The Skin & Beauty Haus

The family will love enjoying Richmond's natural amenities when visiting James River Park. The scenery at this riverside park is breathtaking. Some of the park's most popular sites include Belle Isle, Pony Pasture, Huguenot Woods and the main park area; all of these areas offer more than a few opportunities to get up close to Richmond's natural beauty. You can also enjoy tubing, fishing, kayaking and bird watching. Learn about this natural attraction on one of the walking tours or take a leisurely stroll down the newly added Canal Walk.

When you walk through the doors of the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, you'll be struck by the breathtaking collection of true masterpieces by Renoir, Picasso and Warhol, just to name a few. Enjoy a cup of coffee from the Best Cafe or a bite from the Amuse Restaurant while you browse through the impressive gift shop that carries an amazing selection of prints, books and children's items. This world-renowned museum and attraction boasts some of the best loved pieces that art lovers travel from everywhere to see. While these works may be considered Egyptian art, Chinese art, or medieval and renaissance art, the awe that it inspires in those who see it defies categorization.

Buddy's is actually the perfect name for this bar, as you will more than likely be "buddies" with several of the people here because of both the venue's popularity and its unusually small size. Actually, this popular under-30s crowd watering hole is five times longer than it is wide, so you will press the flesh quite a bit, even if you are just heading to the bar. Buddy's serves a light menu early in the evening, but if you wait until later to try and get in, you might be facing at least a 15-minute wait outside. Then again, you might make a new "buddy" before you even enter the bar!
