10 Fun Activities & Games in Wilmington That You Shouldn't Miss

March 26, 2022 Emerita Lamoureux

Wilmington is a vibrant riverfront city and the most accessible coastal area in the state. The pedestrian-friendly Riverwalk winds along the Cape Fear River, connecting many of the city’s shops, cafés, and nightlife with waterfront hotels, parks and the Port City Marina. Annual festivals, such as Riverfest, Wilmington Beer Week and the world-famous North Carolina Azalea Festival, attract crowds year-round. Three nearby island beaches offer even more dining, attractions and water sports.

Blackbeard's Escape was challenging for all, newbies as well as those that had been to escape rooms before. More importantly though it was a LOT of fun!! Thankfully Chase had our back when our ship seemed doomed to sink! Kris and her staff were incredibly gracious and went out of their way to ensure everyone that walks through their door leaves looking forward to returning. Can't wait to try the other rooms!! Highly recommend this place!!

The three of us were so excited about our Exit Games experience! We had so much fun working together to find clues that would lead us to “steal” valuable objects from the vault. Hayley, our hostess, was super friendly and helpful, and our time in the escape room was filled with laughter, suspense, and plenty of challenging puzzles. We couldn’t have asked for a better first-time escape room experience!
