    A Green Day Out for All!
    Current
    Never a dull day at Kew Gardens, whatever the weather the gardens look beautiful and there is always something new to see! The glasshouses are great to hide away in if its raining and I can guarantee that once inside the gates of Kew if its a hot day, it will be 3 degrees warmer inside!

    The new Treetop walk is fantastic if a little bit wobbly, it got my heart beating!! There is always a display on, ranging from Henry Moore's giant sculptures to Reindeers at christmas!

    It is well worth becoming a member (for around £60 a year) and you can go every day for free, plus you can just pop in for an hour or two and it doesnt cost a thing! For me, its like a big back garden, I love it, I've even been in the snow and built snowmen, the views over the snow-tipped trees/plants were gorgeous!

    big enough?
    Current
    with over three hundred acres kew gardens certainly has enough. If your going to kew gardens you have to take the Kew's Rhizotron and Xstrata Treetop walkway, it is simply fantastic. you will end up 18 metres in the air so if your afraid of heights you might want to give it a miss. there are a number of heritage trees dotted around the gardens for the enthusiasts out there. Like most places nowadays there is plenty for the kids to do including trail cards which can be picked up at one of the gates. These are not only entertaining but also teach the children about bark etc.

    A day at Kew Gardens
    Current
    A wonderful day out for everyone, spread over more than 300 acres there are a multitude of things to see and do. The gardens are spectacular no matter when in the year you decide to visit. The glass houses and ornamental gardens are a must and if you aren't too scared of heights the new Treetop Walkway allows you to get a unique view. If you do suffer a little vertigo be warned that in windy weather the walkway does move slightly which some may find disturbing.

    I would recommend planning your visit using the planner on the Kew Gardens website so you can relax and enjoy yourself as you are unlikely to be able to see everything in a single visit. If you are taking children, you can find out all the latest activities on the website and there is even an official guidebook for them (Kids' Kew).

    The staff are friendly and helpful and the restaurants and cafes aren't bad either, I love the Victoria Terrace Café with it's selection of teas and cakes.

    If you're interested in horticulture, conservation, wildlife, history (Kew Palace) etc, or you just want a great day out Kew Gardens is the place for you. To do it full justice you definitely need to go.

    Kew Gardens: A Great London day out
    Current
    An underated day out from London to Kew Gardens is the perfect way to get away for it all for a family, restful or romantic day out.

    Kew Gardens is set in 300 acres of beautiful landscape with cunning attractions sprinkled through like the Victorian Temperate Victorian GreenHouses, Lilly Gardens (oddly interesting) and Queen Charlotte's Cottage.
