Kew Gardens - Great walk and Nature

Fantastic place. Beautiful scenery. The ticket process was swift online. Paid with PayPal. There is no need to book a slot or time for Kew Gardens. Just redeem the voucher online and turn up. Show the voucher at the entrance and they will process the ticket. Food inside is expensive. Plan to pack a picnic lunch/bag. The children's area is next to the Family Kitchen Shop/Restaurant. Parking on site available at £10 per day but the gardens close at 7pm and the parking 30 mins after.

Couldn’t have asked for a better day!

The experience from start to finish was amazing! All the animals looked happy and well cared for, any staff we bumped into were so friendly and helpful answering any questions about the animals we had, nothing seemed to much!
