    Great park! Not too busy, easy enough taking my two boys under 3. There's also bathrooms on site

    This is a great clean park. My son is 14 months and this is a great playground for him.

    Abbey Nature Preserve - Parking lot

    This is a square space of Carolinian forest which is not far from the beach, but offers a different…read morevibe and plenty of tree cover. Some bridges cross over small waterways and give the opportunity to gaze over some pretty still water. Relative to the more coastal areas, the obvious advantage here is shade, and the disadvantage would be the potential for a lot of bugs in the warmer weather. There are several trails which circuit navigate the place, and it joins a historic site. It does have its own parking lot and there is no charge to get in.

    Visited the new entrance today on Wednesday morning around 9 AM. Not many people were there, so…read morethere was still quite a few parking spots. there was one porta potty. It was a nice short hike. There was a sign at the parking lot of where the trail started, but not totally clear. You just head along the wooden rope fence on a grass dirt area until you'll get to a gate (about .1 miles), where you'll have an option of going either left or right. I decided to make a right and eventually came to another intersection where I I made a left and it was a loop trail, around .75 total miles starting from the gate. There are trail marker wooden sticks, but no trail names. No map either on site. There are garbage cans throughout the trail, dog poop bags at the start, and a couple of benches on the loop trail. It was an overcast day, so hard to tell if it was shady. If I had to guess, it would be semi shady because of all the trees. It was fairly flat, but lots of tree roots. Still manageable with my jogging stroller.

    Wilmington NC is the native habitat of the Venus flytrap (Dionaea muscipula). This remarkable…read morecarnivorous plant occurs naturally only within a roughly 70 to 90 mile radius, making it one of the most geographically restricted plant species in the world. It thrives in the subtropical wetlands and nutrient poor pine savannas of coastal North Carolina and parts of northeastern South Carolina. The Stanley Rehder Carnivorous Plant Garden is a completely handicapped accessible and free spot to take a nice walk. The gravel parking lot is the entrance to a paved walkway that leads to the boardwalk and an overlook. Along the way, captions and signs point out the history of the plants and include photographs so you know what you're looking for. Thankfully, the star of the show was in one bunker. We saw a cluster of Venus flytrap plants. Some of them had closed. There are warning signs not to touch them because they will close and starve. I didn't touch them. Remarkable and enjoyable and yes, unique. [Review 1269 of 2025 - 4428 in North Carolina - 24821 overall]

It's small and hidden, tucked away by a school on residential side streets but it is so worth the trip in my opinion. The top two coolest facts about North Carolina are: 1. The Venus Fly Trap is native to only this state 2. We have a pirate. I enjoy the wild ponies and more but these are unique to NC. I was the only one at this garden. It was a breathtaking view and walk, if you are looking for something other than the beach and the boardwalk for a few hours. Also, this is a free activity!

The grounds are beautiful, peaceful, and rich with history. Even though only some of the flowers are blooming right now, there is still plenty to enjoy--towering live oaks draped in Spanish moss, winding paths, ponds, sculptures, and the feeling that you've stepped back into old Wilmington. The famous Airlie Oak and the historic chapel make it feel more like wandering through a living postcard than just another garden. Airlie dates back to the late 1800s and was created by Sarah and Pembroke Jones before becoming a public garden preserved for future generations. The gardens are well kept, easy to stroll through, and especially lovely this time of year with the Azalea Festival season beginning. It is the kind of place where you slow down, take a deep breath, and remember that nature did landscaping long before homeowners associations started issuing warning letters. The one drawback--and for us older folks it is a real one--is that there simply are not enough restrooms spread throughout the grounds. With so much walking involved, having a few more bathrooms around the gardens would make a tremendous difference and would make the experience more comfortable for seniors and families. Overall: 4 out of 5 stars. A beautiful, historic Wilmington treasure that is absolutely worth visiting, especially in the spring--just be sure to make a restroom stop before setting out on the trails.

We called a friend to come tow us to the nearest boat ramp which was Hampstead Marina. During this time we called our son to get the truck and trailer to meet us down that way since it was closer. It would have taken two hours or more to get towed back to Wrightsville. My husband kindly asked the man running the Marina if our son could back the trailer in to load our broken boat that would not even crank. He asked if we had a "sticker". My husband said no but we are stranded can you please help. The man in charge said he could not help us. It's really unfortunate that there are money hungry, rude and nasty people out there that would not help during a time in need, especially when he propped up against the railing and watched it get pulled in and then watched us leave. I will NEVER recommended this place to anyone I know. I hope the all you people please think twice before you give this asshole any of your money.
