Richmond Reviews

Write a review about Richmond Tell people what you like or don't like about Richmond…
In Richmond, IN I Never get Bored 4.5 rating By Anonymous ( May 14, 2018) For a small city, we have several things to offer in Richmond including museums, the symphony orchestra, parks, and a botanical gardens. We also have a few small indoor entertainment centers that offer bowling, video games, and other activities that my kids love.

I try to take ...Read More advantage of the natural aspects of the city including the beautiful parks and festivals in the summer. I love chocolate, so I usually make a few trips to the chocolate trail which is a self-guided tour of different gourmet chocolate shops. Yummy! If chocolate is not enough, I usually make my way to Main Street Sweets Cafe in Cambridge City for a delicious scoop of ice cream.

We have a big performing arts scene in Richmond. The best part of living here is having a variety of activities. If you like music and art, I recommend the 4th Floor Blues Club that is open throughout the day. I also enjoy musicals throughout the year at the Civic Hall Performing Arts Center. Read Less
