Families looking for restaurants near the Delaware Children’s Museum can keep the entire outing on the Wilmington Riverfront. The Riverfront Asian Cuisine & Bar is located at 936 Justison Street, along the same Riverfront corridor as the museum.
The combination is simple: explore the museum, enjoy some fresh air along the Riverwalk, then sit down for noodles, fried rice, appetizers, or curry. Before visiting, check the museum’s official visitor page for current hours, tickets, and notices.
Plan an easy family day on the Riverfront
Choose your meal time before you arrive, especially on a weekend. The Riverfront is open Saturday and Sunday from 11:30 AM to 9:30 PM without an afternoon break, giving families flexibility for lunch or an early dinner.
Tuesday through Friday, lunch runs from 11:30 AM to 3:00 PM. The kitchen then closes from 3:00 to 4:00 PM and reopens for dinner. Monday is closed.
Approachable Thai dishes for a family table
Every family eats differently, but noodles and fried rice are often useful starting points. Pad Thai combines rice noodles with tamarind sauce, egg, bean sprouts, scallions, and peanuts. Pad See Ew uses wide rice noodles with vegetables and a savory soy-based sauce.
Chef’s Fried Rice is another straightforward option. For sharing, add vegetable spring rolls, chicken satay, dumplings, or crispy tofu. Adults who want stronger flavor can add Drunken Noodle, curry, or Pad Kra Prow to the center of the table.
Thai dishes may include peanuts, soy, egg, shellfish, or other allergens. Tell the restaurant team about dietary needs so they can discuss current ingredients and preparation.
Leave time for a Riverwalk stroll
The Wilmington Riverfront includes a scenic walkway and a collection of attractions and public spaces. A short walk before the meal can help children transition from museum energy to the table; a walk afterward can extend the day without adding another scheduled activity.
The Greater Wilmington visitor guide is a useful place to see other Riverfront attractions when planning a full day.
Dine in or order ahead
If the family is ready to sit down, reserve a table at The Riverfront. If everyone is tired after the museum, place a pickup order through Toast instead.
