This place is pretty amazing. Took the kids for the Stick Man trail, which was really good. We missed large sections as kids got tired (it is a lot of walking). Really nicely kept place. Worth visiting, especially as all you pay for is the car park.

Sublime just doesn’t quite hit the mark here! Top tip, book your parking online before you go and save yourself a few pounds. Otherwise, enjoy this beautiful, emotive, and beguiling place. So serene and yet so very moving, seeing all the tributes and memorials to our invaluable services.

The staff, majority volunteers, are so very welcoming, accommodating and warm. The facilities are excellent and the cafe well worth a sit, cuppa and cake, especially on a sunny day whilst you take in the surroundings.

I was there whilst the Submariners Memorial took place and what a sight that was to be beholden.

Restrooms: Really clean, easily accessible

Dog-friendliness: Lots of dogs around and are all very welcome

Picnic area: Great facilities and a perfect place to absorb the surroundings. Highly recommended

Went here with my partner today to look around it really is such a well kept place everything is so beautifully laid out it was really thourght prevoking and peaceful but there was one thing that let it down the way i was spoken to by the driver or assistant on the land train me and my partner were trying to decide on which way to go and the man came over and offered his assistance i said we should go one way as the other was out the way the man replied what do you mean out the way so i explained what i meant i said well that way is back by the car park and then he repeted himself and said what do you mean out the way it was the tone in which he used and how he said it that i didnt like i dont know if i caused offence in some way or if he thourght i meant something by it but that was not my intention at all you dont go somewhere like that and be offensive i didnt pull him up on the way in which he spoke because one it wasnt the place and two i dont know if he is ex forces and i didnt want to be disrespectful towards him but had that of been anywhere else i would of said something back i know that somebody reads these reviews and i dont want the man getting in trouble but staff really be mindful on how you talk to guests because for the whole day it made me think of what i had done or said to be spoken to like that or if i caused offence.

Excellent experience. I have been here many times before. Always clean, welcoming, and educational. I would advise you to check before you come if there are any special events on as it can get incredibly busy and best to book parking in advance.

Playground: Small sensory playground and stick man trail.

Restrooms: Male, female, and accessible facilities. Extremely clean and tidy.

Dog-friendliness: Dogs welcome on leads.

Picnic area: Tables and chairs near the main building/entrance. Various benches around and grass for blankets.

Really needs a full day to get round all the memorials,pay for your parking online, food nice and not too expensive but the money is going to the upkeep of the Arboretum.Helpful staff.

Enjoyed a day here with a local group. It is a beautiful place to visit . There are so many amazing memorials to see in such a beautiful setting. The armed forces Memorial was especially thought provoking. We went on the land train which gave a good commentary as we travelled around and then spent time wondering at our leisure. Several members also hired mobility scooters for the day. There are lots of volunteers all around the site who were really friendly and informative. Lunch in the restaurant was good and excellent value for money.
Entry is free, land train was £7.50 and hire of mobility scooters £10 for the day.
All in all an excellent day out.

Despite the importance of the Arboretum as a national memorial, it is also a really beautiful place to visit. Lovely staff, restaurant and well stocked shop on site.

A place to be alone with your thoughts and memmories, and close to those you've lost!!

The staff we're so caring and friendly, and the video loop in the theatre was so thought provoking, it moved me to tears 😢

From the first time we went 16 years to now, what a change great job done by all. When you go round look at what the other religions did to make this world safer, muslims, Sikhs, Christians, what a great place. Schools should be able to take the pupils round without prejudice of religion.

A beautiful place to remember the people who fought for us to keep us liberated from tyranny.

Dog-friendliness: You can take your dog with you. They have a dog friendly cafe outside. There is a cafe inside but there is limited tables for people with dogs. The only places you can't go are the children's play areas, and The Armed Forces Memorial.

Picnic area: There is plenty of space to take something to eat with you. Plenty of benches to sit on. Or there's cafés there if you prefer to do that.
