Top-rated places to visit in Delaware, United States

4.5 Rehoboth Beach Boardwalk (1.990 reviews)
- So much to do!
Friday: 12:00 AM - 11:59 PM Piers & Boardwalks

What a beautiful boardwalk! Our hotel was on the boardwalk so we literally stepped of the hotel and right on to it. There are SO many things to do on the boardwalk-you would need a day just to enjoy it! Masks are mandatory on the boardwalk at all times. You can ride bikes on it only during certain hours (I believe it was 6-10am). Every restaurant and shop was open so you were able to really enjoy the experience. If you have small children or do not like crowds, I would encourage you to go in the morning or late evenings. If you love to workout out-it is the perfect place to run! Perfect place for couples of all ages and for families to enjoy. I have been to many boardwalks but this one is a new favorite. See more..

4.5 Bethany Beach (657 reviews)
- Nice clean beach town
Beaches

Very nice clean, dog and family friendly but small. Parking was meters or kiosk from 10 am to 11 pm every day. Best bet was to go to the state park beaches with fixed 10.00/ car per day. We went to several. Also not enough restaurants in the area. They were overwhelmed and were not even able to offer take out. See more..

4.5 Dewey Beach (551 reviews)
- Really Empty
Beaches

Sandwiched between the Atlantic Ocean and Rehoboth Bay, this quaint town is popular with the younger crowd and home to numerous excellent bars and brewpubs with live music and great food. In summer, look forward to activities like outdoor movie screenings and community bonfires in addition to jetski rentals and guided kayak excursions. The surf tends to be rough, but the beach is dog-friendly, and the small-town charm and relaxed vibe on offer during the quieter seasons draws couples and families from wide and far. The busier Rehoboth Beach is only a stone’s throw away. – Tripadvisor See more..
4.5 Lewes Beach (537 reviews)
- Nice beach for families
Beaches

Stopped by the beach the other day for our first trip of the 2021 season since it was a warm early May day. Metered parking started May 1st, so we had to pay the centralized parking meter at a rate of $2 per hour. You can access parking via the Park Mobile app. The beach and parking lot were nearly empty, so we were able to easily secure parking and a beach blanket spot near the water. On this day we enjoyed building sand castles, digging in the sand, searching for sea shells, watching the seagulls and watching the ferry go in & out of port. We didn't see much live wildlife this visit other than the seagulls. We found lots of dead calico crabs, some dead horseshoe crabs and even a dead fish. Not sure what that was all about because we usually don't see a bunch of dead sea life. We did not actually swim in the water on this day though. It was a little early in the season to actually get into the water although we did dip out toes in the water and it was chilly. Lifeguards were not on duty yet since they don't start until around Memorial Day weekend. However, the beach restrooms were already open and the outdoor sprinkler poles were on for rinsing off your feet/body. Overall, we enjoyed our first trip to Lewes Beach for the season. This is a great beach for families with small kids. The sand is generally soft although you can still get lucky and find little gems like beach pebbles and seashells. There are little to no waves, so great for young kids that are afraid of big waves and getting knocked down. We enjoy this beach. There are 2 separate parking lots and 2 separate bath/restrooms. One of the parking lots has a snack shack and is adjacent to a DQ should you find yourself hungry while on the beach! See more..
4.5 Bethany Beach Boardwalk (481 reviews)
- Don't expect Ocean City's Boardwalk. It's a wholly different vibe
Friday: 10:00 AM - 5:00 PM Hiking Trails

The free weekend concerts charge the area with excitement and sound against a sunset backdrop. They pack people in with great bands who listen to great free music while eating ice cream cones at sunset. Believe me, it's as terrible as it sounds... I fish right off the boardwalk in the mornings and watch the pelicans fly in formation as dolphins cruise the shoreline. Once I've assured myself that there are no fish in the ocean, I pack up, stopping at the donut shop right there for fresh, made to order AMAZING donuts, then head back to the rental and tell lies about all the fish I caught. It really is the hub of our vactions down here...small, but packed with hidden gems. It isn't Ocean City, and thankfully, at least to me, doesn't want to be either See more..

- Good experience with a delivered kayak
Friday: 8:30 AM - 8:00 PM Surfing & Windsurfing • Gear Rentals • Stand Up Paddleboarding • Kayaking & Canoeing

Janis was very helpful answering our questions before booking a kayak for rental and delivery for the first time. Delivery was on time and appreciated the inclusion of well-fitting life jackets. Now that we have done this for the first time will now know for next time to request securing ropes and locks in the notes section. Would rent from them again. See more..

