Maymont is a quintessentially Richmond experience designed to delight, educate and inspire all ages. Open year-round, seven days a week, Maymont offers miles of paved walking paths across 100 acres of gently rolling riverside landscape, with a mature arboretum of native and exotic trees and landscaped Italian and Japanese-style gardens. Learn about native species on the Virginia Wildlife Trail or hand-feed friendly goats, sheep, and cows at Maymont Farm.

Take an audio tour of the well-preserved 33-room Maymont Mansion, built in 1893 and given to the city in 1925 with its Gilded Age furnishings intact. An acclaimed below-stairs exhibit, “In Domestic Service,” highlights the working conditions of domestic staff during the Jim Crow era. Or explore the James River ecosystem in The Robins Nature Center, with its 30,000 gallons of aquaria and habitats for river otters, snakes, turtles, and other aquatic species, plus a 34-ft indoor climbing sculpture.
