Things To Do
Virginia Museum of Fine Arts
This is one of our favorite places to stroll around on a lazy Saturday or Sunday! It's also practically in our backyard. Should you arrive early enough on Friday, they do a fun happy hour starting at 6:00. Admission is free to the general public. There are some amazing pieces on display - take it from the art teacher!
Carytown
Carytown is one of Richmond's hidden gems. It is a great location for shopping, walking, or grabbing a bite to eat. We recommend The Daily, CanCan Brasserie and Burger Bach as great brunch/lunch spots. Should you choose to explore Carytown, be sure to stop by the historic Byrd Theater and our favorite shop, Mongrel!
Scott's Addition
Scott's Addition is an an up and coming neighborhood in Richmond that is best known for its breweries and cideries. Our personal favorites include Ardent, Vasen, Veil and Buskey Cider. For even more activities, head to The Circuit (an arcade bar) or Tang and Biscuit (a shuffleboard bar). Most of these locations are within walking distance from one another. For a bite to eat, we recommend ZZQ, Stella's Market or Tazza Kitchen!
Maymont
Maymont is a 100-acre Victorian estate and public park in Richmond. It contains Maymont Mansion (now a historic house museum) an arboretum, formal gardens, a carriage collection, native wildlife exhibits, a nature center, and farm. Wear comfortable walking shoes and get your camera ready for some stunning views.
Short Pump Town Center
For those staying in the Short Pump area, Short Pump Town Center is an open-air shopping mall featuring a host of brand name stores and local boutiques. There are several restaurants to stop in as well.
