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. They'll giggle uncontrollably when they hear the orangutan whistle or watch the monkeys monkey around with each other. The kids will have plenty to see as the zoo features more than 400 animals in their natural habitat attraction. 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.
Instead of taking the family out to a movie or the mall, why not opt for an evening of great live theater? You won't have to go far to find quality entertainment when you make Theatre IV your destination. This is the second largest children's theater in the nation in attendance, and that distinction only drives this nonprofit, professional theater to continue to excel in its performances.
