Things to do in Dover, Delaware (DE): The Best Fun Activities & Games
With NASCAR at the Speedway, harness racing at Dover Downs, 10 nationally recognized museums, plus historical attractions galore, it's easy to see why the capital of Delaware is a great weekend destination. Check out the world's largest cargo plane, stationed at Dover Air Force Base, or explore the beginnings of recorded sound at the Johnson Victrola Museum. It's the perfect time to visit the Biggs Museum of Art, which is running a special exhibition to celebrate its 10th anniversary. "Artful Living: the Legacy of Sewell C. Biggs" features fine and decorative art gems from the private collection of the local patron and museum namesake. Also worth a visit: the Delaware Agricultural Museum and the John Dickinson Plantation, where staff, dressed in period costume, explain and reenact life in the late 18th and 19th centuries. Round out the day with a meander around Green and Loockerman Streets downtown. Lined with historic Colonial and Victorian buildings, plus specialty book, candle and jewelry stores, it's a great place to shop or sample the local fare at a neighborhood cafe or restaurant.

My husband and I stayed 3 nights at Dover Downs Hotel and Casino. The hotel is clean, comfort and quiet. We danced the night away at Fire & Ice to the music of a live band, enjoyed a delicious seafood meal at the Festival Buffet, we had an intimate dinner one night at Michelle's, and enjoyed the wide variety of gaming options in the casino. And to top it off Dover Downs is located in an area near a mall and is bustling with other business and resturants in the same vicinity, so went to the movies one day, did some shopping and took advantage of a couple cultural events that was happening in the area. We had it all during our visit.
