Maymont is a 100-acre American estate, an extraordinary gift given to the community by James and Sallie Dooley, who lived there from 1893 to 1925. Whether strolling in the gardens, touring the mansion or watching river otters play, there is something for everyone to enjoy. A first visit to Maymont is best started at the Robins Nature & Visitor Center—Maymont's front door—but a history lover will soon find a path to the 1893 Maymont Mansion, while a plant lover will find the elaborate Japanese and Italian gardens. And animal lovers will delight in the Nature Center, Wildlife Exhibits and Children's Farm. Visit site for details.
Beginning November 1, 2019 the Nature Center will be temporarily closed for renovation, is expected to re-open in early spring 2020.
