Exhibits at this fun, child-centric museum range from an art studio and miniature grocery store to a teddy bear hospital and science center. This museum is sure to engage children ages 1-10 for a solid couple of hours, and give their parents some respite from the need to constantly come up with fun diversions themselves. Museum hours are 9am to 5pm Monday through Saturday and 1pm to 5pm Sunday. Admission costs $8 per person.

The Children's Museum was a nice outing during our stay in Wilmington. I haven't been to a children's museum that really blew me away - most of them have the same exhibits - grocery store, diner, pupp ... more on TripAdvisor