4.5 Gordons Pond (358 reviews)
- Great biking, lovely views!
Bodies of Water

Just a short bike ride from the end of the Rehoboth boardwalk, this is a really nice trail that totals about 10 miles round trip from Rehoboth Beach center of town, where we rented our bikes. We rode in the end of September when the weather was comfortable. It would be quite hot in the summer, as there are long stretches with very little shade. We loved it. The riding is easy on mostly fine gravel trails, with a nice long section of "boardwalk," a metal bridge-type structure that's fun to ride on. You can stop at a WWII observation tower and visit Fort Miles, an old Army fort with a small museum (we didn't go in) and some pretty impressive artillery guns to check out outside. There are benches here and there and at least one water fountain along the way. This ride was one of the highlights of our visit. See more..
5.0 Coastal Kayak (346 reviews)
- Great morning workout on Little Assawoman Back Bay
Friday: 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM Gear Rentals • Stand Up Paddleboarding • Kayaking & Canoeing

This is a great trip. My wife, son in law and myself went on the Little Assawoman Back Bay tour and everyone enjoyed themselves. My wife had never kayaked before and our guide Justin was very reassuring. My wife and I chose a tandem and I sat in the back because I was experienced. The tour lasted 1 1/2 hours which was just long enough. We kept a good pace, no one was left behind, and we saw quite a bit of wildlife. I had used Coastal Kayak on an Outer Banks vacation and when I saw they were near Ocean City, MD, I booked immediately. This is a very well run outfit with quality name kayaks and gear and their rental fees are very reasonable. I have kayaked myself for over 25 years and own two kayaks. I would not book with any other outfitter See more..
4.5 Hopkins Farm Creamery (310 reviews)
- Great ice cream!
Friday: 11:00 AM - 9:00 PM Farms

I read about Hopkins on Trip Advisor so thought we’d check it out. They had a very efficient drive thru process and there was a steady stream of cars going in. I got cappuccino delight and my husband got salted caramel crunch; both delicious! The cows were just coming in when we got there so we saw a lot of movement at the barn. Definitely worth going out of your way for it but super easy to get to. See more..
4.0 Harrington Raceway & Casino (295 reviews)
- Another satisfied player
Friday: 12:00 AM - 11:59 PM Casinos

Despite any complaints you have heard or can make, Harrington gives good value for your gaming dollar. Unlike other tristate venues, it does not have a "corporate feel" that can ruin the gaming experience. Playing comps are ok, most table games get full fast. Decent parking and free Pepsi machines (Pepsi seems to be a Delaware casino thing). Spanish 21 is offered but not always open. For safety reasons post-COVID the wonderful buffet is gone. Live entertainment and a friendly vibe set it apart from other venues. See more..
3.5 Delaware Park (293 reviews)
- Very nice visit
Spent 2-3 hours Casinos • Horse Tracks

Well I was really surprised at how well they did with the temperature scanning which flowed so well. The place had alot of hand sanitizer. and staff always kept the atm's, ticket redemption machines and machine cleaned. Was very comfortable in there especially , this being the first place to be in outside of a grocery stire since covid-19 I commend them on the way they really has handled everything with cleanliness and sanitation. My favorite restaurant " On a roll" had a limited menu but did have my favorites. Very different look with only a third of the slot machines on but still was nice. Also the area to play the horses was great proper distancing and the tellers kept line flowing well. Look forward to my next visit there. See more..
5.0 Go Ape Zipline & Adventure Park (270 reviews)
- This is a "must do" - family, friends, couples, anyone!
Friday: 10:00 AM - 2:00 PM Zipline & Aerial Adventure Parks

We love Go Ape adventures and this one truly lived up to our expectations. The cable and trolley system was SO quick and efficient and easy to use compared to prior Go Ape adventures where the trolley didn't stay attached. This made us feel safe the entire time because it was impossible to not "always be attached". The obstacles were fun and the zip lines were awesome. I loved flying across Lums Pond so many times. The entire staff was really great too. My husband and I were the first group to go through it and we FLEW through the course. We were done in under 2 hours, which included the prep and instructions as the beginning. But when we went last summer with our kids and we weren't the first group, it took us over 3 hours. Time definitely varies. See more..
4.5 Glasgow Park (260 reviews)
- The Mountain at Glasgow
Parks

Glasgow Park is a family park where the entire family can have fun. I especially enjoy the large Hill which I have named "the Mountain at Glasgow" when walking or running this hill I have the most invigorating feeling when I reach the top. Not to mention the trail is definitely a peaceful time for me to walk and be one with nature. See more..
4.0 Jungle Jim's (251 reviews)
- Great weekday activity for the family!
Friday: 10:00 AM - 6:00 PM Spent 2-3 hours Amusement & Theme Parks

