Overview

Advance booking only

As London’s largest UNESCO World Heritage Site, Kew Gardens is more than just a garden. It’s home to the biggest collection of living plants anywhere on Earth – with a Guinness World Record to prove it! From towering redwoods in the wild Arboretum, to the indoor rainforest of the tropical Palm House, to the floral beauty of the Great Broad Walk Borders, there’s plenty to see whatever the season.

Hop on the Explorer land train or set off on foot to discover over 300 acres of natural wonders. Climb up into the canopy and stroll along the soaring Treetop Walkway, or discover how art and nature connect at The Hive, an interactive installation inspired by the lives of honey bees. Experience Kew’s royal past with a visit to Kew Palace and the Royal Kitchens, or let your future plant scientists and explorers run wild in the Children’s Garden.

No visit is complete without stepping inside Kew’s world-famous glasshouses, including the iconic Temperate House, the largest Victorian glasshouse in the world, containing over 10,000 different plants.

Children under 4 go free.

You’re also free to picnic throughout the Gardens if you’d rather bring a packed lunch.
