Wilmington by train

Contemporary art and the Christina River

Wilmington station sits close to the start of the Riverwalk. The Delaware Contemporary adds an indoor option on its public opening days.

Times to reach each place are planning allowances from the station, not measured routes. Check directions, opening hours and accessibility before you go.

Start at Tubman-Garrett Riverfront Park and follow a manageable section of the waterside path, turning back when you need to.

The operator lists dawn-to-dusk access daily. Exact clock hours were not verified, so this remains a daylight suggestion rather than a confirmed timed opening.

The allowance is for a short out-and-back near the station, not the full Riverwalk or the distant environmental center.
