Where to go in Richmond
Riverfront Canal Cruises
The Canal Walk has been a staple of Richmond for decades, entertaining visitors and residents alike. Located along downtown’s riverfront, the Canal Walk stretches 1.25 miles along the James River and Kanawha and Haxall Canals, and has access points at nearly every block between 5th and 17th Streets.
​
The Canal Walk is used for walking and biking by visitors, residents and people enjoying a break from working downtown. Did you know that you can explore the canal by boat, too? Find out more about Riverfront Canal Cruises.

There is so much to learn about Richmond’s history along the Canal Walk. On your walk you’ll see public art, statues and exhibits. Learn all about the Riverfront Art here.

Children’s Museum Of Richmond
The Children's Museum of Richmond (CMoR) strives to provide every child with the chance to play, learn, and explore in a stimulating, hands-on environment. At the Children’s Museum, every visit is meant to support, explore, and highlight the healthy benefits of play. Our focus is on play for children of all abilities in an environment where the whole family can be comfortable. The museum’s doors are open so that all children in the community can benefit from fun, educational activities such as an afternoon in the Art Studio, story time with a volunteer, a quality SOL-based field trip about simple machines or a big hug from Seymour the Friendly Dinosaur. With contributions from the community, the CMoR Scholarship Fund works with schools and nonprofit organizations to provide admission, membership, and program tuition for children, families, and school groups who could not otherwise visit the museum.
Black History Museum And Cultural Center Of Virginia
The Black History Museum & Cultural Center of Virginia -- featuring interactive, educational permanent and traveling exhibitions -- preserves and honors Virginia’s African American history and culture.
The James River In Richmond
When kayakers ride straight through the middle of your downtown, you know you’re a great place for the outdoors. Here, the James River rules, with whitewater kayaking on the nation’s only urban class IV rapids, along with rafting, swimming, tubing and guided tours. Alongside the James, there’s 52 miles of Capital Trailbike trail, which starts in downtown Richmond and goes all the way to Williamsburg. Rent a bike or hike the James River Park System, Pocahontas State Park trails or our downtown island retreat, Belle Isle. Or go on a guided bike, Segway or scooter tour of street art and the river.
