it has 2-3 Japanese/Italian gardens and it's amazing. fishes swim in small ponds. one small bridge is there and one fall is coming through mountains make it a picture book.
Update:
they have a small zoo. Vulture-Eagle-Owl-Bison-Bear-Bob cat is there properly caged. for us, it was raining, and after rain, it becomes more beautiful.
definitely recommended...
“beautiful Japanese/Italian garden. small ponds, gardens, bridges, mansion and zoo, greenery will mesmerize you”
--Went back this year (2017) after they put up the Christmas decorations in the house. The tour was more fun and unique with those touches added!
it's very beautiful, unlike typical parks. USP is its greenery. (check out my pics). it has 3-4 miles of a loop which will cover your whole park. Take the map at the visitor centre and try to stick with it and in this fashion, you ll complete whole tour.
The mansion is not that big but beautiful. it has one small garden for wedding purpose and it's beautiful. Sitting in the gazebo and overlook the mountains, quite q view.
Outside of seeing the mansion, which is beautiful, there are a series of gardens, wildlife, and walking paths to explore. You could spend the whole day there and not fully enjoy everything that Maymont has to offer!
If you want to experience Victorian era Richmond this is the place to do it.
Maymont is Maymont. It is a Richmond institution... Even though I think zoos should be banned, the scenery is great for a walk around on a cool day, and the events held there are usually pretty great. Just get rid of the caged animals and it would be perfect!
Maymont is a beautiful park like grounds great for a picnic. The animals on exhibit are few but seem well cared for. The house is fascinating to tour. All in all a great place to spend a day. Do remember to make a donation!
spreading over 100 acres... though I am not a big fan of a park and all, still. and glad I chose to come here. The main entrance is through Visitor centre [as I was lost and thought area nearby lake is Maymont park].
Beautiful grounds with tons and tons of open space. Perfect for a picnic or just relaxing. We really enjoyed the children's farm and hanging out with the cows and goats. There's tons to see, it's possible to get through it all if you spend the whole day, but totally worth multiple visits to take it all in. Great for out of town visitors and families!
