This place is beautiful, but prepare for a good amount of walking. Bring snacks and drinks for yourself and the kids because you either turn around or have to complete the whole loop.

We were able to stop for a little bit. It is a very large park and had some beautiful gardens. The Japanese gardens were very nice and the pond was gorgeous. The mansion was closed due to COVID. Will come back in the future.

The gardens and walking paths of Maymont are an enjoyable experience not to be missed when visiting Richmond VA. We were happy to donate the suggested amount of $5 each to this well kept beautiful property. We look forward to returning for a tour of the house when that reopens.

This place was surprisingly awesome. When we got here there were people all over having picnics and playing games and just relaxing. The property is huge and has a lot of different things to see including a Japanese garden, a small waterfall, and some animals. They sell things like slushees and they have vending machines.

What a great park! I was only in Richmond for the day, and being that we’re still in the midst of a global pandemic, I wanted to do something outdoors. I’m so glad I chose Maymont! The park is huge, so you could spend several hours there. Lots of people had little picnics set up in the grass (great idea!) and it was very easy to remain socially distant. I was impressed by how well kept the grounds are and just how much there is to see. I was only planning on being there for an hour or less because I needed to get on the road, but I couldn’t help but explore the whole park and ended up staying for a little over 2 hours. In that time I was able to walk around the entire place and stop a couple of times to rest. If you’re going on a hot day (it was a balmy 95 when I was there) be sure to bring some water. The fountains were turned off for safety, and the vending machines were spread out. I was very hot and thirsty when I left. I highly recommend checking out Maymont while in Richmond. Can’t believe it’s free!…
