The park was beautiful... I had been once before and Marymount did not disappoint! The Black Bears were sunning themselves, the little Fox was regal as ever.. The Sheep, well, they go without saying - all different and cute as buttons. The Pigs, well, we couldnt pet them today but their coats were so different and stunning. One actually had sits that resembled a Leopard - very cool looking.Evidently the Chickens and Rooster thought it was a bit chilly as they all had jackets on. Yep, little tiny coats. Adorable!!My four Grandchildren were kept busy climbing rocks, exploring the Bamboo trails and climbing the climbable Trees.A GREAT way to spend hours. No admission but, if you can, donations accepted to keep this park beautiful and the animals fed.

I absolutely love this place! I’ve always heard amazing things and I finally went and instantlyFell in love. Great place to take the kids! This beautiful place is free they do ask for donation. There is a Children’s petting area where they have some farm animals to feed. I believe this area is for viewing only due to Covid now. They also have other animals around the park to see bobcat, bald eagles, bears. They have a paved walkway that is stroller friendly. The gardens are just beautiful. Our favorite is the stepping stones in the Japanese garden. They also have a glow event that you do have to get tickets for which is worth every cent. They have fire pits and food trucks available the event took about 30 mins for us to walk through.

So beautiful and amazing. The animals were amazing. It was a great way to be with nature and get exercise. Only down side of course alot of people thought it was okay not to wear a mask

I understand that due to Covid-19 all facilities were closed and animal enclosures as well.This is the first time Ive been to the park ever it still was very beautiful.I do want to make a comment though about handicap accessibility it could be a lot better.There are a lot of areas that other people could go in and I was blocked off because I was in a power wheelchair.I would highly recommend if anybody want to donate to the park that they upgrade handicap accessibility for all.But I do want to make a note it is very sad that is beautiful as that place is there are some people who like to destroy it.

Super spacious, beautiful grounds open to the public. Thank you, Dooley family and all those who volunteered and worked to make this space. Thoroughly enjoyed walking around, seeing the sites, visiting the animals, and reading informative plaques. Mansion closed during COVID-19.

Beautiful, especially during COVID. Even though it was 36 degrees out today, there was a nice large buck deer right outside the gate. It is natures little retreat in a family friendly city.

I was so looking forward to the Garden Glow after our first visit last year. This years Glow was very disappointing and not even close to last year. Event is well organized with food truck options..but Definitely not worth the ticket price this year. We were in and out in about 20 minutes. Hopefully better next year.

Beautiful grounds! Everything about this park is GORGEOUS. Social distancing is easy, gardens are gorgeous, park is easy to navigate and very clean! A lot of people were walking or running so it seems like a really safe park as well. There were quite a few people BUT not crowded at all. It was such a sight to see

It is very relaxing to walk around. We went during the Garden Glow and it rained but the event was very nice. There were food trucks, vendors, etc. It wasnt that long of a walk though but since it was raining we didnt get to enjoy it as much. We checked out the Robins ribbons nature center (only inside due to the rain) too and really enjoyed how interactive it is. If you love animals, flowers, plants, and being outdoors then this is the place for you!!!

Ive been to this park many times over the years. It has always been a delight to see and experience.Clean paths, and areas, great attractions.My whole family loves it.

Very nice place, very well maintained. Excellent place to visit for a casual picnic or a place to take pictures for special events, eg; weddings, graduations.

Gorgeous fall foliage this time of year! Weekday mornings are the least crowded.For parents with children, this is a gorgeous park, but be mentally prepared for hills.. We bring a stroller, but a wagon or carrier works great too! If you want to see the farm animals, start your adventure near the barn. They have a parking lot, too. The gates open at 10am

Be prepared to get your step count in this place is a gasser! Lots of walking that is so pack a lunch! Very Beatitful park with lots of exciting things to see!

Seriously, one.of my favorite places in the WORLD! As a student at VCU a long time ago, this was my refuge when I needed to just get away from school work and breathe. The atmosphere is very inviting and warm, the gardens are exquisitely done and the animal habitats are left as natural as possible for the animals. Added bonus is the petting zoo and museum, where you can see all kinds of cool native fish, reptiles and river otters! I think with Covid rules, a lot of stuff is closed, so make sure to check before you go. Its 100 acres of magic and I hope this place is around for a long time! Donate!! Its free but what you get is so amazing for free but they cant do this without your donations!

