Spent a lovely few hours in Kew Gardens. Even in early October, many flowers in bloom. Colours were just starting to turn on the trees, lovely vistas everywhere, interesting conservatories. Nice lunch in in Orangery. Highly recommend a visit. Need a few hours.

Absolutely wonderful day out for the entire family, absolutely huge variety of plant life to enjoy! It's all extremely well looked after and all of the staff are so wonderful and well informed! Loads of toilets around and a nice selection of cafés to enjoy! If your deep in to your plants you could easily kill an entire day here!

Beautiful beautiful Kew Gardens! We are members, so go regularly - once or twice a week. Staff are lovely and friendly.

Visited during bank holiday! Perfect weather! Blazing hot sun but that’s fine as there’s loads of places to find and hitch under shade. The park is well kept and looks fantastic. We must’ve walked around for 5-6 hours. The park is really amazing. I took a trolley with me loaded with blankets and food and stuff which was great as there’s no restrictions on that. The family and kids loved the day...
In winter, start in Palm and Temperate Houses to warm up your baby. In summer, visit shaded ponds in the morning when paths are cooler.
