5.0Go Ape Zipline & Adventure Park(270 reviews) - This is a "must do" - family, friends, couples, anyone! Sunday: 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..
4.5Glasgow 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..
4.0Jungle Jim's(251 reviews) - Great weekday activity for the family! Sunday: 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..
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..
4.5Battery 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..
4.5Fenwick Island State Park(194 reviews) - love the place, can't see going anywhere else. State Parks
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..

4.5White Clay Creek State Park(162 reviews) - Popular hiking and nature-lovers' destination. Sunday: 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..
My 6 & 10 yr old grandsons loved this park. We got the 4-hour pass and they spent all the time. There isn’t a lot for teens/adults-only 2 slides big enough for older kids. There’s a nice lazy river, 3 smaller slides, a tipping bucket/ship, along with a 0-entry pool and splash pad area. Staff was friendly and seemed well staffed with the life guards. It’s a relatively small park, but perfect for the 12 & under crowd. We were there on a Sunday in July and I was surprised it never got crowded; plenty of chairs and shaded area. The park was clean, as well. Appreciated their military discount.See more..
4.5Bellevue State Park(95 reviews) - Summer tradition continues State Parks • Parks
A Park For All Seasons Bellevue Hall mansion commands a grand view of this historic estate, and its present form reflects alterations made by William du Pont, Jr. Mr. du Pont surrounded his home with the finest facilities: tennis courts, equestrian stables, gardens, and a picturesque pond, amid woodlands and fields overlooking the Delaware River. The park was acquired by the State of Delaware in 1976. The Delaware Division of Parks and Recreation has retained the historic charm of Bellevue while providing many opportunities for recreation. Walking and jogging are popular activities at any time of the year. A 1-1/8 mile fitness track circles a catch-and-release fishing pond while the nearby exercise trail offers a refreshing workout. Hiking trails allow you to explore other parts of the estate. If you prefer cycling, both paved and unpaved paths lead you on a leisurely tour. A popular spot for picnics, weddings and get-togethers.See more..
This park is lovely and has well maintain trails with good signage. We went with a group of adults and children. The parking is $8 for out of state, which seemed a bit high especially since we took 2 cars, but it was still less expensive than visiting other attractions in the area.See more..
4.5Killens Pond State Park(71 reviews) - We rented a pavilion for a large group of 50 State Parks
Rentimg was easy and the slight processing fee was OK. The site was clean and everybody had a great time. Being near the water park was a big draw for families with kids and we the prices at $8 and $10 -- a fraction of what you pay at the beachSee more..

This park is a great community space. We've been here in the past for community rallies for BLM, outdoor concerts put on by the city, and for the annual Flower Market. This is a great, safe place to walk after work and enjoy the view across the river from along the stone wall at the far end. During the Flower Market and during some Sunday afternoons, they have the tower open to climb. We did so during the Flower Market and it was a fun, classic Wilmington experience. You can see for miles from the top. We also love coming to the dog park here. It's a nice open space and allows the dogs to run but also have their space unlike other parks that are a smaller fenced in area that can sometimes cause aggressive dog behaviors. This place is historical but also continues to serve the community today. Well worth a visit on a nice day, especially a day when the tower is open for climbing.See more..
4.5First State Heritage Park(55 reviews) - Unexpected surprise! Sunday: Spent More than 3 hours Parks
First State Heritage Park is Delaware's first urban "park without boundaries" that links historic and cultural sites in the city that has been the seat of government since 1777.First State Heritage Park is a partnership of state and city agencies under the leadership of Delaware State Parks. Admission to all sites is free.See more..
3.5Killens Pond Water Park(52 reviews) - State water park Sunday: 10:00 AM - 7:00 PM Water Parks
For an inexpensive entry fee visitors can cool off in the pool and have some fun on the slides . For families there is a section that is shallow and has amusements for the small fry . It does get crowded so going before noon is a plus . So if you want a pool rather than the beach for the day it's a good alternative .See more..
We took our dog for a hike at Alapocas Run while driving through the area. We parked at the ball fields and hiked the trails through the woods. Beautiful trails with access to a couple small waterfalls and other scenic and historical spots. The blue rock cliffs provide the state's only natural rock-climbing cliff. The Northern Delaware Greenway runs through here as well and its a really nice greenway trail. Overall, this is a great place for a hike if in the Wilmington area.See more..
4.5Brandywine Park(38 reviews) - Cherry blossoms Spent 2-3 hours Parks
Visited this park at the beginning of April and the cherry blossom trees were in bloom. It was beautiful. Sat on the edge of a fountain to admire for a while, then took a walk along the water. Peaceful and Serene place.See more..
Although this is cited as a dog park, there is so much more to do here. Love running the trail that leads down into St Anne's neighborhood with my running partner. Very scenic with a pond for fishing, trails, track, dog park and children's playground.See more..
The park itself has multiple items of interest. First, is the only still suviving DuPont School built for Black American Children. It has old desks, a old stove, etc. Iron Hill itself is one of the highest locations in Delaware, and was used during war with England to keep track of what bay the English ships were coming into (Delaware Bay or Chesapeak Bay). It also was used to get Iron Ore. Lots of history in the Park.See more..