Have been here on several occasions the garden itself is beautiful. Entry is free though there is a suggested donation of 5$.This time the review is for Garden Glow event.The even was kind of ok. Smaller area was covered than I expected.The crowd turn around was good...we reached at 6:30 and had to be in queue for about 5-8 mins before we got in to get in ( basically for the ticket verification) and then again for 15mins in 2nd queue after the village ( for the village had food beverages other stalls).After that it was beautiful the entrance as well as initial work and small things that were made out of light. There are couple of nice place to take pictures but as it was mostly dark taking selfies and pictures of your family and friends was difficult you can get good photos of the place for sure.Parking was free but around 1mile from the park walking with kids could be little painful i recommend dropping kids and family at the gate and then going to park. If possible take separate ticket for person going to park the car, so others can get in and be in the village for him/her to join. Or may be find street parking near event.Overall decent experience but i expected more :-).

Beautiful grounds and gardens. I highly recommend an afternoon spent just wandering

The light festival was absolutely beautiful a wonderful place to take the family orna significant other for a date night, they had drinks, food and light up toys for the children.

Totally a place worth visiting! A very photogenic place with some beautiful scenery. It is a very large place so be sure to wear comfortable shoes and bring water. They do have vending machines but they are spaced out. Perfect for a picnic with huge beautiful trees for shade. I will be coming back!

Been visiting for years. Beautiful grounds, all types of animals and the Japanese gardens are just awesome fun for the whole family.

This is a great place to meet with family and friends, or to read a book or explore. The gardens are beautiful, and it is always great to see the wild life. This is like an oasis in the city. During this time of social distancing, we need parks like this that allow us to come together while staying apart. I am very thankful for the women and men who care for this facility.

I love Maymont. It is very family friendly. They have long walking trails, animal exhibits and beautiful gardens; which are perfect for taking pictures.

Absolutely Great . Fun for family, friends and more.. A jewell ..

Went here since i was a kid, recently started going to lose weight. Just as i remembered, stunning and beautiful as ever.

Very pleasant walk around the estate. Peaceful, relaxing, well kept. Obviously romantic. We really liked the stairs and the waterfall. The Italian and Japanese Gardens are beautiful. The mansion is very pretty, though covid kept us outside. We found the bear! Actually, someone had to point him out. The eagles looked bored, but my wife and I are not very interesting to look at.

Gorgeous 100 acre park with wide, meandering paths. Great place to explore. We were only there about 45 minutes and so didnt have time to go to the Japanese and Italian gardens. Two hours would have been about the perfect amount of time to explore.

Love this gift to the City of Richmond. The rescued animals and the special gardens are always a delight.

Donation based to get in. Free parking available close to entrance and bathrooms available in the park as well (limited to some due to covid I belief). Pretty huge park! Easy to get around, there’s signs with mile markers telling you which part of the park is next. Wish the waterfall had been active during my visit but the Japanese Garden was my favorite!

Beautiful park with great staff. Its a great place to go. Expecially during events or for morning strolls. Please donate if you can (:

A beautiful place to be. I greatly enjoyed the japanese gardens and the koi pond.It was a bit busy so please wear your mask!

Such beautiful sights, I cant wait to go back to see so much more that I didnt get too the first time.

Worth every mile to visit. Spend the entire day here exploring! Adopt an animal to keep it healthy! They work so hard to keep it running well. Be around forever ️

This years Garden Glow was very disappointing. After walking through the event last year, I had much higher expectations. It took our party longer to walk from the car than it did to walk through the Italian Gardens. We do plan on returning for the event next year and to take some of the other tours that are offered.

Very nice place to take kids and family.

This is one of my favorite parks to visit. All of the gardens are stunning. My favorite two spots are the Italian garden and the Japanese garden. It is also a great workout walking around the park and a wonderful place to have a picnic or sketch.

One of Richmonds most treasured parks...beautiful place...one of my favorites...frequented by my family since 89....

Fantastic park with something for everybody. The walking trails are kid-friendly, especially with stops to view black bears, bobcats, and other animals along the way. The historic house is gorgeous and one-of-a-kind, and the gardens are absolutely beautiful. Please remember, though, that no pets are allowed!

Beautiful place to bring family and hangout with friends. Numerous people come to take pictures and have ceromonies. Awesome scenery and historic place for Richmond, VA.

Free 100 acre gardens. Plenty of room to spread out but not everyone is wearing masks or distancing around popular areas.

Beautiful place to walk around & nice to tour the Mansion. One of my favorite places in Richmond!

You can spend all day in this park. Come back again and again because you will not have time to see everything. Good place to spend time with your family, by yourself or with the loved one.

Always been a favorite park. Marymount is so well kept, beautiful lawn and walkways. The gardens still producing well into October. The kids esp love the Italian gardens and petting zoo

Beautiful park near downtown Richmond Virginia. Large and hilly, great place to take young children. They will sleep well after trekking around the hills. There is also a small aquarium with otters, they are fun to watch.

Well maintained, beautiful landscape, not over crowded, family friendly and good parking. Theres buffalos too!

Beautiful grounds! Everything about this park is GORGEOUS. Social distancing is easy, gardens are gorgeous, park is easy to navigate and very clean!

