1 / 3Delaware Children's Museum
đ Wilmington, NY
Interactive STEM-focused museum on the Riverfront featuring a massive water table, pirate ship, race track, bounce area, rock climbing, and a 300-year-old climbable tree. Monthly reduced-admission family nights available.
We went for their monthly $2 admission family night they do & it's such a neat place to take your young children...and if you're like me, it's fun for you too! There's SO many awesome things for the kids to do from the massive interactive water table, pirate ship, train, race car, sports area, giant building blocks, art center, fun photo booth & gift shop, little "racing" area, or maybe even to the giant tree climb in the center of everything where there's a slide to get down or they can climb through this netted maze down to the bottom..this place has made education fun again for everyone! 1000/1000 HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! Edit to add: I've went twice, once with my niece & sister to celebrate my nieces birthday and then again with my sister & niece (she's 5, just for reference đ) and brought my oldest daughter along with us (she's 12 & had a BLAST as well!)
đ Family Action Verdict
Best for families with children from toddler age through early primary school who want a full energy-burning session paired with STEM learning. The interactive format keeps kids moving for two or more hours. Security at entry is light â parents should keep close watch on children throughout the visit.

âThis was an absolute ball of fun! Great staff with a bunch of attractions! We spent hours there making sure we got to every area at least once. The most fun was had on the race track and the bounce area. No area was overly crowded which is a plus! Safe for play! Free parking and multiple restaurants near by plus a movie theater. Definitely recommend!â

âVisited 11/8/25. Great place for the kids to run around and burn off some energy. Plenty of STEAM-related activities for children and lots of chairs for the adults! #PlaygroundAroundâ

âHad family bring grandchildren to spend a couple of hours watching the kids enjoy all the hands-on activities. First time here. Large free parking lot. 2 restaurants with the same parking lot access. Security is a little light on who enters, so be sure to keep a watch over your children. Admission was $12 per person. Can purchase a membership, if desired. Saw at least 2 restroom areas. Many hands-on activities with different themes, including sports, construction, water, and fresh fruits and veggies, produce stand. Activities for all ages, young and old alike. Parents can participate too. Small gift shop, but need to pay at front desk.â

Socks are required for some attractions. Benches and tables are distributed throughout for accompanying adults.
