Are tickets cheaper online?

What is not included?

How will I receive my tickets?

What's On - Activities and Highlights

RHS Garden Wisley is a good fit for families who want a slower-paced day out with plenty to see without feeling rushed. You can move between formal gardens, open lawns, woodland areas and indoor spaces like the Glasshouse and Hilltop.

The Glasshouse is one of the biggest highlights, with tropical planting and a waterfall, while RHS Hilltop adds hands-on science and gardening interest to the visit. The Old Laboratory and themed planting areas give you more to explore if you want to make a longer day of it.