Garden Glow at Maymont was great fun!

Gorgeous landscaping. Cool place to take photos.

What a cute park! The park is big and pretty spread out. We saw a bear, and cows. Many beautiful flowers. Plenty of shades and good for walking in a not so hot day. Italian garden and Japanese garden are pretty. Theres a long walking way pass the bear to the Japanese garden if you come with a stroller or a wheelchair.

My favorite place to take my daughter. I grew up visiting Maymont Park and now my daughter enjoys it as well. Great park for ALL ages. As always it was extremely well managed and cared for. It is a $5.00 donation recommended park. In my opinion Maymont Park receives an A+

Beautiful place to go for a walk or picnic. I wasnt able to find the mansion, the signs could be better, but the views were beautiful.

Love this place but havent seen the Bear all summer either he isnt there anymore or they have him put up Ive been maybe 8 times since May 2020 and no Bear.

Went around 5pm on Labor Day. There were plenty of people enjoying the park and everyone seemed to be having a fairly enjoyable time! I’ve gone to this park several times as a Richmond native and I can easily say this is a must-see attraction for anyone new to RVA.My only complaint- the only animals we really got to see were horses and cows. The barn with all the goats and (I think) rabbits was closed and it seemed like all the other animals were put away? I’m not sure if the park locks away the animals in cages or dens or if these animals in particular were just tired but it was a little disappointing.Nonetheless, you should still visit Maymont and enjoy your time! Great place to take the family, friends, or SO’s!

I came to the Maymont after spending a month in self isolation. The grounds are free to wander through but you can leave a donation. It’s beautiful and spacious and a great option for a romantic stroll or casual walk with friends. You can relax on the grass under the trees or go see the animals (I was very surprised when I saw a bison!)

Maymont never fails to impress out-of-towners of literally every age and demographic. Even in Richmonds off-season it is beautiful.

Park was great, places to put down a blanket an let our son crawl around. Petting park food vending machine were broken. But animals were happy to see the kids

A beautiful park that adds green space to the city.

Amazing garden which brought me peace in my hectic day. Unfortunately the water was turned off but that just means I must visit again.

Super interesting park, a great place to take a walk and share moments white people you love

Beautiful to walk around. In the words of the maymont- stay 1.5 sheep away from me. Walking through the gardens was beautiful.

Great place to spend a few hours. Beautiful antiques that are 95% from the original owners. The house is about 130 years old and it is a very unique place to visit. There are outdoor gardens, animals, and a petting zoo for children. If you like history, check it out. $5 recommended donation for the park and the tour but they are both good.

Luxurious Mansion from 19th Century. Good place for people who wants to know local history of the country

Maymont Park has always been one of my favorite places to go in Richmond. I have memories visiting as a small child. And love taking my child there as well. The grounds are always well-maintained. The animal exhibits are wonderful but you cant always see the Bears. Great place to spend the entire day picnic and enjoy the sunshine. Ive always personally loved the Japanese garden the best and the waterfall there is beautiful. If you want to just spend a day with the family this is one of the best places to visit.

Great views. Family Friendly .Great place to meditate.

Loved everything about the park. The grounds the ponds and the animals. Excellent day trip.

Maymont is a treasure in Richmond. There are so many things to see and do. The Farm Barn is wonderful for children. You can stroll down to see the fox, bobcat, various raptors native to VA, and the black bear. The Japanese gardens are beautiful and include a waterfall. The Italian garden near the manor house is also beautiful. The nature center is newly renovated and has fish, frogs, snakes, eels and otters.

Ive been to Maymont Park just about every year for about 10 years straight now and while I live in Virginia, I think that will continue. The scenery is just beautiful and it is just fun to walk and take in the smells. Maymont Park seems to be a pretty popular spot for weddings and one lap through the park or through the Italian Garden and you will quickly see why. There is a lot for adults to enjoy and even more for kids. Take a drive, explore the grounds, you will not be disappointed.

Great walking or jogging place. And it’s potentially free. Payments optional but appreciated.

Beautiful gardens, loved this place, its full of history, the mansion was closed due to Covid-19 but still enjoyed to walk around and visit the gardens, its worth it!

It is a good way to get out with the kids

Love this place.. nice day trip especially during fall colors

Absolutely must see, and it is free (though you can donate)! Fantastic place, we love to stop there on our way to/from D.C.

A lovely place to visit and to have a picnic. The park is large, and very well kept. The gardens are especially beautiful. My favorite spot is the Italian Garden. If you need a nice and relaxing place to visit, this is definitely the place to go in Richmond.

Always my favorite park and there is always plenty of space away from people which is my favorite thing about it aside from the scenic nature

Garden glow was a very nice a relaxed evening out. Food trucks were available, philly cheesestake was great.

