Tis place has it all! Paintings, sculptures, furniture, Faberge, artifacts...you name it, they have it! I was pleasantly surprised and how much I enjoyed this museum. It's a lot to take in for one visit so, I will be returning. I would describe this museum as a "mini Louvre." I just cannot say enough great things!

Our first experience in an escape room and thoroughly enjoyed. Very nicely done, staging and props, set a nice atmosphere. Challenging, we came so close to solving.

I've had pleasant visits to Maymont in the past, but this last time will have me choosing to go elsewhere in the future. The groundskeeper kept using his bullhorn to repeatedly announce that the grounds closed at 5 and that the gates would be locked. There were only a few people left, and we did clear out by 5, but he was so aggressive it bordered on obnoxious. If he had talked to the few groups individually or even prefaced his requests with a "please" it would have been much less objectionable.

My son and I did the Innocent and Speak Easy escape rooms with a group of people we didn’t know and we all worked well together. Both rooms were challenging especially Innocent. I recommend this room only to others who love ERs and have done many, I had not and we were with 4 others who had never done an escape room and we barely cover 60% of the room when our time was up. But I loved how both rooms were detailed to the theme of the rooms and creativeness of the puzzle flow and all the secret doors were a unique surprise too!

6 family and friends, Saturday afternoon, an hour of great fun. We all enjoyed it. Difficulty of puzzles varied, but process is linear and it helps to keep that in mind so you don't skip something if someone solves something a few steps ahead - could result in missing a clue you need later in the game.
I would recommend it for older teens and up, younger kids probably should have a 1 kid 1 adult ratio, but everyone should have a great time.
It was a first escape room experience for all of us and I am sad to say we got obsessed with a couple of the early puzzles and didn't finish. However we discussed possible dates we could all get together again at dinner immediately after the experience. Go for it,
8. Tom Leonard's Farmer's Market

Have to admit that it is a little funny seeing this in the list of attractions of Glen Allen.. it is a grocery/farmer's market after all. But if you are looking for a grocery with a farmer's market atmosphere then this the place for you. You will find fresh fruits and veggies in season, good prices on quality beef and seafood. You might even smell the bread being baked there. While this is not a one stop grocery stop, this is somewhere to get fruits and veggies, breads, and some delicious salad dressings too.

This monument is just off Route 1 near 295 and is tucked in a residential neighborhood. It is a small monument up some stairs with a nice little park behind it. There is a historic marker there with the history of the spot. This is where Stuart was mortally wounded and makes for a nice break.
