For starters, a little background on Maymont.  It's huge.  There are three entrances, and this post is only covering Spottswood and the Children's Farm.  The pictures do not do it justice.  We were there over and hour and didn't even see the bison.  Or the butterflies.  Or the bottom of the hill.

So do the park a solid, and bring a few bucks donation for the grounds.  And when you're exiting your car, scour the floormat for a quarter; that's for a handful of feed for the animals.

Inside and past that building you will find chickens, rabbits, sheep, pigs, and goats.  We saw six day old baby goats, so be prepared for the cute.  There are two outside bird cage thingies with two hawks.  At the bottom on the hill there's a butterfly house.  Around another hill there are bison.  I'm sure there's more.  We never see it all.  Way too much.  Fun overload.

Pastures behind the barn.

A survey of the grounds as you exit the barn.  Gorgeous, eh?