Our grandchildren loved the barn and surrounding area. The enjoyed seeing all of the animals and being able to feed some of the animals. There was a large enough variety of animals to keep the attention of a 2 and 4 year old.

The property and Mansion are beautiful. The staff are very knowledgeable and friendly. It is great place to bring children as there are animals they can feed and pet. Also, the grounds are perfect for having a picnic and strolling. If one wants to tour the upper floors of the mansion a $5 donation is suggested. I feel my $5 donation was worth it, and I will be definitely be returning for more visits.

Beautiful public park on a former estate. Gorgeous gardens, lovely rolling hills and pastures, unlimited spots for picnics under a tree, great for kids to have open space to run, roll down hill, walk through bamboo forests, etc. Waterfalls, bridges, specimen trees, rescue animal sanctuary that has a bobcat, a wild, a bear and lots we didnt see. A must see if youre in Richmond on a nice day. In the Spring day we were there the air was filled with the aroma of magnolia & roses.

Wonderful outdoor setting. Grounds were beautiful and during the Covid pandemic a great place to go and be able to remain socially distanced.

Be sure to bring a backpack filled with water because you are gonna need it! The grounds are absolutely stunning. The animal farm, walkways, and nature exhibit are a must see. They have a fantastic aquarium with some of the most beautiful sturgeons I have ever seen! The hike around the area is not for the faint of heart. Im telling you now that this is a huge estate. I recommend going on the tour of the mansion, the tour is a bit slow, but the decor is fantastic. If you are an artist like me then you will appreciate the furniture throughout the home. The Japanese garden is gorgeous. Was hard to get some good shots as the water had dried up under the first large bridge. Lots of hills so I wouldnt suggest coming here with a wheelchair to tour the entire grounds. I believe they have golf carts that will take people on the tour of the entire estate but we opted put of that and just walked the entire time. Definitely donate to keep this place up and running!

SO worth a visit...free, but even at the suggested $5 donation it is great. Beautiful interior, guided tour of upstairs but go register early, as they only take 12 people in a group. Tours every 1/2 hour, 12:00-5:00. Downstairs is self guided about the domestic help. Visit the grounds too, Japanese Garden, Italian Garden, and animal enclosures.

Great Park, family friendly!

The place never disappoints! We visit this place every time we are in the Richmond area. Pack a picnic! Wear sneakers! Bring a camera! My kids enjoyed the Japanese Gardens the most.

We love Maymont! The nature center is great. The cost is $4 per adult and $3 per child 4 and over. Its a small area but has lots of turtles, an otter, frogs, snakes, fish etc. They are revamping many of the exhibits but just for the cute otter alone I thought it was worth it. They have maps of the park there and have lots of information in general. Check it out!!

What an incredible park! Beautiful landscapes and nature, awesome animal exhibits, great trails and picnic areas - truly a perfect place to spend a day with family of any age.

One of the most beautiful parks that I have visited. Plenty of shade trees around to find a nice place to sit. You can have social distancing with no problems. Give it a try to experience a nice day in the park.

This is one of the most beautiful parks in RVA!! Lots of walking areas, little zoo, farm. Highly recommended

The best park in Richmond, VA. Great place to spend a few hours. The mansion itself was very impressive. Beautiful antiques that are 95% from the original owners.

Absolutely beautiful out here! I had a scheduled photo shoot which turned out amazing!

Great place to relax as you stroll through gardens and paths. Also, its free.

Great place for walking. The gardens are beautiful. Feeding the animals is always fun!

Beautiful especially decorated for Christmas is you dont even more special. Love to go back on the screen and see the gardens in Bloom. Went for the tea and the tour, was definitely well worth it.

This such a great place to take your family. The donation is very little for what you get to do and see. Its a great walk and you can see lots of animals for your kids to experience. We really enjoyed it.

That light thing could been better for 14 a person.

Great park, awesome place to walk and hang out with friends. The staff is also very helpful, shout out to hugo (I believe that was his name) for being helpful.

Was beautiful place to visit and have a picnic with the family. Cant wait to go back.

This place was absolutely amazing!!! Gorgeous views, beautiful buildings, spectacular gardens! I wish the buildings would be open on federal holidays, but it just means I have to go back to see the rest! Worth the almost two hour drive!!! LOVED IT!!!

Disappointed that the manor was closed but I understand why given the current climate. Beautiful estate otherwise. I highly recommend it to those that like historical sites

Glow maymont!Very nice super relaxing

Tranquille and beautiful park but not so stroller friendly

Maymont Glow is a very nice seasonal attraction, but a bit over priced for what it is. Would have been nice if they provided maps & background music would have enhanced the mood while walking thru the park exhibit.

Maymont is always a fun time! Take my son here regularly. I live about 1.5 miles away, so we often walk from the apartment. Looking forward to seeing the revamped nature center!
