I went to Kew with my daughter and grandchildren. On the whole we had a great day even though it was a rainy cold day. I have just one complaint. I need a gluten free diet. At lunchtime I had a delicious butternut squash curry which I and my daughter really enjoyed. Later in the afternoon we decided to stop for coffee and cake..there was no GF option, I was told there had been but they had sold out. There wasn’t even a GF ready wrapped biscuit. Poor show I’m afraid and the chocolate muffins that my GC had were dry and hard..shame

Good day out with a teen and a 10 and 6 year old. Reasonable prices, and car park was good, right next to the entrance. The site is large, so use your map to plan your day. Good children's area and the food is not overpriced for the venue. Would happily go back again

Nice walk around and loved the greenhouse.
Only negative was the coffee and cake
- coffee far too hot and lemon cake had come out the fridge and was very unpleasant, and definitely not worth £4.50 a slice

No parking since government put in place a cycle lane along the perimeter so not easy to get to. Orchid exhibition lack lustre this year. Food overpriced.

Keep Gardens was the first place I visited at a jet lagged child visiting London from Australia and I’ve returned every trip since.
We arrived just in time for the last entry, but we still had plenty of time to see the stunning gardens.
We missed out on some of the indoor areas as they closed earlier, but we have seen them before.
The gardens were quiet and peaceful. We had a day entry ticket before returning around an hour and a half after closing for Christmas at Kew.

Wow. Not our first visit but really quite an amazing place, especially the glasshouses and the orchid display. Not cheap, but worth the price of the entrance ticket for sure. Be sure to climb the upper levels.

What a load of crap this day was. Don’t be fooled by the tour of the grounds in a train cart thing, it’s cramped and overpriced, as are the restaurants and cafe’s - seriously can’t believe we spent the best part of £50 to look around a massive garden. Absolute ripoff, would have a better time waking round St James or Hyde Park for free. Won’t be coming back again!!

We are very lucky to live nearby and often go to Kew Gardens. It's an amazing place whether you want to visit with your family and children or just by yourself. This kind of place heals your mind and lights your soul.

We have been to Kew many times over the years and have seen a steady decline in quality and value for money.
The orchid festival used to be a spectacular event with orchids covering every surface of the conservatory. This year was a much poorer experience, what there was wasn't awful just inferior to previous.
The catering has become odd. There used to be an accessible restaurant near the temperate house which was good for families. A mix of light meals, salads, cakes etc. now there is the pavilion bar and grill. This offers more selective meals at a hugely inflated price. £18 buys you a burger meal, ok you might think that's London prices and, if it's good, you'll accept that and move on. What came out was a small burger that wasn't very tasty with some cheese and the usual toppings. All of which could have come from the local budget supermarket. McDonald's would be embarrassed to serve it. Plus about 12 chips in a small bowl. Honestly, i thought that they had given us children's meals by mistake.
The moral of the story is don't come without a picnic unless you want to be poorer and disappointed.

Outrageously expensive! Especially the cafe which offers a small selection of junk food at extortionate prices.
A family day out cost about £160!
