The mansion was closed when we visited, and I'd still love to see inside, so we'll have to go back. The grounds are pleasant to stroll around. Be warned that the signage to get here is not very good, so you'll feel like you're never going to make it, but it's worth the trip.

Beautiful peaceful place to relax and the kids enjoyed all the animals my all time favorite place growing up and to datw

I've enjoyed Maymont for many years. Though not located in downtown, I've always considered it Richmond's Central Park. It's very well maintained, and simply beautiful. There's fun for all ages, with the Maymont mansion tour, beautiful gardens, and a animal exhibits. What I've always liked best though, is just taking a picnic basket and blanket and spending a few hours... More 

I love this place. They just finished a HUGE remodel and it is fab. I went to the grand opening and what fun it was. They have such a nice facility and such a wonderful layout! Great for everyone. Lots of walking so be ready but the animals and gardens are so worth it!

This is a historic mansion with an interesting back story.....you will want to visit the mansion itself for the details. The gardens and rolling hills are great for an afternoon and I have attended weddings there. They do have a pavilion and you can arrange for catering. Its a nice place for a family afternoon.

Maymont is one of my favorite things to do when the weather is nice. It's fun to see the animals and explore the beautiful gardens. It's a great place for amateur photography. The kids and adults will love it.

Wonderful historic house/estate with beautiful grounds and landscaping. Ideal for a visit, picnic on the grounds and just walking the extensive property.
