Explore one of London’s most memorable family days out with tickets to Kew Gardens. Set across a 320-acre UNESCO World Heritage Site in Richmond, Kew brings together world-famous glasshouses, beautiful gardens, nature play and historic buildings for a day with plenty to discover.
Start with the iconic Palm House and Temperate House, where pathways lead through remarkable collections of tropical and temperate plants. Then head up to the Treetop Walkway for elevated views across the Gardens, before giving younger visitors time to run, climb and explore in the Children’s Garden. Designed for children aged 2 to 12, it turns big nature ideas into hands-on play.
Kew is ideal when your family wants more than a quick walk. There is room to wander at your own pace, find seasonal colour, pause for a café break and choose the parts of the Gardens that suit your day. Galleries and selected historic buildings add another layer to the visit, while Kew Palace is included when it is open.
The Gardens are pushchair-friendly, with accessible facilities and a wide choice of routes, making them a practical option for families with children of different ages. Expect to spend around three to four hours here, although there is easily enough to fill a longer day if you want to take things slowly.
Your daytime ticket includes access to the main Gardens, glasshouses, galleries, the Treetop Walkway and family attractions open on your chosen date. Parking and separately ticketed seasonal or out-of-hours events are not included. Check the latest opening times, entry requirements and any planned closures before travelling.
It is a strong choice for families who want a full outdoor day with space to roam, seasonal interest throughout the year, and plenty of buggy-friendly routes. For more nature-filled family ideas, see our parks and gardens days out.

Kew Gardens is built for families who want more than a quick stroll. You can spend the day moving between glasshouses, gardens, play areas and historic buildings, with enough variety to suit toddlers, older children and adults.
For younger visitors, the Children’s Garden is one of the main highlights. It is designed for children aged 2 to 12 and gives them space to climb, splash, scramble and explore how plants grow through hands-on play.
Kew’s glasshouses are among the biggest reasons to visit. The Palm House and Temperate House are included with standard admission and give you access to rare plants, towering interiors and a very different feel from the outdoor gardens.
The Children’s Garden is designed for children aged 2 to 12. It gives families a dedicated play space where children can run, climb and explore nature-themed zones as part of the main visit.
The Treetop Walkway gives you elevated views across the gardens, while Kew Palace adds a historic stop to the day when open. Together, they help make the visit feel broader than a standard garden trip.
