Richmond is full of historical attractions, battlefields and dynamic family-oriented cultural centers, parks, and museums. There is something here for everyone. We've got walking tours, bus tours, and trolley tours. You can stroll through beautiful parks and gardens, or ride a world class roller coaster.
Paramount's Kings Dominion [804] 876.5561 - A 400-acre family entertainment park with different theme areas "where the magic of the movies meets the thrills of a lifetime." There are more than 40 rides, including seven world-class roller coasters. When you need a break from the rides, you can see live performances such as concerts, fireworks shows, and animal shows. There is a lot of walking, and it gets hot, so dress comfortably.

If you find yourself more of a nature enthusiast, do not fret. Either The Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden [804] 262.9887 or Maymont [804] 358.7166 will tickle your fancy. At The Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden, nature lovers will delight at the beauty of this botanical garden where thousands of plant species are artfully arranged across 80 acres. This garden is known for its extensive collection of daffodils, daylilies, rhododendrons, and azaleas. Maymont is without question one the most favored places in the city, with its Romanesque house, arboretum with mature exotic trees, formal Italian garden, Japanese garden, carriage rides, nature center, and native Virginia animal habitats.
