PX shopping center closed on Sundays, Express Shoppetes neither had working ice machines, they have two. Commissary was open. Terminal was open. They do have a museum worth the stop. Read my review for Eagle Inn lodging if you want my lodging review. Base grounds look maintained, just a few other issues. Welp off to Walmart we go... read more

Dover AFB - Public Services & Government Near Me - Dover, Delaware

Housing and base staff are excellent. The lack of taxi service on&off base is unbelievably annoying. Herra cafè is closed. Hot dog joint is closed. Eagles's Grill is closed. The Exchange opens late & closes early. Lodging is dusty, dated, and has minimal accomodations. read more

See all

Fairly small base ( at least from where I entered) that you can easily find your way to many things. Small exchange that I really didn't care for because there wasn't much to see. It was around 1pm on a Sunday & there was no hustle & bustle. read more

Housing and lodging area is really nice! Multiple playgrounds and I saw a large pool area with water slides. It was a holiday weekend so we didn't visit much on base. read more

I was so excited to come here because I do not have many chances to go to Air Force bases. It was a holiday. So it was quite different from What I expected. Many things were close. I found some local breweries around this base. They were close, too.... read more

Loved it here when I TDY'd from Travis AFB in 2015. I came in the summer of 2014. It was hot. It was hazy. And it was huuuuumid! The humidity was atrocious! I got to visit Dover Downs, went to Rehoboth Beach and also went to Washington DC. It was worth every minute. I also met one of my best friends there. I saw some crazy thunderstorms while there. I think a tornado had touched down just over the state line in NJ. I haven't seen winds like that since I lived in Arkansas. And the lightning was out of this world! The base was clean and fairly easy to navigate. Some or all of the restaurants (actually, there were two or three there when I was there. Very small selection) were closed on Sundays. But there are plenty of amazing places to eat off base. That how discovered the little gem called "Where Pigs Fly". It's this little hole-in-the-wall restaurant that had some AMAZING ribs and mac n cheese that was to DIE FOR! If you go during the summer, go to Rehoboth Beach. The boardwalk has some amazing restaurants. The Green Turtle was a place I'd never been to before. They had a peanut and jelly hamburger!!!! And it was THE BOMB! Whoever thought of that needs a Nobel Peace Prize or something! There's also an ice cream shop at the boardwalk that sells just about any flavor you can think of. I got to visit the White House too. Too much to describe here. I will say this: go visit. You won't be disappointed. And go visit the Smithsonian as we Notice how I haven't really talked about DAFB, but rather what's around it.... Not every air force base is gonna be fun. But there is always gonna be something do do around it. Dover AFB has TONS of stuff to go see and do. read more

It's an Air Force Base. What did you expect, Camelot? Have valid I.D., don't speed, don't run stop signs, and don't expect them to do anything quickly if it ain't directly related to their mission, and you will be fine. read more

Dover Air Force Base is most of the times our stop when traveling to New York from Hampton, VA. Why? Because it has an inn with family rooms. We've stayed here a couple of times and I'm always surprised at how nice it is. We've never had a problem getting a room, never had a problem checking in. The family rooms that we've stayed in have always been nice and clean. Comes with a high chair (yay) and a pack-n-play (yay again) I LOVE the full kitchen, too bad I've never been there long enough to actually use it. The beds are okay, last stay I slept in the single bed and yeah, hard as a rock. The bathrooms are clean, although our towels did smell a bit funky last time, maybe it hadn't been cleaned or just forgotten. I'm sad tho because we forgot my son's baby blanket which he's had since he was born and they claimed they never found it :( Can't be that hard to find a blanket. Overall it's worth the money staying there, especially if you already been on the road for a while. Makes for a good stop. read more

Blessed here beyond any expectations! My dad passed away in DE and I could not make it to his military honors at his Memorial Cemetery in Bear, DE. since I live in Seattle, WA and he died in the hospital unexpectedly and as such things had to move along quicker than I could have. Nonetheless, the United States Air Force came through and presented my dad (a WWII and Korean War Veteran) with the most dignified and respectful tribute any grateful daughter could have ever asked for. I will be forever in their debt. In addition, I took my father's three grandchildren to the Dover AFB in 2003 when they were 11/11/9 years old and although 911 presented some security challenges, after a few days of persistence, we were given a personal tour of the airplanes and other things on the Base and they welcomed us in an unforgettable way. My dad left behind a great-grandson, now age 6, and my prayer is that some day we get to visit so that he can be blessed by the most wonderful military in the world! read more

