    After doing a "gaslighting" night tour which was interesting and informative we were instructed to…read moreexit by the front door. The long stairway was not well lit. I was not able to clearly see the last few steps and feel down them landing on my hands and knees. I suffered severe abrasions to my knees and hands. Beware if your tour is at night. The staff provided basic first aid. when I contacted the management they referred me to the board president. It took over a week for him to contact me back.

    The Latimer House is located in Downtown Wilmington. Guided tours run on the hour and if you arrive…read moreearlier you can sit in the courtyard. This was my favorite of the three houses. It shows how the upper class lived with opulence. The house is not handicap accessible as the it was built in the 1852. The house was built by Zebulon Latimer and has three stories with a basement although not all areas are on the tour. The house is symmetrical as there are the same number of windows on each side. Three generations of the Latimers lived in the house before it became a museum and where the Cape Fear Historical Society is based. The iron water fountain in the garden used to be in a park in the middle of the road. The house has 14 rooms around 600 original items such as furniture, dishes, sculptures in fantastic shape as they had never been taken out of the shipping containers. The family tree was unique on the wall. You can even see where the original carpet was worn away. The house has a Victorian style decor with the marble fireplace, velvet curtains, and the intricate chandeliers. The walls in the foyer are painted to look like wallpaper. I enjoyed seeing all the photos. My docent was knowledgeable and friendly. She provided the stories of who lived in the house with empathy as some of the stories are sad. I highly recommend taking a tour of the Latimer House.

    Greenlands farm is between Bolivia and Southport on Midway road about 10 minutes from St. James. We…read morecame here with Nana to visit the petting farm for our one year old - which was just her speed, and there were about a half dozen others kindergarten aged kids in the petting area and taking pony rides. The real joy was the country store that Heather Burke has put together. Everything is so tastefully assembled, homemade, and delicious. They have home brewed beer (and lots of craft selections) fresh baked cakes and pastries (including gluten free), sandwiches, salads, ice cream and a super quaint gift store. We sat in the luncheon area inside, but there were picnic tables outside as well. We missed the bluegrass festival but if we can we'd love to make the Octoberfest. I highly recommend this place for those looking for a farm to table meal, good beer, or tasteful country store excursion.

    We love Greenlands Farm!! Great sandwiches - beautiful property- wonderful homemade…read moresoaps/lotions/deodorant. You name it they have it! They even have a great beer selection. We are fellow small business owners and love coming here to support them! Very nice and knowledgeable family. They are very passionate about what they do. This is a great place to come if you want something "different." Great place for kids as well. We have a mini farm and coming here gives us both inspiration! Keep it up guys we love you!

    The holiday themed A Colonial Apparition tour along the Cape Fear River went well beyond my…read moreexpectations despite the weather. Honestly, the dreary day may have made the cruise even more suited for the story Hunter Ingram, Burgin Wright House & Gardens Assistant Museum Director, shared with us on our voyage along the riverfront. The cruise was cozy with holiday theme beverages available for purchase, and the history lesson and the story written by James Sprunt in the 1800s told by Ingram was well worth the ticket price. I absolutely have to do more of the historic tours offered by Wilmington Water Tours. A couple of hours on this river cruise is definitely time well spent.

    Enjoyed the scenery. WOW! Perfect weather/time of year. Good length of time…read more All four of us enjoyed the cruise and were glad we had included it in our weekend plans. Late April must be the "sweet spot" for this cruise. The weather was perfect! The water was calm and we appreciated that we saw both daylight and dark during the cruise. The number of folks on the boat was good - we never felt too crowded; do not allow any more, though. The biggest thing that dinged the stars to four - and, I really was unhappy about this - was the volume of the singer. She was very good; she is talented and her selections were appropriate but TOO, TOO LOUD. The four of us could not hear each other talk (or, yell). It is a small boat; any amp at all is too much. I did (discreetly) mention something to one of our tour guides about asking her to decrease her volume. It was completely IGNORED. We booked this cruise because there was to be "entertainment" perhaps that was a poor choice. Value/fee was good - should not be any more.
