culture in a new light.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>I love visiting the <\/span>Read House & Gardens<\/span><\/a> outside Wilmington, in New Castle, DE. Strolling through the beautiful, well-kept gardens, admiring the home\u2019s exquisitely preserved interiors, and enjoying the unobstructed views of the Delaware River transports you back in time for an afternoon.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
