    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!

    Wilmington Water Tours offers cruises on the Cape Fear River. You can either buy your ticket ahead…read moreof time on the website or at the ticket office. Only the Eagle Island Cruise was being offered when I was in town but a sunset tour is available during part of the year. On even hours, the cruise goes north and you get to see more nature and scenery. This is what I did for my first tour with the company. We did look for alligators but did not spot any. I enjoyed the commentary along the way and the peaceful ride. I enjoyed the tour so much, I returned the next afternoon to take the south tour on odd hours. This one goes under the Cape Fear Memorial Bridge and you see more industrial things with the container ships and cranes. We did see the wood chipping in progress so that was interesting. Then seeing all the international cargo ships loading and unloading containers. Again, there was commentary along the way. The boat was clean and has a large restroom and sells drinks and snacks. I'd take more tours with the company as both were enjoyable and I learned about the area.

    The captains were ABSOLUTELY incredible! They were conversational, knowledgeable, funny and showed…read moreus an amazing time. However, the bar service was a complete vibe killer. It took 30+ minutes to get anything from the bar. Our whole group didn't get a drink or anything until the boat ride was basically over. They really need to ether hire a new bartender or get her support. To make it worse after we waited 30+ mins we finally got to front and she said "I'm going to go take sunset pictures" it will be one minute. That really made us feel completely disregarded.