4.5Grove Park(29 reviews) - Tot Playground- Awesome Parks
Funland is fun but Grove Park is FREE fun! :) And if you're like me, you appreciate being off the beaten path with the little ones- that's relaxing vacation time. Of course we could go to a playground at home but the familiarity of green space and the playground is, I think, comforting to the little ones when on sensory (and sugar) overload. I wish I'd ventured into the visitor center... I still might, but time is running out on our vacation!See more..
4.5Mary Vessels Park(27 reviews) - Cozy little park with public restrooms Parks
4.0Battery Park(22 reviews) - You can see Fort Delaware from Battery Park Parks
Great way to spend an afternoon. Pack a lunch and enjoy the view. You can walk on paved paths or sit and watch the world go by. Lots of resident birds and super-friendly squirrels. Bathrooms are a wee bit gross.See more..
I get an annual DE parks pass and launch my boat from here about 50 times a year. The launch is deep and I can put in my 18 foot boat by myself even at low tide. My only big complaint is relative to some of the ignorant people who frequent the launch. People actually think its a good idea to have their little kids hand crabbing on the active launch when boats are being backed in and out. Not only is that dangerous, it is down right ignorant. It has a hard stand restroom and they put a job johnny by the boat launch in the summer.See more..
4.0Mid-Atlantic Grand Prix(20 reviews) - Go Karts and Axes This location was reported permanently closed Amusement & Theme Parks
Good go kart races, plus axe throwing! Indoor track was well designed, and karts seemed fast enough. 4 lanes of axe throwing. Membership option for go karts helps with price for repeat races. Just watch as some karts stall-out mid race. Also have a racing simulator.See more..
4.5Delaware Rock Gym(19 reviews) - Indoor Climbing Sunday: 10:00 AM - 8:00 PM Amusement & Theme Parks
If you love climbing, having a rock gym in the area is definitely a benefit. They offer instruction if you've never climbed too. My husband and I enjoy climbing and it's nice to have a good place to go no matter what the weather. The Rock Gym is clean and well-managed.See more..
3.0Hullabaloo Amusement Center(19 reviews) - A clean and fun place for little children Sunday: 10:00 AM - 7:00 PM Amusement & Theme Parks
After reading negative reviews, I was pleasantly surprised at how nice and clean Hullabaloo is. I have been looking for a place to take my 2 1/2 year old niece to play this winter and I have found it. It is not a very big place which is perfect if you have younger children. We stayed for over 2 hours, so well worth the $8. My only complaint is that there was no supervision for the older children who were running over-top the little ones. We will be going back.See more..
This is steps away from the Zwaanendael Museum and just a short walk from the main part of downtown Lewes. So, if you love herb gardens don't miss this one. It's very lovely and well marked and worth the walk. The whole park is lovely as well. This is worth the short walk from downtown if you're in Lewes. You will be glad you took the time to go!See more..
I go here with my kids often. I love this small town. The park is on the river & has summer concerts & beautiful view!See more..
4.0Assawoman Canal(14 reviews) - Beautiful and Well Maintained Trail - Bike & Dog Friendly! Spent < 1 hour State Parks • Bodies of Water • Nature & Wildlife Areas
Found this location by accident, but it was worth it. The trail is close to 1-mile long and it is well maintained. My wife had total knee replacement at the beginning of July and she was able to walk the segment from the parking lot to Central Avenue with no problem. The trail is bike and dog friendly. There's a paid parking lot at the trail head - I think it was very expensive, but there is a very well maintained ramp where you can launch your kayak. Parking/use fees are paid on the honor system - envelopes and a pay station is available. I wish there was a way to pay using ParkMobile or some other electronic method because I barely had enough cash on me to pay the $10 fee. The path runs along the canal and it's very peaceful. Note that there are properties along the path. There are no trash receptacles, so make sure you have a way to pack your trash with you. This is a good activity for all ages and we plan to walk the other tails that are part of the Delaware Park system.See more..
3.5Fort DuPont State Park(14 reviews) - Good short stop for a little history State Parks • Parks
Very cool place for what it is - not very big and an easy walk. Great location on the river. The batteries were pretty cool - but definitely lacking information. Signs about what happened there and what it looked like would have been nice. The buildings riding to it were pretty neat and again some more signs with history of them would have been great. The bugs were definitely annoying - but that’s nature. They could have kept the port a John a lot cleaner.See more..
Walking, biking skateboarding, kids park, dog run.....it is all there. Always clean and well maintained.See more..
