Excellent tour with Peta - Visited gardens for the first time and started with a one hour tour. Our guide was Peta and she gave just the right information to go on and visit the areas of particular interest.

Healing place - A healing place for anyone. Great plant species, quite, creative zones with music, friendly birds and lovely sounds. We will come back for events. Definitely a place when you can reflect even by your own or enjoy with friends, family.

Kew Gardens - Couldn’t find a page just for Kew Gardens and felt this was the closest to it. We wanted to let everyone know how great this place was. Plenty to do for families, couples and children. Such a large space for plenty of walking and sight seeing with lots of attractions to visit. Be prepared to queue for the Palm & Temperate House but will be worth it as you will be in awe of the variety of plant species. Top tip - try the amazing ice cream stand located by the pavilion restaurant (you will not regret this) and if your a ‘Blue Light Card Holder’ you can get free entry and only £10 extra to bring a guest. Enjoy!

Sunday in the gardens. And what gardens... - London's parks are all perfect: not a piece of paper thrown on the ground, a pebble out of place or a blade of grass that is too long. At Kew Gardens, in addition to all this perfection, there are greenhouses. Show of Victorian architecture and botanical celebration. Describing it doesn't do it justice: go there!

Rip off, closed at 3pm - Overpriced and most of the attractions were closed during December. Also they kicked everyone out at 3pm before we could even see any Christmas lights. So if you're planning on going there in December you'll just end up seeing dead plants and get kicked out early. On the plus side we did see some geese and at least the greenhouse areas were open. But not worth the price. Oh and the cafe was expensive. They have a single piece of fruit (apple or banana) for £1.50. A gluten free muffin for 5 quid and various other atrociously priced snacks. There was one good canteen there which had freshly made pizza for about a tenner. It was decent but not the best. If you want to eat there I recommend going to the larger canteen not the cafe. In short, it was an "ok" day out but a rip off. I wouldn't bother going again.

Terrible organisation generally to cafe area and Orchid exhibition. - Went yesterday to see the Orchid Exhibition and had a timed access ticket for 1pm. Upon entering the site at 11:30, viewed the then growing queue of people waiting to visit the exhibition but after being told by staff NOT to join the queue until 15 minutes before our allotted time we went to view inside Kew Palace - which unfortunately was closed (apparently doesn't open until 3rd April but no information on the site as to this effect). So come 12:30 we ventured back towards the exhibition area only to see the queue was now approx. 1/2 mile long. After joining the same it look us a further hour to gain entry into the actual glass house. Given that the exhibition had been running nearly a month at this point - surely somebody could see that their arrangements were not working. Two externally located staff members did apologise for the absolute chaos After viewing the beautiful orchids we ventured into one of the café areas only to find more chaos - all so disappointing and mostly unnecessary. WHY give out time allocated tickets if you cannot achieve the goal
