Your Creation Station
Delaware may be one of the country’s smaller states, but it packs a punch when it comes to things to see and do. Resting on a peninsula bordered by the Delaware River, Delaware Bay, and the Atlantic Ocean, and backed by dune-backed beaches, Delaware offers an array of outdoor recreational activities and adventures. The capital Dover boasts beautifully preserved 18th-century Colonial landmarks, while the riverside city of Wilmington has a charming waterside district of parks, boutiques, and restaurants. Make a splash at the Thunder Lagoon Water Park, explore the forest and swamps of the Edward H McCabe Nature Preserve and learn all about the history of the state at the Fort Delaware State Park.
