Dover Reviews
Rating 3.49 out of 5 166 reviews
Unfortunately, my experience in Dover, Delaware was not a positive one. While the city may have a rich history and a convenient location, it lacks in terms of entertainment and things to do. During my time there, I found myself feeling bored and uninterested in the activities available.
One of the main issues I had with Dover was the lack of variety in terms of attractions and events. The city seemed to have a limited selection of things to do, and many of the events I did come across seemed unappealing or underwhelming. Additionally, the nightlife in Dover was non-existent, making it difficult to find ways to pass the time in the evening.
Overall, I found Dover to be a very dull and boring place. While it may have its charms for some, for me, it was a disappointment and I would not recommend it as a destination for those looking for excitement or fun.

The sense of community here is like no other. Everyone knows everyone and it's quite a small town. I live on Dover Air Force Base, which takes up the majority of Dover. But, there isn't really much to do within the city itself. There are a few parks and a small "downtown" area with a few shops. The nearest beach is an hour away. Most stores don't sell any alcohol (including wine) because it's known to be a Quaker area. It's different, but nice if you value small communities. They have a great farmer's market with signature sauces and fresh produce which is great!
Very reserved and pleasant city. It has a friendly environment with accessible grocery stores, malls, restaurants and many more. The temperature is manageable once you dress appropriate, and the roads are great. Wish it had more attractions. It seem to be diverse enoughh.
