I live in Chester, VA which is about 15 minutes outside of Richmond which has a lot of cool things to do. One of my favorite places to visit in Richmond is Maymont Park. It is a small sort of zoo with some farm animals like sheep and goats that you can hand-feed. The best part of the park is that it is free! They also have numerous types of birds, along with larger animals such as bears, bobcats, and foxes. It has winding trails that lead the visitor to each animal area which is really peaceful. Aside from animals, Maymont also has a Japanese flower garden which is a large area with many beautiful flowers, ponds filled with koi fish, and a large waterfall with rocks to allow you to climb to the top. When I visit, this is my favorite place to go since the scenery is so tranquil and pretty to look at. I usually pack a lunch, walk to the flower garden, find a nice rock to sit on, and enjoy my lunch out in nature. There is also some cool history behind Maymont. It used to be owned by a family, the entire hundred or so acres, and they sold most of it for it to become the park it is now.
