Family Memories are Made in Goochland

Goochland offers nostalgic family fun that’s big on excitement and easy on the budget. Pack up your precious cargo and hit the road!

Stop 1

Hidden Rock Park, Leakes Mill Park, or Matthews Park

Stretch your legs–and your imagination–at Goochland’s public parks. These kid-endorsed fun zones have playgrounds, fields, and a trail network suited for hours of play. Spot local wildlife, toss a frisbee, and make new memories on acres of lush parkland.

Stop 2

Courthouse Market & Grill OR Goochland Restaurant

After a burst of exercise, stop for some kid-friendly fare at either the Courthouse Market & Grill or Goochland Restaurant. Featuring delicious sandwiches, burgers, and pizza, the Courthouse Market is bound to have something for everyone in the family. If your family is looking for classic, diner-style specialties, Goochland Restaurant is a go-to serving American Favorites.

Stop 3

Patterson Golf Park or Bogeys Sports Park

Patterson’s two,18 hole mini golf courses and covered driving range offer timeless fun in a charming setting. Brightly colored animal sculptures and whimsical designs adorn the courses, making them perfect backdrops for family selfies–or holes in one! As a bonus, the concession stand is a great stop for post-competition snacks.

Bogeys Sports Park is an equally exciting alternative where “please don’t touch” doesn’t apply. A golf course, a driving range, batting cages, and little links for smaller players provide fun for every age and stage. The best adventures are the least complicated.

Stop 4

Goochland Drive-In

A trip to the drive-in is the recommended finale for your Goochland County day. This homage to classic Americana features a playground, lawn games, food, plentiful parking, and affordable pricing. Watch your flick from a lawn chair under the stars or from the comfort of your car.

Rassawek’s 1,000 acres of rural paradise showcase Goochland in its seasonal glory. The vineyard’s Spring Jubilee and Autumn Festival are annual must-do’s, featuring local wineries and craft breweries, food trucks, live music, and kids’ activities galore. During the festivities, Rassawek’s vintage trains, heritage buildings, and agritourism activities are your family’s express ticket to fun. Featuring beautifully restored rail cars, a general store, a ticket station, and a log cabin, Rassawek Vineyard preserves the past and takes a hands-on approach to history.

Planning tip: the Spring Jubilee is held in June and the Autumn Festival is held in October.