4.5Stockley Street Park(13 reviews) - Great park for the kids...just a few blocks from the beach Parks
We took the kids here to be able to run around & stretch their legs. They had a great time at the Silver Lake Tot Lot (in Stockley Street Park). They have 4 baby swings, 2 big kid swings, a small rock climbing wall, at least 4 slides, 2 neat turtle teeter totter type toys and a climbing rope. There are several picnic tables and benches on location. There are tons of shade trees here, which are great for a hot summer day. There was also a water drinking fountain in this park! There is a small foot bridge that crosses Silver Lake and enters the park. From this foot bridge you can see tons of geese & red ear slider turtles. You could bring some cracked corn for the ducks & geese. There were also tons of squirrels running around & playing too. The kids LOVED the wildlife here. Overall, a really nice park. Only downside is that there is no parking lot for this park. So you have to park on the street, which requires a parking permit during the summer season until 5pm.See more..
not even the public parking lot can take away the beauty of the 1812 Park and canal. Check out the cannons, Lewes in Bloom floral displays and Front Street shops. Great way to sit back and relax.See more..
3.0Silver Lake Park(9 reviews) - Park? Nature & Wildlife Areas • Parks
Saw the sign for the park and thought we would check out the park. Behind the sign is an elementary school and school parking lot. If you pull into the school parking lot, there is an athletic field beside the parking lot. I did NOT see an actual park with playgrounds for the kids or walking trails. Did not stay to explore any further since school is NOT out of session yet. Website says there is a public pool behind the school with daily rates $3 or you can buy a membership.See more..
4.0SIlver Lake Park(9 reviews) - Nice park Spent 1-2 hours Parks
This is a nice park to walk in. The area I was in had two bridges crossing the creek, making it possible to walk a complete loop. The views of the creek and lake from these bridges is fantastic. The one bridge however is very narrow and you have to move to the side if someone comes. There's grills for picnics in in a playground too. Just a word of caution, a lot of people fish in the creek, including from the bridges. Make sure to keep alert when they cast their line.See more..
Check out ADA’S PICNIC she makes all her own salads all of them are FANTASTIC..Good ole fashioned like gramma made Check it out you won’t be sorry See more..
4.5Beck's Pond Park(6 reviews) - Entertainment from geese and seagulls Spent 1-2 hours Bodies of Water • Parks
Beck's Pond, though surrounded by housing, manages to let nature shine in its bright and sparkling blue waters. I was greeted on arrival by entertaining flocks of geese and seagulls. They did not mind the cold weather and flew and swam in all directions. Watching them alone made the visit worthwhile. Of course, for relaxing and recreation, there are several gazebo shaped pavilions for picnics and play equipment for children. There is a boat ramp, again well guarded by the seagulls. See more..
4.5Stango Park(6 reviews) - Great concerts in a lovely park in Lewes. Parks • Gardens
The park just as a park provides a quiet spot to visit and enjoy the area. On Tuesday evenings for a number of years now Stango Park, courtesy of the City of Lewes, WSFS bank, and the Delaware Division of the Arts bursts out in music and song. The summer concert series has twelve toe tapping concerts free to the public to enjoy and wow are they a lot of fun for young and old. If the weather is bad they move the concert to the Cape Henlopen High School theatre at 1250 Kings Highway down the road. We have been attending every year since we first found out about them and have seen three great shows this year with one more to go in August. Bring your chair and come on out for a good time!See more..
4.5Lewes Unleashed Dog Park(5 reviews) - What a lovely place for your pet to play. Parks Large areas for your pet to play. Grass & trees and a place for owners to sit. I haven't used the training area but it is well set up and look forward to spending a little time in there.See more..
We just visited during a warm winter day. I wish I thought of looking for it sooner. We took our son to the playground area. There are two sections that are fenced off. There’s also a walking path on the north side that takes you through a wooded area abeam a small stream.See more..

4.5George Read Park(3 reviews) - Quaint historic college town Parks
Newark high school is the oldest high school in Delaware and the town of Newark is home to the U of Delaware. George Read park sits across the street from the high school. Not only is the park attractive, but the whole town is quaint. George Read was a signer of the Declaration and the first paper mill in the United States was in Newark. As part of a stroll around Newark, this park is a good stop.See more..
Went here for a birthday party that was being held at one of the picnic pavilions. Pavilion was nice and provided good shade for the party. There was also a small cement slab that could probably be used for a skate park, some swings, a playground for the tots, a few tennis courts, a wall to practice tennis or play wall ball, baseball field and basketball court. Overall, it was a nice green space for a party that worked out well for a bounce house. There were picnic tables and a nice shade pavilion too. There was a port-a-potty on location.See more..
5.0Phillips Landing Park & Monument(1 review) - Another investment in the park Sunday: 6:00 AM - 7:00 PM Parks For boaters wishing to launch further down the Nanticoke or Broad Creek this is a great location. The ramps and docks have been redone again and are great for trailer boats, canoes, and kayaks. There is bank fishing, picnic areas, etc. See more..
Although Augustine State Wildlife Management Area is listed as being located in Middletown, it is found in two sections along Route 9 both north and south of Port Penn. The preserve is managed by the Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control. There are winding trails among the marshes and stunning views of the river/Bay and Wetlands. An informative sign tells us that the area is part of the Delaware Bayshore Byway. The signs provide QRC updates on migratory and native birds. In fact, the area is called a birding "Hotspot."
