I visited Maymont on a recent trip to Richmond and was surprised at the size of the estate,…read moreespecially considering that the gardens and outdoor areas function as a free public park. The grounds are beautiful with plenty of areas to relax and picnic. There were lots of people out enjoying the good weather but it never felt crowded. It's a little confusing trying to figure out what things require a ticket/paid admission. On the map they provide, there's no indication that a ticket is needed for the mansion, but one is in fact required. However you have to buy a ticket at the Stone Barn by the entrance. You can try buying on the website but I didn't have great signal. Instead I backtracked to the Stone Barn to get a ticket but the prices were higher than what I was told at the Mansion and they appeared to be limited to timed entry and all the time slots were sold out. Long story short, I didn't see the inside of the mansion, but still spent a good couple hours exploring the outdoor areas. Which was all free so I count that as a win.

I can't say enough good things about The Teeny Tiny Farm. They were on time, set up everything in a jiffy, explained how to interact with the animals, cleaned up after the animals so quickly that sometimes I didn't even notice if there'd been a dropping or mess. The pony rides were well executed and the guy was so considerate and friendly. He answered lots of questions about the animals and was patient with the kids. He made sure the birthday boy got plenty of time with the animals and another pony ride before he packed up to go. I was pleasantly surprised that this surpassed my expectations.

They have a lot of primates. One can feed the giraffes. It's cool to be so up close to these creatures. They have a 20 minutes train/tractor ride, but there's typically a little bit of a wait. You have to purchase the train ticket before getting on the ride. Some folks waited in queue only to realize that they hadn't bought their ticket when it was their turn to get on. I would recommend buying admission, giraffe, food, and any other add-on features online. There wasn't an extra charge. Also, I would recommend packing a lunch if you intend to stay more than two or three hours. They have a snack shack and a ice cream window. I think they're usually very busy.

It's hard to travel with a stroller on the farm but being that I was by myself, it would've been impossible for me without it. However the staff on the farm were extremely helpful and kind. One of the tractor drivers was kind enough to explain to me what was offered on the farm. We took the tractor down to where all the activities were. It was simple with some animals and a huge box full of corn for the kids to play in. And they played for hours! There was food too but we didn't end up getting anything, even a coffee truck which is a nice touch for parents as they watch their kids play in the corn. Then the tractor takes everyone down to the pumpkin patch where you choose your own. It's a great thing to do with the kids in the fall!
