The Children’s Museum of Wilmington on Orange Street focuses on learning through hands-on, imaginative play. Its interactive educational exhibits sit within connected historic buildings downtown. Use the museum’s official visitor information to check admission and the exhibits or programs that fit your children’s interests.

Jungle Rapids on Oleander Drive offers another kind of outing, with miniature golf, go-karts, laser tag, arcade games and a children’s play area, plus a waterpark. Check its current schedule and individual attraction information before choosing the activities you want; the waterpark should be planned around its operating season.

Choose one destination as the main event and leave time for breaks. Confirm any booking or participation requirements directly with the venue, then build the rest of the day around that activity.

Plan with the official sources

This is an evergreen planning guide. Confirm access, opening times, admission, and program schedules with the venue before visiting.
