There is no question that antiques are classic. It only makes sense to purchase those precious items from an establishment that is nearly as time-tested as the antiques themselves. West End Antique Mall more than lives up to its reputation, and that commitment to excellence in both inventory and service is what has made area shoppers vote them as Richmond's Top Antique Mall. Featuring over 250 booths placed over 53,000 square feet, you'll find such treasures as porcelain, fine art, mirrors, lighting, pottery, silver, carpets and much more.

Browns Island was named for Elijah Brown who acquired the land from Rhode Island in 1811. This piece of land is strategically located near downtown and is now part of the James River Park. Live concerts are held there on Fridays during the summer, and the land features footpaths and hiking trails that prove to be popular with nature and outdoors enthusiasts from all over the area. Added attractions include the fast water with large and small rapids and a path that leads down to the river behind a pier that all make for a great opportunity to commune with nature.

The Haunts of Richmond offers a frighteningly good time as it offers you a chance to tour Shockoe Bottom, Richmond's oldest and most haunted neighborhood.

This experience is brought to life by the authors of Haunted Richmond: The Shadows of Shockoe, and their expertise and personal stories only make this tour all the more dramatic.

The Metro Richmond Zoo lets your kids get up close to the animals. They'll marvel at the towering beauty of the giraffes as they get a chance to actually pet them.

It'll be a day full of wild fun, so be sure to stop at the zoo's gift shop to pick up a neat souvenir to commemorate your family's very own safari.
