Deleware's largest city, Wilmington, may be mostly about big business, but venture beyond the nine-to-five veneer and find an assortment of museums, a pleasant zoo, and a number of historic sights.
The Museum of Life & Science includes a long list of indoor and outdoor exhibits, from butterfly house to wetlands, all of them designed to encourage learning through hands-on activity. No child is left behind in the facility either, with areas targeted to different age groups, from infants to adults (who are young at heart). Teach kids the basics of health, ride the Ellerbee Creek Railway and help them explore their artistic side as they interact with other children in this museum space.
