| We have a rare free weekend to meet up with friends. She's 7 months pregnant and we have a three year old. Does anyone have a suggestion on something fun to do? |

| The Richmond zoo is fun. You can feed the giraffes. We also liked Maymount in Richmond. |

I disagree about the zoo. I found it to be a really depressing zoo. |

I grew up in Richmond and here are my two cents. Maymont is beautiful in the spring and summer - not sure what it will be like in early March. They have a little petting zoo in addition to cool parks (my favorite as a kid was the Japanese garden). You can do some shopping in Carytown, which is nearby, and there are lots of good places to eat there, including a diner and a Mexican joint called Nacho Mamas that could be good for the three-year old. There is also the science museum, which is in the same general vicinity but might be geared towards older kids - here's the link http://www.smv.org. Everything I am recommending is within a short distance so you won't have to go very far.
Have fun! |

Second the science museum, little kids would b good with the children's next door. Older boys love tredegar iron works, Hollywood cemetery, White House of the confederacy plus museum. Sugar shack donuts i
Has no peer, the Virginia museum of fine arts is outstanding. Nacho mamas and bottoms up! Pizza are excellent as is failte Irish pub, check trip advisor for other good local places. |
