A huge place with so much to see! Plan your time wisely so you can make the most of the areas you really want to visit. The tree walk is nice, but be prepared for lots of stairs. Everything is very clean and well organized. A wonderful place for anyone who loves greenery and nature. We visited in the summer and it was fantastic — I’d love to see all that greenery in winter too!

Beautiful park and gardens. We visited Kew Gardens in July and it was really nice. If you are interested in plants and flowers, you will love it. There's a lot to see, quite a few greenhouses and park areas with different trees and plants. I am no expert when it comes to plants and trees but thoroughly enjoyed reading all the descriptions and learning more about plants that grow in completely different countries and regions. There's a few restaurants where you can make a stop and grab something to drink and eat. A few toilet stops throughout. I'd say you need 3-4 hours if you want to see everything without a rush. We also visited the Pagoda, which is a separate ticket. In my opinion not worth climbing it, there's nothing really to see. Appreciate it from the outside.

A beautiful place and definitely one of the highlights of my time in London. Kew Gardens is huge, extremely well maintained, clean and peaceful, with so much to discover that you can easily spend several hours here. As a biologist, I particularly enjoyed the botanical side of the visit. The diversity of plants, the different environments and the way the collections are presented made the experience much more interesting for me than simply walking through a beautiful garden. Everything felt well organised and cared for, and each area had something different to offer. A really enjoyable experience and a place I would happily visit again.

We had a wonderful family get-together at Kew Gardens and couldn't have asked for a better day. The gardens are absolutely stunning, with so much natural beauty to explore. The children had an amazing time, and we adults enjoyed every moment too. It was a very educational visit, with fascinating plants, trees, and beautiful landscapes around every corner. We brought a picnic, which made the day even more special, as there were plenty of lovely spots to relax together. To finish the day, we treated ourselves to delicious ice cream and refreshing drinks at the café. It was a warm day, so sitting inside with the air conditioning was the perfect way to cool down before heading home. A fantastic day out for all ages—we'll definitely be back!