We brought our two boys here (ages 5 and 6) on a cloudy weekday. It was a wonderful time, despite the fact that the park had to temporarily close a few times due to thunder and lightning (we just used this as an opportunity to take a break and check out the nearby outlets until they re-opened). The park was well-staffed and clean and the lines for the most popular waterslides were short and fast-moving. There were lots of waterslides to chose from and plenty of tubes for the lazy river. The lockers were reasonable priced and the snack bar food was decent. We will definitely return to this park. See more..
4.5 Grand Opera House (232 reviews)
- A Great Asset to Wilmington
Friday: 10:00 AM - 5:00 PM Operas • Architectural Buildings • Theaters

We come to the Grand often for shows and in pre-Covid times we were subscribers. We e seen traveling music acts, comedy shows, Delaware Orchestra, Wilmington Ballet, and Opera Delaware. The space is beautiful and historic. There is parking only a block away and the theater and restrooms are always clean. We love the variety and quality of different shows that come to our little city. See more..

4.5 Junction and Breakwater Trail (226 reviews)
- Adventure is right here
Biking Trails

As an avid trail rider, this was just the thing I needed to get off the beaten path at the beach and I managed to do 18 miles thanks to another reviewer’s expert advice. Do yourself a favor and check it out. It was so easy to follow signage from Lewes public libretto to downtown Rehoboth and then back up through Henlopen acres through Gordon’s Pond and up Rt. 9 to Lewes again. Flat terrain, some shade and incredible views. Make sure you leave time for a stop at Whiskey Beach. It’s gorgeous! See more..
4.0 Lums Pond State Park (203 reviews)
- Very nice park
State Parks

This park is a great place for a quick pit stop or a full day of activities. The pond is scenic and peaceful, never crowded, but never empty either. You can’t swim in the pond, but boating and fishing is allowed. You can also rent kayaks or paddle boats. Outside the pond, there are hiking trails, camping and picnic areas, playgrounds for kids, fields for various sports, and even a disc golf course. Perhaps best of all, there’s even an adventure park! It does cost extra to get into, but it’s awesome, so worth it if you have the time/budget to spare. It has zip lines, a sort of modified bungee jump, tree top obstacle courses... It’s just a ton of fun. See more..
4.5 Battery Park (196 reviews)
- Peaceful walk by the salty sea
Parks

This is a beautiful walk close to New Castle's historic district. Stopped in New Castle for a leg rest mid-way through a drive not knowing quite what I'd find besides the history of the first state. This is a perfect walk, nicely paved and maintained, just on the water. You can smell the salty air or walk a little further and find shade tree-lined clearings. Even though it is fairly busy, there are moments where you can be all to yourself and it is simply peaceful. Walked for about an hour, then headed to see the rest of the town. See more..
4.5 Fenwick Island State Park (194 reviews)
- love the place, can't see going anywhere else.

best beach, they have a sand net that lets older folks get to the water. people are great, they have beaches were you can bring your dogs, and the dogs are very nice. I should not recommend Fenwick, it is to cool, would hate too see it become over priced, with to many people. See more..

On the east side of the bridge you can go on the beach and hang out. There is a sidewalk that goes from the east side of the bridge and extends all the way down quite a distance to the west and a great place to go fishing.

- Popular hiking and nature-lovers' destination.
Friday: 8:00 AM - 7:00 PM State Parks

We come here most often approaching from the Delaware side but we also use Pennsylvania as our base. Some trails here span more than one state. Each time we choose a different route and it is always interesting hike. The park is quite extensive and the nature here is lush and beautiful.This time we enjoyed again the Tri-State Trail and Mason Dixon Trails. Tri-state monument is a popular landmark. In Delaware there is a park fee one needs to pay. Out of state it is $8. See more..
4.5 DiscoverSea Shipwreck Museum (161 reviews)
- Do not miss this
Speciality Museums

This is one of the best museums I have ever been to and I have travelled to some of the best museums around the world. It is small but mighty, particularly if you live within a few states of Delaware as it will speak to you on a personal level. One factor that made our visit so exceptional was that the owner was on site. The diverse and exquisite exhibits held their own, but with the owner on site to point out special items and provide background stories added priceless dimension to items that might have otherwise been passed with glancing interest. Do not miss this museum. It is a true gem. See more..

5.0 Sand Dollar Cruises (145 reviews)
- Sunset Cruise
Boat Tours

The sunset cruise with The Sand Dollar crew was a real treat! Booking online was easy, we didn’t have to deal with parking as we were staying nearby. There was about a foot of water we had to walk through to get to the boardwalk due to the tide. Wearing shorts and sandals is recommended. The crew was very willing to take photos and even offered water on board. They went the extra step with a wedding anniversary on board by playing their song, and we all took part in singing along with the couple who was dancing. It really felt like our own boat with new found friends! Thank you Sand Dollar crew! See more..
