https://www.vmfa.museum/visit/plan-your-visit We love visiting the VMFA and walking around the exhibitions, especially when it's hot outside. General admission is always free! (You can pay to see special visiting exhibitions, if you're interested). There is a cafe and a gift store to explore, as well as a wonderful outside space with plenty of shade. Parking in the museum's lot is fairly cheap but not free. There is generally plenty of free street parking on nearby streets (just make sure you check the road signs to avoid getting towed!)
