Gresham's Tours & Travel

Strolling hand in hand while taking in one memorable piece of art after another is a great way to spend quality time with your honey, and the best place to enjoy some fine displays of great artistic expressions is the Harnett Museum of Art. The museum opened in 1968, and since then the staff has prided itself on consistently acquiring some of the world's most recognized works by some of the world's best known artists. To balance that goal, the museum also presents work from students that proves to be just as thought provoking.

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.

The theater prides itself in presenting some of the best productions in the country, and the Altria Theater consistently attracts enthusiasts both young and old who enjoy a great evening of fine entertainment.
