Bring the whole family to Wilmington’s Ramsey’s Farm, where you can pick and decorate pumpkins, take a hayride, make your way through the spooky trail, and even wander a corn maze, all in Wilmington, DE.

Fort DuPont State Park

Fort DuPont was Fort DuPont State Park’s functioning military base from the Civil War to WW2. Only 25 mins from Springhill Suites! Protecting Delaware River ports from enemy ships, it is just an eerie memory of what one was since being abandoned in the 1940s.
