About
Discover something new at Maymont – whether it’s a baby goat at the Farm, a blooming flower in the gardens, a special exhibit in the mansion, or a fun public event. The 100-acre estate and park has been transformed from the Gilded Age showplace of millionaire couple, James and Sallie Dooley, into a public wonderland that offers unique experiences for all ages. Explore wildlife habitats with native Virginia animals like black bears and bald eagles, feed friendly goats at the Farm, and leap across stepping stones in the Japanese Garden. Sit in the shade of a giant tree for a picnic, and be amazed by the swan bed in the Maymont Mansion. For an extra special experience, check out the giant aquariums filled with creatures of the James River in The Robins Nature Center or book a horse-drawn carriage ride. (Fees required.) Look for special programs and events throughout the year. Whoever you are, you can find something to delight, educate and inspire you at this Richmond treasure. Admission to the grounds and gardens is free. There is a suggested donation for a tour of the Maymont Mansion, and there is a required fee for specialty and holiday tours as well as admission to The Robins Nature Center.
