Maymont Farm

“I love this place. It's free to just visit the farm, park and Japanese garden but you can donate at either of the parking lot entrances. You can buy food pellets to feed the animals at the farm. If you don't mind spending a little, check out the the house tour. It's now open after an extensive renovation but you'll need to pay for the house tours online. There's also a nature center that charges for entry at the door. It's well worth it for either of the paid tours.”

“Lots of things to do, staff is friendly. The aquarium needs a little tlc but overall, for free entry this is a good place to enjoy an afternoon. The mansion is under construction currently, but it looks very nice from the outside as well. There is a children’s farm to feed animals, animals are friendly. Can be a lot of walking, there are water refill stations and areas for ac through your exploration!”

“I was visiting from New York & this is such a cute little farm with a beautiful view! Loved walking around some of the trails & the trees here are gorgeous. Would definitely come back in the future. This was such a great walking workout. There’s no fee for admission but you can buy food for the animals with a free quarters at a dispenser. They have a hand washing station as well which is nice.”

“Growing up in Richmond, I have many vivid memories of visiting the Maymont animals as a kid and now I enjoy taking my own children here when we are visiting. It can be very hot in the summer so bring lots of water and wipes to clean hands after petting and feeding the animals. If you have young kids, this is a great spot to explore. You can do a little walking or a lot.”

“beautiful landscape. peaceful. farm animal and wild animals in a peting zoo style. safe. paved trails great for stollers and wheelchair but hills may be too steep at times for wheelchairs. bathrooms are clean. drinking water fountains available. benches and shade along walking paths. scenic picture spots. A must visit!”

“This place was really cool, I was visiting from our of town and for our to be free they had all kinds of animals! I didn't even make it all the way through. Really beautiful and cool place!”

“Amazing place for children. Spectacular gardens and plenty of animals for little ones to pet and see. Much more expensive than I expected.”

“Excellent place for a leisurely stroll with nice gardens and a few rescue animals in enclosures to see.”
