This was a nice little area to take a short hike on a hot day. There isn’t any shade, but the actual education center is a good place to cool off, get some water, and use the restroom. There are a few cute creatures inside as well. I was hoping to take a longer walk on the nearby trail, but it appears to be miles of uncovered bike path, so not really the best for hiking.

This is a nice place to have a view of the city and the marsh from the observation deck of the nature center and the boardwalk trail is a great way to get up close and personal with the marsh environment. We haven't yet been inside the nature center due to Covid but I know in the past they've run programs like family canoeing in the marsh or Zumba. We will definitely be back to see the inside of the nature center and participate in a program in the future!

What a wonderful place to have, that is actually close to downtown and the highways, but clear of them too. The DuPont building is almost all open, except for the gift shop/office on the 3rd level. I really wanted to see inside, because I like to check out everything there is anywhere I go. We had our masks on, the hours on the door stated that it should have been opened, but it was closed/locked. Bummer. A couple minutes later someone came to the door, and we asked about the restrooms, etc. inside and she told us we needed masks. No problem. Having masks has become a given, we had just taken them off. I really don't think if the place was supposed to be open, that it should have been all locked up. But it didn't see very welcoming, so we ended up going to rest rooms on the ground level. From there we traveled the loop on the lower level around the marsh. Quite a lovely and necessary natural place. It's good that people have begun to recognize the importance of marshes, swamps and more. We can't keep building everywhere!

This is a place that I think everyone in Wilmington should visit at some point. It is such a relaxing place right next to the Riverfront and has activities for all age groups. There is a center with exhibits and educational activities geared towards families. There are also planned activities like canoeing which are open to the public with registration.I was there again recently when the new trail that leads to New Castle was inaugurated and plan to return more in the coming year.

We love to bring our grandchildren here and each visit is always different. The staff is very willing to answer questions and the views change according to the wildlife, time of year, time of day, etc. There is now a walk/bike path from the center to Historic New Castle though I haven't taken it yet. It's apparently 5 miles each way so would be great for any outdoor enthusiasts. It's located off the beaten path but is in the area of the Wilmington Riverfront. You can spend as little or as much time as you'd like.
