Maymont Japanese Garden is always beautiful this time of year. My family and I have been coming here for years. Very peaceful and quiet. Just you and mother nature!!
Its a fantastic place to visit, a must see in Richmond! You can spend hours in the gardens, theres an animal park that kids would love. If you have the time take a tour of the house too, its pretty neat. I visited in February, and will definitely be going back in the spring when it is in full bloom!
Garden Glow was a less then spectacular event compared to previous years but on par with 2020. Beautiful park and venue on majestic estate otherwise!
Great Place .Natures Paradise .
Stunning gardens and the koi are enormous
I spend hours at Maymont. Its such a relaxing place to walk around, read, nap, animal watch and photograph. There are plenty of walking paths, a nature exhibit, animal habitats, a petting zoo and childrens farm, and the landscaping of the Italian rose and Japanese gardens is stunning.
This is one of my favorite gardens. You can find koi ponds, bamboo trees, and beautiful areas to sit in the shade or the sun. One wonderful thing to do on a beautiful day is have a picnic or go on a walk. This is one of my favorite gardens in one of my favorite parks.
What a cool outdoor local thing to do. Kids 11 and 14 liked it too. Felt socially distanced and safe.
Maymont is beautiful. Tons of space to have fun with your family beautiful gardens to walk through Amazing buildings and fountains. Theres even a beautiful waterfall down to a gorgeous Japanese koi pond
We love everything about Maymont but the photos opportunities here are just amazing!
Beautiful grounds. Plenty of lovely photo ops. A wonderful nature trail down to the gardens.
Maymont is like a magical peak into the past. Or a gateway to a Jane Austen novel. Heathcliff is practically brooding from the porch of the mansion.
Beautiful place! Butterflies everywhere. Few folks. Bring a blanket and have a quiet nap or self reflection.
My dad proposed to my mom here 28 years ago, I love coming here when I can, the garden and whole area is very well maintained and the animal exhibits are fun to see
What a beautiful place it is...Must visit. A picture perfect place, full of greenery, history and lovely lawn...Perfect for dayout, Photoshoot and Picnic...
Got married there beautiful park still after 30 years..
Maymont was wonderful in general but it is a great place to be outdoors during the summer social distancing is easy there!
It amazing. The view, Their wildlifeIf you need an amazing wedding venue then I suggest you should go here
Lovely day! colors just starting.
Maymont is amazing, you wont be disappointed. Just make sure you packed your walking shoes. Bring quarters if you want to feed the animals.
If youve never been to Maymont add it to your Richmond list. The park is great for photography, walking with kids or friends, and getting some fresh air.
Love this park specially the lighting and they maintain it very well..
The park is always beautiful but the Garden Glow is for 5 year olds.
One of the best estates i have ever been. Its a must place to visit in the Richmond city. Good weather check is much suggested. Cloudy or after rainy hours are the best
Always so well maintained and tranquil.During these times its a wonderful break
Very calming. Great place to relax and de-stress.
The waterfall stops during cold/winter. Still very beautiful to visit.
Wish there was more sanitary stations but it was beautiful wish I could have stayed longer :)
Obsessed with the Japanese garden! This is my favorite Sunday spot to go to to reset for the week. Walking across the pond with the koi swimming by is so peaceful. There are different gardens on the location and a preservation zoo. There is a suggested 10 donation upon entry and they have a few different entrances that take you into different sections of the grounds.
The fish are beautiful and huge . There is 1 spot thats closed cause they need to clean it or somethi g but its amazing there . Only spot i made it to
Best part of the park, hands down. Shame they turn the waterfall off during the winter!
Walking there on a regular basis, every season you can expect new scenery, the flowers are beautiful, its peaceful and relaxing. Be at peace ( esp if its busy) and know that other humans walking there is all part of the experience the laughter, shrieks of joy, sighs of happiness. Perfect location for photography.
Koi pond is really cool, good place to find nature in the day to day city rush.
Easy space to relax and take a breathe with nature.
Its great! I love the natural air smell. Its a great place to ride too! We went cycling and got some delicious burgers from Burger Bach!! Mmmm yum so juicy!!!My only complaint is t that there is a lot of goose poop out there so watch out!
Great spot for a nice walk or photos. Free! If it were a garden where a fee was charged, I would give it only 3 stars... bit just ok, nothing special except the incredible stairway waterfall.
I did some maternity photos here recently. A lot of parts are sectioned off and the waterfall has been turned off. Still beautiful as usual.