Frankly, I didn't know you could review an Air Force base on Yelp, nor do I see the use in doing so, but here we are. This was my home for seven years. I was never pulled over on base, because they don't have any areas where the speed limit is less than 25. Once at Keesler I was pulled over for doing 16 on a 15 mph street. Billeting was always good. I'm not a fan of being roomed in a separate building from the lodging office, but that second building has the fitness center so its a push. Once, the ice machine on my floor was broken with a note saying it would be fixed in a month. This base has all they standard amenities, such as a BX, Commisary, Military Clothing Issue, Florist, Dry Cleaners (they DO sew patches and stripes), Barber Shop, a gas station and Shoppette/Class 6. It sucks that their Commissary is closed on Mondays, because if you arrive on Monday to do Annual Tour for example, you want to grab a few staples like bread and peanut butter so you don't have to eat all your meals out. You can get it at the Shoppette, but like most convenience marts, they uncharge for convenience. The commissary isn't run by AAFES but the Shoppette is, so for a 2.25 oz bag of bacon jerky for you can expect to pay twice as much at the Shoppette. They used to have 1lb bags of Jack Links jerky for $15.99 which if you've ever priced out jerky, you'd know this is an astonishingly great deal; but now its like $20, which amounts to Amazon's prices. If you are in billeting (Eagle's Rest Inn), you can walk to the other Shoppette, and can get a good amount of snacks for not a lot of cash. Not super healthy, but come on, you're on vacation! Sorta. I once went into the Shoppette while filling my car at the attached gas station, and when I came out the pump hadn't shut off and created a huge spill. I've filled my car at countless gas stations in 17 years and never had this happen to me before. Memories! Be forewarned that the Burger King on base is closed on Sundays. So all the reservists who come once a month have one less place to spend their money (three, if you count the two nearby Chik-Fil-A's off-base). I have it on good authority that the food at the Golf Course is great, and if you are on night shift the best/only place to get food on base is the Bowling Alley. Like any military base, your experience there will be best defined not by the prices of Miller Lite at the Class 6, but by the people you meet and work with there. And you could definitely do a lot worse. read more

I have lived here for over 5 years now. I have lived in base housing since 1991. This is by far the best base housing I have lived in. If there's a problem with my house, maintenance is here within an hour. They are constantly upgrading amenities. After living here for 3 years I wanted my carpet downstairs ripped out and replaced with flooring, they did this for me within 3 weeks! I cannot say enough how much I love this housing office and their willingness to make sure I have the best possible experience while living here! read more

Not much happens here and the DFAC takes forever to make food which is ok at best and costs more than it used to. The BX is small with a boring selection of items and the on base restaurant options are limited to subway Burger King and Tim Hortons. The only nice place about here really is the commissary. Now off to commanders call. And just to piggyback on what I said earlier, let me say it all over again.... read more

Very nice facility. Well-stocked Commissary and Exchange. Big pool.

This place is ok but it needs some work. Great for the Air Force Base that's all I know.

Dover AFB check in was not easy since the lady I received didn't make it easy for me when I tried to explain my temporary ID issue. Besides her it was a great visit :) watch out for Donna! read more

The security on base is less than pleasing, Otherwise it is a nice place. The lawns in housing are well maintained. They accept private people to live in housing. The golf course makes a mean burger with varied toppings that you can select. There is a Starbucks on base in the same area where you can get some caffeine. The Shoppette has some special people who help you save some money on your shopping needs. read more

First time here seems nice enough I dislike that there are no food or snack vending machines.

Couldn't do 5 stars unfortunately but I will say the Commissary here is pretty good. Very clean and well stocked. The naggers are very nice as well and every time I come, the lines are very short and quick moving. The gas station is good too. Overall a very clean base. Love seeing the F-15s as well. They are a sight to see. The reason I couldn't give all stars is because the Airman's Attic there has a horrible lady who works there who checks people in. She treats everyone nicely but me differently and I'm not quite sure why. She gets an attitude with me whereas she has a friendly, sweeter tone with everyone else. She also looks at me with the side eye a lot. Not quite sure what I did to her. It I've always been pleasant with her. The difference between me and the others is that they are white and I am not, so that leads me to believe she is racist. Other wise, great Airman's Attic with lots of good stuff and furniture read more

Friendly people. Had station Always has several pumps down. Car wash is hit or miss and the air machine doesn't always work

I have had very good experience with Felton Kia from buying my Soul thru service department. Hope you guys keep up the good work.
