Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew
About
Kew Gardens, officially the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, invites visitors into a living museum of plant science spanning 132 hectares of biodiversity. Daily from 10 a.m. until late afternoon, guests wander through the park’s celebrated glasshouses such as the Victorian Palm House and the larger Temperate House, explore the Treetop Walkway, the Great Pagoda, and the Hive installation, and visit the Royal Botanic collections housed in Kew Palace and the Princess of Wales Conservatory. The gardens also host themed exhibitions, guided walks, and educational programmes for all ages. Summer brings the largest influx of visitors, so early bookings are a wise choice to secure entry into the most popular attractions.
