Go on an Adventure to the Enchanted Woods.

Just twenty minutes outside of Wilmington, you will want to explore the three-acre fairy gardens, called the Enchanted Woods, at Winterthur. It is only eight minutes from Brandywine.  The garden is beautiful and there are signs of fairy life, including little houses, everywhere. Check out their website before visiting to read the story of the Enchanted Woods to your kiddos. The Museum, which is a historic home filled with antique furniture, is beautiful and fun for adults, but the Enchanted Woods is the highlight for little ones.

Visit Brandywine State Park after you finish your stroll in the gardens for tubing, kayaking, or hiking. Buckley’s Tavern or Centreville Cafe are great places nearby to grab a meal with kids.
