The Robins Nature Center at Maymont

"Fantastic location for a casual day... The entire estate is so beautiful and well maintained"

"Wonderful experience for families with children or couples. There's so much more to see than you'll probably even have a chance to get around to if it's a hot day. If you're lucky you'll get to see a couple black bears among other things you'd be surprised to see like owls, otters, hawks, and even a couple bald eagles. It's a great alternative to a zoo with all animals in rehabilitation that would need the help otherwise. Expect a lot of walking, the land is incredibly expansive."

"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."

"First time visiting since the remodel. It's very nice, seems geared for younger kids but my 10 yr old still enjoyed it. The large aquariums are the same and there are some additional smaller tanks that have been added. There is a play area for toddlers and a large leaf thing for kids to climb. It was a tight squeeze for my kiddo but she's pretty tall. There were also some interactive tables to click around on. We went through it pretty quickly but it was a fun place to go on a chilly day. We went on a Friday around 2:00 and pretty much had the place to ourselves"
