An Accessible Family Visit to Richmond, VI
Pack your bags and jump in the car and head to Richmond, Virginia. It will be worth the trip if all you do is visit the Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden. The entire Botanical Garden is accessible, but the Children's Garden is designed beautifully for children of differing abilities. The designers of the garden used Universal Design principals to create a play environment where every child can participate in the entire experience.
According to the Lewish Ginter website "Diversity is the main theme of this garden ? diversity of environments, ecosystems, plants, adaptation and human culture." To ensure that everyone can learn through their own learn styles the staff of the Children's Garden offer self-directed, informal learning and organized education programs.
Here is what you can expect to experience while exploring the 1.5 acre Children's Garden:
1. Climb a 100 year old tree.
2. Visit and play in multiple play houses designed and landscaped from countries around the world.
3. Get wet in the water spray park (during the summer)
4. Learn about farming at the Farm Garden where the produce that is harvested is donated to the local food back.
6. Explore the tunnels, willow forts, and bridges in the Butterfly Meadow.
7. Check out the weird and contrasting plant area and see the multiple textures and growing patterns of plants.
8. Play in the sand area or create a master piece in the arts 'n craft area.
Parents don't need to worry, there are rest areas with shade and water fountains throughout the garden, so they can relax while their children play.
Don't forget about the accessible treehouse!! Everyone regardless of their gross motor ability can now climb to the top of a tree and play in a treehouse From the treehouse you can look out and see dramatic views of the Conservatory, the Rose Belvedere and all of the Children?s Garden. To reach the top of the 13' feet high treehouse you wind and climb a 500-foot ramp winds that starts at the main entrance. As you wind your way up, you can stop play with interactive learning stations.
While in Richmond you can also visit The Science Museum of Virginia which features hundreds of hands-on exhibits on a wide range of science topics. Except for Wonderplace Lab which cannot be altered due to historic status,the entire museum is barrier-free.
The Children?s Museum of Richmond is geared for young children and provides tons of opportunities for play and learning. While it is warm visit their ?backyard? and explore nature and get wet. All of the exhibits are wheelchair accessible.
Then, of course, there is King?s Dominion, a theme park for children of all ages. King?s Dominion is open throughout the summer and on weekends through October. For young children there is a waterpark and a place to meet friends like the Rugrats and Scooby Doo.

Scooby-Doo/Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed - $12.99 Includes:Scooby-Doo (2002), MPAA Rating: PG Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed (2004), MPAA Rating: PG Scooby-Doo The long-running cartoon from William Hanna and Joseph Barbera that began life in 1969 as Scooby-Doo, Where Are You? becomes this live-action, tongue-in-cheek comedy-adventure featuring a computer-generated version of the easily frightened, mush-mouthed Great Dane. Freddie Prinze Jr. stars as Fred, the blonde, confident, ascot-sporting leader of Mystery Inc., a ghost-busting service that exposes phony supernatural phenomena as the work of shysters. Working with Fred are: his rich, beautiful girlfriend, Daphne (Sarah Michelle Gellar), who has a bad habit of getting kidnapped by villains; Velma (Linda Cardellini), the real brains of the group who pines secretly for Fred; cowardly slacker and dog's best friend Shaggy (Matthew Lillard); and the snack-gobbling pet pooch Scooby. However, after solving its latest case involving a beleaguered toy company owner (Pamela Anderson), the group fractures over Fred's habit of grabbing credit for everyone's hard work, despite the pleas of Shaggy and Scooby. Two years later, they are reunited at Spooky Island, a theme park and teen spring break destination that owner Emile Mondavarious (Rowan Atkinson) claims is plagued with ghosts. Suspicious as usual of any claims involving the paranormal, the Mystery Inc. clan is soon probing a scheme involving ancient rites, summoned spirits, and brainwashed college students, forcing the group members to resolve their differences and uncover the truth. Directed by Chris Columbus prot?g? Raja Gosnell, Scooby-Doo features the voice of Scott Innes as the title character. ~ Karl Williams, Rovi Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed America's favorite teenage canine-led crime fighters earn a second shot at the big screen in this sequel to the hit comedy Scooby-Doo. The reunited Mystery Inc. team -- Fred (Freddie Prinze Jr.), Daphne (Sarah Michelle Gellar), Velma (Linda Cardellini), Shaggy (Matthew Lillard), and Scooby-Doo (voice of Neil Fanning) -- return to their hometown of Coolsville as heroes when a local criminology museum offers an exhibition of the many ghostly disguises used by villains they've subdued over the years. However, their warm welcome is not long-lived; mean-spirited television reporter Heather Jasper-Howe (Alicia Silverstone) has aired a series of stories calling the team's intelligence and bravery into question, and even worse, a number of the weird creature costumes on display in the museum are coming to life and wrecking havoc on the people of Coolsville. Some of the clues seem to point to Old Man Wickles (Peter Boyle), whose attempts to pose as the Black Knight Ghost were foiled by the Mystery Machinists in the past, but is he looking for revenge or just a red herring? And what is Velma supposed to do about Patrick Wisely (Seth Green), a curator at the museum who's warm for her helmet-haired form? Scooby-Doo 2 also co-stars Tim Blake Nelson and features |
