    I wish I had planned a bit better because it took so long to get over to Kew Gardens and it's…read morereally beauty that needs about a half day to walk around in, so we ended up having to cancel our plans to see a second play to fully enjoy it. Don't buy your Kew Gardens tickets through Get Your Guide. You have to wait in the same line as purchasing regular tickets so it saves you no time and actually costs you more time than just buying them through their website. You're able to bring in food and water, which is fantastic if you're planning to stop by Ginger Pig and make a picnic out of it, which we did. The space is really pretty and their hot houses are delightful so make sure to bring your walking shoes and enjoy yourself!

    This was a beautiful opportunity to get close to nature and enjoy quality time with my family where…read morethere was something for everyone. Kew Gardens- yeah I know - Metropolitan Ave, right between Forest Hills and Richmond Hill/Jamaica and 22 minutes from New York city; well this is the original, the Kew Gardens 22 minutes from London in the United Kingdom with a 22 pound( that's 30 dollars US )admission for adults and $8 US equivalent for kids up to age 15 , which I thought was awesome and so worth it. What we enjoyed - 37 acres of nature- wildflowers, tall grasses and beautiful trees. Shaded walkways as we witnessed gorgeous butterflies and dragonflies in their natural habitat. Comfy shoes please!!!!!!!! Suggestion- hire a tour guide for 20 pounds for the group ( that's $26 US) - worth it as they know which sites are popular, busy and their knowledge about the history of the trees and flowers is precious. Maximize your time here!!!! Then on to the Alpine House where we loved seeing some of the most resilient plants in an Artic induced environment. The best part of the day - the Hive - a recreation of a real beehive with the real sound that is 63 feet high( photo) with over 1500 LED lights and music symphony responding to the sounds in C- the very key the bees buzz in. You have to also get to the top of the 160 feet Great Pagoda for some nice photos. Thank you Kew Gardens for being open year round and having so much for the grandkids who are still buzzing ( fun pun) about it. You will need the full day to experience every awesome aspect here. They are open from 10-7.( The Hive closes at 6). Please buy your tickets online to save time. Furthermore get the subway or tube day or 3 day pass to avoid the lines or US credit card processing delays at the machines at the stations. Public transportation especially the tube or subway here in London is absolutely stellar. Parking here is crazy and expensive. So yes take the tube or taxis are $68-70 from Central London. Great day here! Fully recommend Kew Gardens as a must stop.

Between a couple of hedges, there's a half open gate which might imply that it's a private garden. Far from it, this is completely open to the public. But good luck finding it! Through the aforementioned gate, down a path and around a turn, there it is. A perfect English garden. No one quite knows as much about these gardens as an Englishman! Even quieter and more sedate than a walk through Regent's Park, you would hardly know that you're here in the capital of one of the largest cities in Europe. There are no sirens here. No buses going past. No loud motorcycles. Just peace and quiet. A small slice of heaven. Perfectly manicured grass, plants that have been cared for and a shady spot where you can sit and reflect. I love it. If only I could find it again!

It reminds me of a secret garden because of it's quiet and serene nature that seems to be untouched. You enter through a iron gate and stroll along under arches above covered in green that leads you into a beautiful English garden. This is a wonderful place to go to relax and absorb the beautiful surroundings.

After touring the building for 90 minutes I judged it as a ho-hum experience. I'm a RHS member. Visited the 1st members only day. The place was packed with a shoulder to shoulder horde. So crowded it was impossible to jockey a space to see some of the demonstration gardens. Way too many tickets we're sold. Disappointing. I'll never visit again.

    Walking down memory lane and looking at old photos reminded me of my visit in 2019 to this annual…read moreflower show. Let me tell you that this show is popular! I had the General Admission ticket and the line to get into the show was long, but moved along. Some exhibits took place outside, while many took place inside. There's no rhyme, rhythm, or flow. People come and go in all directions, making it slightly overwhelming. Some of my favorites included treehouses, this sculpture made of straws and flowers, and the exotic plants such as the Venus fly trap. There's an area where they sold food with long lines at each food vendor. Nothing to write home about, but definitely helpful because no one likes to be hangry. Restrooms were plentiful and lines moved quickly. Before the exit, there's an area of vendors selling knick knacks, plants, home goods, and etc. Overall, a good first, and probably last experience with this flower show. #16/2020
