Wilmington’s DuPont Center for Environmental Education is the largest facility of its kind in the state. Its convenient urban setting makes it an excellent option for those visiting Pike Creek or just passing through on the way to the beach.The center’s grounds are comprised of about 200 acres that include long stretches of the Christiana River, forests, and freshwater marshes. They’re home to an impressive variety of animals and birds that are commonly seen from the well-marked trails.The indoor portion of the facility includes interactive exhibits that are both engaging and educational. Admission is reasonable as well.

This is a beautiful place for a walk. ADA accessible paths into the marsh. Great place to explore nature in the heart of the city.

Deceivingly small plot of land that features architecture you would find from a pre-Corona world. The bathrooms were locked, so keep an eye on the liquid levels for real. Unfortunately there are no more ostriches or penguins, however the flowers are quite beautiful. The shorty recommends.

Great place! It was cool to walk around the facility and enjoy a little bit of nature so close to the city. The paths are well maintained and look great!

Well maintained boardwalk. Great place for easy hiking, and biking. Patrolled by security which is comforting.

Well actually me,and the family went walking on the trail down the Riverfront,and it was really nice.We didnt worry about social distancing considering it was a lot of people down there because,the trail is so long,and people werent close to each other.We enjoyed ourselves,and it wont be our last time there.

Nice place to take a long walk and enjoy the wetlands

A surprising Oasis at the end of a very pleasant 30 minute stroll by the River. Highly recommendable, in particular the visitor center

I really loved the bridge! :D

Discovered this free urban wildlife and nature refuge after walking about 1 mile from the Delaware RiverWalk shopping area. The center exhibits were closed Monday when we visited but the boardwalks and trails were open. Its reclaimed from an industrial area of the Christina River.

It was nice I went for a night stroll the natural light of the moon was very serene

Great place for biking and walking.

Great place to bike and walk. Nature museum is great, bring some binoculars to get a good view of the Beaver Dams.

Beautiful, blessed area.

Great for an evening, after dinner, stroll or daytime visit with the kids!

I am a frequent visitor to this wonderful boardwalk in the marshes. There is something new to see everytime

A great place to take the kids to learn about nature.

Great and enthusiastic staff. Wild life refugee and educational Center. You can rent bikes for doing well maintained and nature oriented trails.There are events that helps us learn about the places

The center is just a great place to bring your kids and grandkids. Their time in the outdoors checking out the animals and seeing how the seasons change things is something theyll have forever!

Very nice walking trail!

Beautiful peaceful enjoyable

Amazing walk

Loved it!

Nice place once all the constructions are done.

Cool place to see some wildlife, especially because its so close to the waterfront. Good for kids under 7-8, as it is small. You can spend about 2 hours or so here. There is a nice running path along the waterfront that ends here.

Its a pleasant place to stroll but Im always disappointed at no actual wildlife.

Educated and friendly staff. Our experience had lots of personnel attention. We enjoyed interacting with and feeding the animals. Beautiful view of downtown Wilmington and the surrounding wetlands.

What a lovely hidden gem! Wonderful place for a long quiet walk, surrounded by native plants and animals.

Fun and modern park. Really cool oasis in downtown. Loved it

A very pretty building next to a lovely boardwalk over a freshwater marsh just off the split of the brandywine and christiana rivers. A great place to enjoy a little stroll there is a footpath that connects it to riverwalk complex and frawley stadium. Lots of industrial development surrounds this nature preserve, my visit was punctuated by the clanging of huge pieces of metal from across the river and occasionally yelling men. I also saw the new castle county rowing association come back to their landing, that evening and that was pleasant. This is a great start at what one day will be a great area as land values rise and the industrial uses are pushed further south.

The place was a little hard to find but the view was really nice and the facility is really nice too.

Its small but the walking there is a delight. Just wander and meditate!

Its a beautiful nature area, two minutes south of the Riverfront.

Beautiful outdoor space, perfect for a stroll or to collect your thoughts!
