From historic Old Town to new urban areas, Gaithersburg has so much to offer its residents. Here are a few restaurants and attractions you don’t want to miss:
Vasilis Mediterranean Grill
If you like Mediterranean food, you must try Vasilis. Sit outside and dine street side or grab a seat in the colorful indoor dining room. The service is friendly, the ambiance is relaxing and the food promises to please.
Dogfish Head Ale House
This neighborhood brewpub serves up craft-brewed ales and tasty wood-grilled food in a casual and comfortable setting.
RIO at Washingtonian Center
This is the ultimate place to entertain yourself. You’ll find waterfront restaurants, an 18-screen movie theater, a sport and health club and shops galore. During the spring, summer and fall, you can rent paddleboats on the water. There’s also a great live concert series on Friday and Saturday evenings throughout the summer.
Water Park at Bohrer Park
When it’s hot outside, this is the best place to cool off. Kids love making waves in the children’s splash pool, but the main attraction is the 250-foot double water slide. Let the fun begin!
Seneca Creek State Park
When you want to explore the great outdoors, head to Seneca Creek State Park. The 6,300-acre space features hiking and biking trails, boat rentals, fishing areas, riding trails, picnic pavilions and more.
