Attraction Information

Discover a world full of science and wonder, with Kew Gardens' Royal Botanic Gardens. They have over 50,000 living plant collections that are found across their UNESCO World Heritage Site. A must-see for nature lovers and those who love science!

Kew Gardens
There’s so much to see like the botanical garden collections and many activities to delve into. How about visiting the Japanese Landscape, where you can discover the art of the garden with its beautiful nature and gravel gardens? Absorb the tranquil environment around you, visit the traditional tea garden and feel in unison with the plants and nature around.
Or take a walk through the dramatic valley holding a collection of wild plants from 6 mountainous regions around the world, in the Rock Garden, originally constructed in 1882! Did you know that over 70% of the plants grown in the Rock Garden were from wild-collected seeds?

Also at Kew Gardens, you'll learn incredibly fascinating facts about the nature around us and the fact that there is over 12,000 species of grass globally! If you want to discover something truly remarkable, find the Palm House and explore a wilderness paradise of tropical plants, indoor rainforest and the most threatened environments in the world. Learn the plant names in the Royal Botanic Gardens, and explore the tropical botanical collections in the Palm House that you won't find here in the UK. Did you know rainforests only cover 2% of the world's surface but account for 50% of the world's species?!

Then find the Duke's Garden, a beautiful walled garden that flourishes with pretty flowers and creates a stunning walkway from the months of May to June.  And end the day with an adventure into the high-altitude territory of the Davies Alpine House. Experience the harsh weather conditions, and the cool, dry and windy environments that help alpine plants thrive - they’re some of the most resilient plants in the world! Channel your inner environmentalist and become one with nature, learn about the plant world around you and all the plant names as you discover more at Kew Gardens! Explore the historic landscape garden and find Kew Garden's Turner's Oak tree and learn the story of how the Great Storm in 1987 destroyed 15 million trees...but not this one.

Then discover the living plant collection at Kew Gardens, which sets a botanic garden apart from a standard garden. As its plant collections to be observed, researched, conserved and for education purposes. Here you can admire the carnivorous plant collection where there are 5 of the largest carnivorous genera! Ever wanted to see a bonsai tree in person? Kew Gardens has it, acres of woodland with deciduous and coniferous woody trees. And if you love aquatic environments, check out the aquatic collection where you can see water lilies, water lotus' and more. But if you really love flowers, then you have to explore the Island Flora collection in an exotic garden, with beautiful, colourful and stunning flowers for you to feast your eyes on. It's a floral paradise!

Kew Gardens Food & Drinks

This wonderful family-friendly attraction teaches you about the importance and dependence on plants that animals and humans have.
