I took advantage of a random nice day in October to visit the Gardens. Even in early fall, they were lovely. My favorite place was The Princess of Wales Conservatory mostly because I like tropical plants. The grounds were really well kept and the bio-diversity on display was amazing. I do wish they had a few more signs but, overall, didn't have much problems getting around. I did come on a Monday and there were very few people around, which was great.
I had an easy way to get here by taking the Tube District Line from my hotel. Then a quick walk through a lovely neighborhood in the village of Kew took me to the Victoria Gate Entrance. No wait times to get in, walked right up and got a ticket.
Unfortunately, they had just switched to winter hours so all the green houses closed at 3pm with the Gardens themselves closing at 4pm, plus several areas were closed for the season - like the Great Pagoda and Queen Charlotte's Cottage. Additionally, they were in the process of transitioning several exhibits so a few of the areas - like the Temperate House, the Treetop Walkway were also closed. Which wasn't the problem - I understand maintenance has to happen. But I wish the attendant who sold me the ticket would have let me know of the closures so I can plan my time more efficiently while there.
But overall I did enjoy a nice day there.
This place will leave you with best memories!
You can see species of trees, plants and flowers from all over the world 🤩
Lots of trails for walking. There is a kids playing ground and a fast food are. A nice restaurant can be found on the spot as well. Paid parking near the entrance of the garden.
We’ve also seen beautiful birds, squirrels and even a fox walking through the park 😊
Highly recommended place for a day spent with your family / kids!
