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 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.
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.
