Nice on a warm day, cool places, lots of plans, big greenhouse, better to go early in the moring to avoid big crowds.

Kew gardens at any time of the year are a good place to visit, away from the hussle and bussle of London, they are a place of peace and quiet. Even in wet weather the greenhouses and pavillions are a good place to visit. The fountains and lake are beautiful and there are miles of well signposted walks. After all this activity a good tea room is provided and a gift shop for tasteful souveniers of a good day out. The ducks provide amusement for the children and the tropical hothouses a taste of more exotic places.

Buy a season ticket and walk their at least once a week - watch nature change. A bit pricey for a one off visit but definitely worth it.

I love Kew Gardens. Especially when the sun is shining. You just can’t get any better than Kew.

A great place to explore whether you are a gardener or not. I loved the glass houses containing tropical plants.

A great place if you have kids or babies! Food choices a bit limited though

Kew Gardens is truely magical. It can feel pretty pricey to get in - it’s £13 for adults. Kids under 17 are free (when with adults). When you get in you really see where your money is going. We’ve visited gardens in a number of countries and this is (in my mind) the most well cared for and interesting of them all. You can spend all day here, it’s massive and there is so much to do and see - infact the chances are the kids, or you will get tired before you’ve seen everything. When everyones worn themselves out there are some great picnic spots (weather pending of course - this is England!!) The greenhouses have some amazing plants and flowers and the children really learn about what grows in different environments. They have events all year round so it feels like there is something different everytime you visit - obviously aided by the wonderful change in seasons experienced in this part of the world. This is without doubt one of my favourite places to spend the day - even when it’s raining! It doesn’t matter how many times I go, I just never get bored. The only downside with Kew…...I wish I lived closer!!

Wow, I can’t believe that I have not visited before.
We parked outside the Victoria gate which is free to park on the road after 10am. The whole place is amazing but the real highlights for me was the Princess of Wales conservatree with the most amzing structural plants. We walked for 6 and half hours around the gardens and still didn’t see everything. A real must is botanical art gallery as this was the last place wwe visited and thought we would have a quick look around as I prefer the gardens but it was a real surprise to see so many stunning works of art. I would highly reconmend a day out.

A world class garden, great for the plants and a walk. It’s a shame entry prices keep going up, pricey for a family. But if you can’t afford to go regularly at least go once.
Plenty of good catering.

Yes, apart from the rather hefty entrance fee, Kew Gardens is one of the top outdoor places to go in London, especially in Spring/Summer. I recommend going inside the Evolution House which takes you on a simulated journey through prehistoric time until now with all the trees, plants and geology that goes with it. Accross the path is the Temperate House, which is a 2 story Victorian original building that houses plants divided into the different continents of the world. In there you can stand next to a small gum tree from Australia and then walk over to a decent sized rubber plant from South America. Magical!

I love Kew Gardens, especially when the sun is shining as you could be anywhere in the world. Every year we head from the quietness of Devon and go up for the Jool Holland picnic in the park type thing at Kew. A must visit for anyone visiting london
