The Winterthur Gardens is one of the best places to have fun in Delaware as a family. Winterthur is a museum, library, and garden in one! But, the real deal is when you take your kids into the Enchanted Woods.

If you and your kids love trees and boats, you should see Trap Pond, State Park. A long time ago, the locals flooded this swamp land for easier access to harvesting cypress trees. Now, it's a gorgeous lake dotted with stunning cypress trees and lots of wildlife. 

Adventurous families can rent canoes to traverse the park’s diverse water trails. Canoe between the cypress to enjoy the shade offered by the trees. The experience will leave you and your kids in awe of these majestic trees and will make you come back here again.

We've done some gardens, then water, now let's visit planes. At Dover Air Force Base, a free museum showcases some of the US Air Force’s enormous retired planes. Imagine walking through these planes up close, with an Air Force veteran as your tour guide!

Mid-Atlantic families love Dover's Air Mobility Command Museum. You and your kids can walk around these massive planes and admire them from every angle. Even as an adult, you can still feel the awe of how big these planes are since we only see them usually in the sky.
