Spent a wonderful half day at Kew Gardens, exploring the beautiful glasshouses and the charming Kew Palace. A peaceful, picturesque spot that I highly recommend!

Kew Gardens is a vast, stunning park filled with incredible glass pavilions and other must see structures. To fully appreciate its beauty and explore everything it has to offer, spending two days there provides a more relaxed and enjoyable experience. Thankfully, we had the time to do just that, and it was truly worth it. A perfect place to immerse yourself in nature’s splendor.

While the gardens are beautiful, the overall experience was underwhelming. The additional fee for the internal train ride felt unnecessary after paying for an expensive entrance ticket. Some areas were overcrowded, making it hard to enjoy the tranquility. The food options were limited and overpriced, which was disappointing for such a renowned attraction.

Spent 4 wonderful hours at Kew Gardens and had an amazing experience. It’s the perfect weekend getaway from the hustle and bustle of London. Picking up tickets at the booth was quick and hassle free. The conservatories were stunning, and the fresh, earthy aroma of the greenery was indescribable. Enjoyed some quick bites, and while the food was decent, the beauty of the surroundings made up for it. A truly rejuvenating visit!

The Glasshouses and The Hive installations were mesmerizing, offering a unique blend of nature and art. I wish I had more time to explore their beauty fully. However, it would have been better if the ticket price included the ride on the internal train rather than requiring an extra payment. Overall, a stunning experience that could be made even better with a few adjustments.
