Five Richmond Ideas for Fans From Fans

TrainingCamp01It’s the last weekend of the Bon Secours Washington Redskins Training Camp in the Richmond Region. We asked some fans what folks should do off the field before the team heads home.

We talked to Tillmon and Ashley first:TrainingCamp02

1. Carytown: “It has anything for anybody,” Tillmon said. Both praised Galaxy Diner for its array of vegetarian and gluten-free options. Tillmon said that One Eyed Jacques, at 3104 West Cary Street, was a required stop for gamers.

 

 

 

Mike, Kim, Moon and Kiersten were full of suggestions for kids, of all ages, coming into TrainingCamp03town for the last weekend of camp.

2. Kings Dominion: Moon said the rides and roller coasters at Kings Dominion were a favorite local attraction. Kim said the WaterWorks water park was a great way to beat the summer heat. Morgan Moses, a rookie at camp this year, recommended Kings Dominion in our last post!

3. Canal Walk/River Walk: Kim said the canal and river walks, running from Shockoe Bottom up to Belle Isle along the picturesque James River, were relaxing spots for a stroll no matter the time of day.

4. Bottoms Up Pizza: Everyone agreed that Bottoms Up Pizza, at 1700 Dock Street in Shockoe Bottom, was a favorite place to grab a slice.

5. Metro Richmond Zoo: The zoo made a big splash last year with the baby Cheetah Cam! Now Meerkat pups are taking center stage and everybody agreed they would have to get to the zoo soon to see them; and maybe to ride the Treetop Zoofari zip line.
