- Finrep001New York City, NY98 contributionsWhat a beautiful museum nestled in a residential area; I came for their substantial Pre-Raphaelite art, having become a fan when I lived in England. I also found various other art, previously unknown to me, that I thought was great.
The 1938 building has since blended with modern additions in an excellent way.
The café was a surprise with a great menu that tasted as good as it looked. The sculpture garden made for a pleasant walk after touring the museum. The museum staff were friendly and helpful.Written March 2, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- LeonhknyHong Kong, China14,580 contributionsDelaware's largest city feels more like a sleepy town. This impressive building comes as Wilmington's most remarkable structure.

- DBanana50Highlands Ranch, CO21 contributionsI discovered recently that I had family ancestors that were married at this church. I reached out online and received documentation confirming the genealogy. This is a beautiful and wonderfully preserved historic site and we were so grateful to have spent time here. Seven Tucker was an outstanding tour guide, extremely knowledgeable and helpful and friendly… Kudos to old Swedes church!Written August 15, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The Blue Rocks staff keeps you entertained even if the action on the field slows down. Watch for Mr Celery! Lots of food & beverage choices, at lower prices than many ball parks. Reasonable tickets and FREE parking. Try finding that at the big city majors.Written August 2, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Alicia_JAChicago336 contributionsI visited because there are parts of this area that have recently become part of the NPS's First State NHP. The visitor center houses the Passport Stamp.
