Delaware Dad Guide was created by a Delaware dad who was tired of spending more time searching for things to do than actually doing them.

I’m Andrew, a husband, father of two energetic boys, and lifelong Delaware resident. Like many parents, I’ve spent countless weekends trying to answer the same question:

“What should we do today?”

Whether it’s finding a new playground, discovering a family-friendly restaurant, planning a rainy day activity, or looking for a weekend event, I found myself constantly jumping between Facebook groups, Google searches, and outdated websites.

So I decided to create the resource I wished existed.

Why Delaware Dad Guide?

As parents, our free time is limited.

When I get a day off with my boys, I don’t want to spend an hour researching activities. I want reliable recommendations that help us make memories together.

Delaware Dad Guide focuses on:

  • Family-friendly events
  • Playgrounds and parks
  • Day trips worth the drive
  • Kid-friendly restaurants
  • Rainy day activities
  • Seasonal attractions
  • Hidden gems throughout Delaware and nearby areas

Everything on this site is selected with real families in mind.

A Dad’s Perspective

This isn’t a tourism website.

It’s not written by a marketing company.

It’s written by a dad who understands what parents are actually looking for:

  • Is it worth the drive?
  • Will my kids enjoy it?
  • Is it reasonably priced?
  • Can we spend a few hours there?
  • Is it something we’d actually do again?

Those are the questions I try to answer with every recommendation.

Our Goal

The mission of Delaware Dad Guide is simple:

Help Delaware families spend less time searching and more time making memories.

If this site helps your family discover a new favorite playground, restaurant, event, or weekend adventure, then it’s doing exactly what it was created to do.

Let’s Explore Delaware Together

Delaware may be a small state, but it’s packed with amazing places for families.

See you out there.
