One of my favorite places in Richmond. It's free and so many places to visit. I normally like to come here to read or for a nice picnic .

Beautiful gardens and lots of different animals! Definitely a great place to take the kids on the weekend when the weather is nice!

Date Night is... a stroll through this gorgeous, manicured estate. It has some of the most stunning gardens ever (the Japanese Garden is not to be missed).

Did you know? Maymont was built by millionaires James and Sallie Dooley in 1893, during the “Gilded Age” of the late 1880’s and early 1900’s. Today, the grounds and buildings remain largely unchanged. Read more

Everything, such a Beautiful place. Good place to spend the day as a family.

Beautiful place to go, and take your significant other. Kids also! There's a tree by the bathrooms that's nice for climbing.

Don't forget to check out the Japanese Garden , waterfall , and zoo . They have bison , bears , and an eagle.

A wonderful private park . Great for walking around or a photo shoot.

Bring your walking shoes , the place is huge!

The bear exhibit is very hit-or-miss...the big guy is quite elusive

The Japanese Gardens is where it's at, though be forewarned, in winter the waterfall is a water#fail. (I apologize for this awful joke.)

Best during the spring and early fall, before it gets too cold. Always a favorite place to visit when I come back to town

Best place to relax on a beautiful day -- but you won't be the only person with that same idea

Beautiful place with expansive grounds/park. Bring your walking shoes ????

Sprawling acreage dedicated to the wildlife of Virginia. Easy to get lost, but around the corner, could be the coveted Japanese Gardens .

One of my favorite thinking spots in RVA is at Maymont by the waterfall . I can release all my stress there.

An amazing experience! Must go if in Richmond !!

It's so beautiful! I recommend the Japanese garden . Very peaceful .

Lots of trails , beautiful farm , animal exhibits .

RVAs hidden gem . Great place to spend with family or just looking to disconnect.

Beautiful scenery ....peaceful surroundings . A Sunday morning treat.

There's lots of random paths through out the place that are fun to explore and can lead to places where you can actually get some peace

Gorgeous scenery , definitely stop by the waterfall

Bring a picnic basket and a blanket for a lovely & relaxing afternoon! In spring, bring a kite.

Grab your basket and blanket. Maymont is Richmond's best picnic spot!
