Kew Gardens

My husband treated us to an annual pass last year, and we managed to visit a number of times and we have enjoyed it so much we have renewed our membership! There is always so much to see and be wowed by, whatever time of year! After 7 visits, we are still discovering new areas/features, which is incredible! No two visits are the same, and the variety of plants and trees is phenomenal! The orchid festival was wonderful and the Christmas lights are magical! Congratulations Team Kew for never-ending fantastic family experiences and memories! 🤩

Kew Gardens is an absolute delight, especially in spring when nature is in full bloom. The vibrant green pathways lined with white and pink blossoms on the trees, and delicate white flowers covering the ground, give the entire place a magical, almost paradise-like feel. Ticket Info: • Standard entry is £24.50 if booked online and £27 at the gate. • The peak season runs from February to October. • From 1st May onward, if you visit after 4:00 PM, you can avail a discounted entry at £12.50. • Note that the Dragon Tower requires a separate ticket costing £4.50 if you want to access the top floor for panoramic views. Getting There: I travelled from Ealing Broadway and took the 65 bus — it took about 45 minutes to reach the garden. Highlights: • The greenhouse was lush and very humid inside, filled with a diverse collection of tropical plants. • The Kew Palace is also within the garden premises and is worth visiting — although I missed it as it closes at 16:30. • There’s a dedicated children’s playground, which is great if you’re visiting with family. What makes Kew Gardens unique is that it’s not just a tourist attraction — it’s also a renowned botanical research center, contributing to global plant science and conservation. Definitely a place worth visiting for nature lovers, families, and photography enthusiasts. Plan ahead to make the most of it!

Absolutely gorgeous and huge gardens, beautiful and lovely cared for greenhouses, very helpful and informed staff and volunteers. Absolutely worth the money (there‘s discounts for young people and students and also old people, etc.), Lovely for photography, for strolling around and for botanical enthusiasts. I can most absolutely recommend!

I cannot believe that I had never visited Kew Gardens over all my years traveling to London until now. The grounds are expansive and well kept, and the atmosphere is serene. Definitely a less busy attraction than the parks in the central city. The greenhouses were a standout, although make sure you’re wearing light airy clothing if you’re doing a lot of walking that day and prone to sweating like me, as it’s pretty humid inside. Definitely worth the train ride, and the surrounding neighborhoods are also a great place to stroll and spend a half day if you’re visiting.

Kew Gardens was quite frankly stunning. I was taken by my mother for my birthday, and I'd love to go again and explore more. The site is huge, well kept, clean and maintained. Featuring an incredible and vast variety of plants there is so much to see. I am a particular fan of glass houses so, the several large glass houses with not only amazing plants but beautiful construction were an absolute delight. The most impressive of which (in my opinion) features a range of levels, heights, tunnels, bridges and was great fun to explore, I wish I had more time as there is a lot here to see in one day. I did nearly 30k steps and didn't see half of it. It also features a range of other impressive buildings that I didn't have much time to explore, except climbing the 250 ish steps of the Pagoda for a breathtaking view. My only real complaint is we grabbed good at the family restaurant, even adult portion size was tiny and pretty bland.
