Reviews of Bombay Hook National Wildlife Refuge Visitor Center
"This National Wildlife Refuge should be on everyone’s Bucket List! It’s a driving tour on a 12- mile wildlife road with places to pull over to enjoy the scenery and wildlife. Located on a tidal salt marsh that fluctuates with the tides. It’s a major birding destination so be sure to bring your binoculars and camera gear! Bombay Hook has numerous walking trails as well as observation towers to climb. After my first visit here, I was obsessed with learning about the birds of Delaware. I purchased a used Nikon off of eBay just so I could begin to get decent shots. I’m now four years into this retirement “hobby” and simply can’t get enough. I like to visit Bombay Hook numerous times throughout the year as the ebb and flow of different migratory patterns dictates. Summers are the only time I stay away became the biting flies are dreadful."
"It’s bird watchers paradise! Make sure you wear the correct shoes in the fall after days of rain when walking the trails. Beautiful place when get the right view and trail. Tons of birds and a fox that’s use to humans to look at and picture. Visitor center was decent too."
"Went here on the drive it's right after the boardwalk trail it's beautiful out here so much to see they have a place to park and a bench just sitting her listening to the sounds around it's amazing can't wait to come back found a new friend along the way"
"We visited at 8AM on Sunday morning before the visitor center was open. The bathrooms were already opened and sits adjacent to the visitor center. There are maps and books of the park and other local parks. There is also a box to put your payment in right outside visitor center. There were 2 other cars in the rather large parking lot with us. The parking lot at the visitor center also had electric charging stations, but they were closed and had bags over them. I'm not sure if this was because they were out of order or if they were brand new and not fully set up yet. There are also large picnic table areas here adjacent to the parking lot. I'm thinking they are for large events or maybe field trips for schools? There is a 12 mile loop through the park. The majority of it is 1-way. There are stops along the way for trails and hikes. We did 4 of them. I took pictures of trail heads. We started with Raymond's pool trail. There was parking for 6ish cars. It's a short hike with an observation tower at the end. I have pictures included. The second was the boardwalk trail. It was very nice. Some of the pathing is confusing and overgrown, but we figured it out. Very interesting views. I think it's a tidal marsh, and we were there at low tide. Lots of crabs and crab holes. We were late and skipped parsons point trail but I did get a picture of the trail head. We did do bear swamp trail. This parking lot was nice because there is a bathroom here. We did notice all the trail heads had bike racks too but not sure if biking was allowed in the park in general. They were all very overgrown. This trail had an observation tower at the end as well as a floating dock. We then went back to the visitor center as they were open by this time. There were a number of activities for the kids to do including some games. They have a few poster board exhibits in the entry atrium area as well as their main info desk and gift shop. They have quite a selection of merch at the gift shop. I took a few pictures. They also offer their Blue Goose Cancelation stamp at the main desk. We didn't see any blue goose books for sale here, but they had a few a primehook national wildlife refugee not too far south. There is also a large meeting room attached that has real large exhibits and its setup like a theater to watch their video, which is about 10 mins long. It's played on demand. We also noticed at least 5 spotted lantern flies around the main visitor center on the windows. We killed every single one. Haha. Another neat fact is that the main desk offers binoculars to borrow while at the refuge and identification guides. We saw visitors in front of us asking for them. Overall, the refugee was great, and we would certainly stop by again if we were driving through Delaware. About an hour north of rohobeth and Cape Henlopen State Park."
"The Visitor Center has friendly, knowledgeable volunteers and rangers onsite. They helped us pick which trails we wanted to hike and gave us a detailed map. They also have lists of birds and creatures sighted recently at the refuge. Their gift shop has a nice assortment of nature-themed gifts, including local, environmentally friendly coffee. This is where you pay the daily entrance fee. It's also only 1 of 2 places we saw with full restrooms at the refuge."
