5.0 Milford Museum (5 reviews)
- A Must Visit
Saturday: 10:00 AM - 3:30 PM History Museums

The museum is a lot larger than it seems from the outside. There are several nicely put together exhibits throughout the museum that covers everything Milford. I had no idea Milford had so much history. The museum director was marvelous and she gave us a spectacular tour. I probably wore her out with my auditing mentality and all the questions. I love museums so I could have easily spent a lot longer there than my wife wanted. And it’s free. This is a must stop if you’re in town. I’m sure with so many exhibits you’ll find something to catch you attention. There’s also free parking and the museum is across the street from the library and a short walk to the Riverwalk.

5.0 Y Chromosome Massage (4 reviews)
- My back issues were 100% alleviated!
Saturday: 10:00 AM - 8:00 PM Spent 1-2 hours Spas

Men have different needs than women do. Men want to be touched differently. We have totally different values. We're uncomfortable walking into a spa where women are having their toenails painted to ask about massage services. We want a space where we feel comfortable, not one where we are the "outsiders." I've built my business around taking care of men. I enjoy working on men and they seem to enjoy the straight-forward approach I have to massage. No vanilla candles here. No perky receptionist asking if you want to add on a facial or foot scrub today. Just me asking you where it hurts, what is tight or stiff, what are your goals for this session? Then you get on the table and I make it all better. See more..

5.0 Delaware River Adventures (2 reviews)
- Kayak Adventure
Saturday: 9:00 AM - 6:00 PM Kayaking & Canoeing

Delaware River Adventures was able to accommodate my fiance and myself with everything we needed to get out on the Mispillion River. We went to their location in Milford,DE. From that point on in the shop we were welcomed by both owners and they fulfilled all of our needs: Kayaks, paddles, life jackets and a scavenger hunt map!!!

4.5 Mispillion River Brewing (52 reviews)
- New Brew Pub
Saturday: 12:00 PM - 12:00 AM Breweries

Stopped by here the first time today. My husband and I ordered the flight of samplers which meant we got to try all 10 beers served on tap. $20. Very good tasting varieties of miccrobrewed beer. Service was excellent and everyone very friendly. Apparently they tour on Saturdays only. Although we sat at the dozen-seated bar, the pub itself was very spacious with flat screen TVs and plenty of tables and seating. Restrooms clean and spacious. It was a nice touch that they provided a selection of board games so if you wanted to hang out and play a game there is no rush to get you out of there. Will definitely go back! See more..

4.0 Mispillion River Walk (6 reviews)
- Great Free Activity
Spent < 1 hour Historic Walking Areas • Scenic Walking Areas

It’s a short walk and easily done by anyone at all fitness levels. My wife had her knee replaced 4-weeks ago and she didn’t have a problem. The path was very well maintained and clean. There are benches along the path, but not all of them have shade. There’s also free parking at the trailhead and what looks like restrooms. We were here for a day trip and it was perfect for us. There are also several restaurants along the path and the public library, do you have of places to escape the weather - it was close to 90 degrees today, so we stopped at a restaurant to eat/cool off as we made our way. It’s a good free activity and I do recommend it. See more..
