Recently, Forbes told the world what we already knew – that the Wilmington Riverwalk is one of the best riverfronts in the United States . What makes this slice of Delaware oh so perfect? If you’ve been, you already know! If you’re new to the area, though, check it out below and see all that it has to offer.
The Wilmington Riverwalk offers plenty for everyone to enjoy. Whether you're looking to spend a day shopping, eating, and playing - or you just want to go for a scenic stroll, you'll find all sorts of fun here.
The elevated walkway follows the Christina River along Justinson Street, and it traverses a crowded downtown as well as a quieter section where you'll get to enjoy the sounds and sights of an urban wildlife area.
All along the way you can spy local artwork, too! There are statues nestled among the trees...
... and hand crafted birdhouses that portray the First State's most famous homes and buildings.
If you're looking for a casual bite to eat, stop in to the Riverfront Market. You'll find quick and casual lunch or dinner spots, as well as small, boutique gourmet grocers selling everything you need to elevate your kitchen at home.
If you would rather splurge on a larger dinner out, stop in to Big Fish Grill, Iron Hill, or Harry Savoie's Steakhouse. These are some of the best restaurants in town! Constutition Yards Brewery is right in the middle of it all, too.
For a unique dining experience, book a dinner cruise on the Riverboat Queen. They only run seasonally, but there's no better way to spend a summer evening.
If you've got a competitive streak, why not try a round of mini golf? The course on the riverwalk is fun for all ages.
Families should make time to visit the Delaware Children's Museum, too.
This fun and funky kids' museum is a great place for learning and playing, and kids of all ages will enjoy a day here.
Need a place to stay? The Hyatt Regency offers riverfront views and modern accommodations.
Come spend a day along the Riverfront in Wilmington and you'll see just why it's such a well-loved spot here in Delaware.
