||||||||||
|
As one of the 13 original colonies and the first
state to ratify the U.S. Constitution, Delaware played a pivotal role in early
American history. Interactive exhibits and hands-on activities help bring the
past alive for the young and the young-at heart. At Wilmington’s
Delaware
History Museum, kids can check out a life-sized American Indian
long house and explore a home hiding From pristine beaches and bays to rolling hills and unspoiled woodlands, Delaware provides many opportunities for outdoor exploring. Delaware's Hidden Treasures
At Trap Pond State Park in Laurel, a canoe trip through the Bald Cypress Swamp is a great way to spot many forms of wildlife, including songbirds, turtles, and maybe a beaver or two. After a day on the water, families can spend the night in some of the most exotic accommodations under the stars -- yurtz, dome-shaped tents that originate from Mongolian nomads.

At the
DiscoverSea Shipwreck Museum in Fenwick Island,
kids can get a close-up view of relics recovered from ancient shipwrecks, many
of which were found off the Delaware coast. After a tour of the museum, they can
hunt for their own buried treasure by renting a metal detector on-site and
heading out to Coin Beach, where King George III coins can still be found.
For some high-flying fun, families
head to the Air Mobility Command Museum on
Dover Air Force Base. The museum houses some of the most unique
and distinguished military flying machines used over the last 50 years. Visitors
can stand in the bomb bay of a B-17, view the colossal C-5 Galaxy transport, and
examine the combat scars of a C-47.
For the
child who thinks milk comes from a grocery store, a visit to Dover’s
Delaware Agricultural Museum and Village is the perfect excursion. Here, more than 4,000
agriculture-related artifacts, including a crop duster, antique tractors, an
authentic 18th century log house and the first broiler chicken house, are on
display. A host of special events held throughout the year give children the
opportunity to obtain hands-on experience in farm life.
