点评:The Riverwalk is about 1.5 miles along the river. There is an outdoor theater at the north end, not far from multiple hotels so that you can walk to the venue and leave your car parked at your hotel. From the hotels It is about .5 mile south to the center of the Riverwalk, at Market St.
The people that live and work in Wilmington were all very friendly and helpful.
The Visitor Center is a Small octagonal building, but we never saw it open because it closed too early to consult about evening plans or advice for morning excursions. There were sandwich boards about boat excursions. Thankfully, our hotel had excellent tourist maps and places we were interested in had informational websites.
The restrooms in back of the Visitor Center building was not kept fresh or especially clean but at least they were open.
There are many restaurants within walking distance from the Riverwalk.
The most disappointing thing is the parking. Most tourist brochures I read said that the first hour was free, but we found no place free for the first hour and the price high, $4 or $5 per hour. As a tourist you have to do some investigation on where we need to be and if the place is open. As an example, we were looking for a specific ice cream store and when we arrived they weren’t open, as in closed with paper over the windows! Our GPS had shown it as open. We had to find another shop about a half mile further south.
There was a homeless person searching a trash can, sections of the Riverwalk had barricades, presumably for construction but didn’t appear to be an active worksite, and saw 3 rats run under a garage/storage shed along the Riverwalk. The city has really worked to make it more presentable but I probably won’t return.
翻译:河滨步道沿河长约1.5英里。北端有一个露天剧场,距离多家酒店不远,您可以步行前往演出场地,并将车停放在酒店。从酒店向南约0.5英里即可到达河滨步道中心,位于市场街。
在威尔明顿生活和工作的人们都非常友好和乐于助人。
游客中心是一座小型八角形建筑,但我们从未看到它开放,因为它关门太早,无法咨询晚间计划或上午的短途旅行建议。那里有关于乘船游览的广告牌。值得庆幸的是,我们酒店的旅游地图很棒,我们感兴趣的地方也有信息网站。
游客中心大楼后面的卫生间没有保持清新或特别干净,但至少它们是开放的。
从河滨步道步行即可到达许多餐厅。
最令人失望的是停车问题。我看过的大多数旅游手册都说第一个小时免费,但我们找不到第一个小时免费的地方,而且价格很高,每小时 4 或 5 美元。作为游客,你必须调查清楚我们需要去哪里以及这个地方是否营业。例如,我们想找一家特定的冰淇淋店,但到达时他们并没有开门,窗户上都贴着纸,像是关着一样!我们的 GPS 显示它开着。我们不得不在南边大约半英里的地方找另一家店。有一个无家可归的人在翻找垃圾桶,滨河步道的部分区域设置了路障,大概是为了施工,但看起来并没有施工现场,我还看到 3 只老鼠在滨河步道沿线的车库/储藏棚下跑来跑去。这座城市确实在努力让它变得更美观,但我可能不会再来了。
