The Biggs Museum of American Art is often overlooked by visitors more intent on seeing the city’s more prominent attractions. But for lovers of art and history, it’s the perfect place to spend an hour or two out of the elements. Much of the museum is dedicated to photojournalism. Its exhibits are spread over three floors and include local and regional art, period furniture, and other historically significant memorabilia as well. Though admission is free, there is occasionally a small charge to see special, temporary exhibits. There’s a nice little on-site gift shop that’s worth checking out as well.

Casino

Though the casino draws a hefty gambling crowd from the neighboring states of Maryland and Pennsylvania, its proximity to Dover International Raceway makes it a popular destination for race fans as well. The facility’s amenities include a harness racing track, plentiful dining options, and lots of comfortable watering holes to take a load off and relax with a cold drink.

The speedway has been open for more than five decades. Though it started small, it has become a regional favorite for its fast track, fun-loving crowd, and all-around exciting atmosphere. The track is a moderately banked, high-speed oval. During races, the entire town swells with visitors. Days of tailgating before the race are characterized by lots of adult beverages, live entertainment, and tons of food options

Breakfast

Though the House of Coffi has only been open since 2018, it’s attracted a loyal following of diehard coffee and caffeine junkies. Their beans are roasted on-site multiple times daily to ensure each cup is as fresh as it can be. The eclectic background music and local art adorned walls give it a chic, bohemian vibe that’s definitely lacking in national chain coffee shops. House of Coffi is located in a historic part of town and opens at 6:30 every morning – except Sunday, when it opens a tad later. They offer plenty of non-coffee drink options, fresh baked goods, and light fare as well.

People visit J.P.’s to indulge in our diverse menu while enjoying our scenic fishing village environment on the Delaware Bay. Bowers beach was the docking station for the steam boat, The Frederica, that traveled between here and Philadelphia. The town in its day was a fishing industry hub (oysters, fish, blue crabs, and charter boats). Fishing is a way of life in this small town. J.P.’s takes advantage of the gifts the Delaware Bay has to offer, we pride ourselves on catching our own Rockfish, harvesting oysters and supporting our local crabbers. Everything is cooked to order with the freshest of ingredients.

Sightseeing

First State Heritage Park is one of the state’s oldest urban parks. In addition to offering visitors outdoor recreation activities, it also features art, cultural, and live entertainment events on a regular basis. The park is most well-known for its first Saturday events. They change monthly, which means each time is a little something different. For those who won’t be around on Saturday, the park is open daily and is a great place to stretch tired legs, burn a few extra calories, and learn about the state’s history, which dates all the way back to the 17th century.

The southern portion of Delaware is dominated by Atlantic coast beaches. Though they’re less developed than beaches in neighboring Maryland, they’re particularly popular with those who prefer natural beauty to hordes of tourists, noisy boardwalks, and gaudy high-rise hotels. Delaware Seashore State Park has been open to the public since the mid-‘60s. Lying between the Atlantic Ocean, the Delaware River, and Rehoboth Bay, it is popular with surfers, surf fishers, and those who enjoy long days swimming, body surfing, and sunbathing. Despite its relative remoteness, there are several dining, lodging, and activity options nearby to fit most budgets.

Shopping

THRIFTING LOVERS???? For over seven decades, it’s been attracting the thrifty flea market crowd, but regulars agree that it’s head and shoulders above the competition. Much of what’s for sale is from Amish farmers and artisans. There are both indoor and outdoor portions that house hundreds of individual vendors selling everything from baked goods and jewelry to vintage clothing, obscure records, and prepared food items like local honey, salsa, and cheese. Most guests spend more time on-site than they’d originally intended, so consider allotting at least a few hours.