Garden glow was very nice! Wish it was longer though!
A must see! A family favorite of ours to go and walk these wonderful gardens. So many little surprises and color all spring, summer and fall. Did I mention easy access and free parking??
I cant give this place a proper review as parts of it were closed due to Covid restrictions...but the gardens were magnificent! I will definitely return once the restrictions have lifted so I can get the full experience.
Nice little find in Richmond. Quiet & peaceful place.
Beautiful! So much to explore, lets your inner adventurer come to life.
This is such a beautiful, peaceful place. You have to come here if youre able to, you will not regret it
Such a beautiful replica of a Japanese garden. This is a must see place. Be prepared to walk a lot. Bring water to stay hydrated and if youre with kids bring a stroller.
Its pretty big clean and good to hang out with family and friends for picnic and gatherings.
A magnificent spot to see in Virginia. Such beautiful architecture!
Excellent park for family, weddings and couples. Youll get a workout walking here. The gardens after beautiful, theres also a petting zoo!
It was our first time there and we wish they could have a stroller or wheelchair sign to direct the path to the Japanese garden. The landscaping and garden were pretty but the water look disgusting. There were water on the walking path made it muddy so our sneakers and socks got wet.
Such a beautiful place to spend a spring afternoon. We wandered and enjoyed the wildlife, birds and resident fish! So peaceful and relaxing
Beautiful views, and really a treat to visit. I cant wait to return come the fall season.
It was a beautiful place to visit and is any time but especially during a time in history when nearly every indoor establishment, playground, and school is closed. The gardens were fun for a 4 year old to see the beauty and walk through.
Always a beautiful place to relax and walk through!
Its way better to go during the day
Such a beautiful place to bring family, friends or go alone .... Definitely worth the drive.
Always a great place to stroll and enjoy the flowers, trees, and the childrens farm.
Beautiful place to visit. Multiple walking paths accommodate social distancing. Recommend visiting!
Its nice but the Italian garden was much better.
Wonderful as usual!
A lovely place for a picnic or just a walk. Just a charming spot.
Oh my goodness! What a beautiful place!
Maymont Park is one of my favorite places to visit in Richmond. Its lovely there. A place of beauty, calm and serenity in the busy city of Richmond VA. The Italian Garden is all a bloom.
Very serene. Peaceful and relaxing.
Wonderful scenery, cant wait to go again
Beautiful, mostly upkept however a portion was shut down. Encouraging me to want to donate.
Awesome, except its a big hill so bring good shoes
Nice tranquil area of Marymount but there were no blooming flowers at all as I expected. Pond needs attention also
Could have stayed all day, its beautiful. No pets allowed though. :-(
Love Maymont, and Garden Glow event!
Poor shape, needs maintenance, what happened to the ponds, slimy water, please install a simply solar fountain for the pond to stop that scum,
Very pretty. Mansion is currently closed but the gardens are nice to walk around.
Very nicely done lighting throughout the Japanese Garden and along the path coming and going.Well worth the price of admission!
Beautiful place lots to see.
Nice quiet place for families and people go.
Me and my family had a great time. Look forward to our next visit!!
Maymont Park is a beautiful serene location for spending time with family and friends.
Beautiful, park and gorgeous wildlife
Very nice place to walk. So quiet. The garden is well maintenanced. There are colorfull fish in the pond.
Love the Italian Gardens roses and the Japanese Gardens koy pond! Great hike on a beautiful day!
Beautiful lighting, easy walking path, great venue for pictures. Path takes less than 30 minutes to walk. Be in line at least 20 minutes before your scheduled time. You can listen to a talented a talented team of drummers or sample from one of the food carts.
Beautiful place we rally enjoy it.
Amazing family outing! Definitely recommend wearing tennis shoes as it is a lot of walking.
Great place to walk and exercise. Living in Williamsburg its nice to get up to Richmond as we often do and just unwind. We wish Hampton roads had more parks similar to Richmond.
A very beautiful place. Nice groundsmen and staff.
Wanted to show my kids the place that Mom and Dad used to take me that was so beautiful not saying it was a complete disaster but it did not look as beautiful as it did when I was a kid
Maymont is absolutely beautiful. The Japanese Garden is one of the many garden areas you can walk through. It is very well maintained. It is not ideal for people with mobility issues due to the steps and hills. In the summer time make sure you pack water, sunscreen, and a hat.
A great place to spend time.
Nice day but everything is wintery. It will be beautiful in the spring.
