The Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden is one of Richmond's most beautiful attractions. This natural haven of flowers and plants is highlighted by picturesque paths and vistas that invite you to take a leisurely, relaxing walk. Spread out over 24 luxurious acres, the Ginter Botanical Garden features various landscape designs, seasonal displays and gardening techniques. Also on site, you'll find a truly breathtaking example of a Victorian garden as well as Bloemendaal, an 1888 Victorian manor that has been meticulously maintained to retain its regal, commanding appearance. History and pageantry balance perfectly at this truly unforgettable garden.
Go for the classics when you spend an unforgettable evening with the Richmond Symphony Orchestra. This incredible group of musicians work hard all year long through extensive rehearsals and various performances to ensure that they not only bring out the best in each other, but also deliver a truly remarkable performance for you to enjoy. Their program throughout the year spotlights different composers and are part of different series like the Masterworks, Symphony Pops and Metro Collections. Whichever performance you choose, you can be assured that the Richmond Symphony will perform the music that is, as their tagline suggests, made for you.
The Children's Museum of Richmond has been touted as one of the East Coast's most exciting, innovative museums where the words "hands off" don't apply. The kids are encouraged to touch everything, and that invitation to interact with the attractions and exhibits they see proves to be just the thing to spark their curiosity and creativity. The kids can chase butterflies in Shadow Play, create artwork in the art room and then take their creations home with them, as well as learn the value of community and sharing as they interact with their fellow adventurers.
