The Robins Nature Center at Maymont

The Robins Nature Center is small, but worth a visit. There's a parking lot right outside. Walk inside the lobby where you can find a surprisingly fun gift shop, clean restrooms, and friendly staff behind the ticket counter. Admission is $8 for adults and $6 for kids. Once inside the main area, you'll see tanks full of fish, starfish, turtles, snakes, and more. There's an area for parents to sit and a fun climbing tree with safety nets. Our kids LOVED visiting!

Went here with the wife and enjoyed it. Didn't realize it was for kids until we got in. But overall has a good variety of animals plus kids would love it!

Excellent and engaging experience for toddlers to preschoolers. From the animal environment play area to the climbing tree… it was very fun and clean. Additionally, the Virginia animals were great.

The gardens here are absolutely beautiful! There were a bunch of different gardens throughout the property. We especially loved the Japanese garden and the little herb garden. Lots of places to enjoy nature and take pictures. There was even a quincenera party taking photos. We also saw a bunch of families bringing picnics and enjoying them on the lawn. We are definitely going to do that next time. To enter the park, there is no fee, just a suggested donation to help them care for the gardens.

Wear your walking shoes. Beautiful place to kill some time and see beautiful nature. All for free too. This kids love the entire park, from the Gardens side to the Animals side. It's definitely a Richmond staple.
