Truly a magnificent memorial that I believe everyone should visit at least once in their lifetime to honour all those sacrifices that have been made by the armed forces and civilian services of this country and those of the commonwealth. Truly remarkable memorials and the many thousands of trees from all corners of the World stand so proud for those they represent. The staff are all so caring, knowledgeable and can tell you empowing stories, along with sadness, pain and loss. A must visit. Thank you. XO

This place is amazing. Wonderful atmosphere and so much space. This was our second visit and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Our granddaughter loved doing The Stick Man Trail and using the two playgrounds. I would love to have given you 5 stars but unfortunately my granddaughter needed the toilet quickly and the nearest one was a portaloo. Oh my goodness, it was truly disgusting. There was no way we could use it. She had to go in the bushes! Please clean your loos more often then you’ll get 5 stars.

Absolutely fabulous! So moving at all the memorials. It's a 150 acre site, there's a train to go round on if you have trouble walking. There's also a lovely cafe.
Dog friendly too (although not inside the cafe. There were eating places outside ). well worth a visit.

What a great place. It's really well designed and it's tasteful. Really brings home how free and fortunate we are.

I have a mixed feeling in regards to the National Memorial Arboretum. Whilst it is a lovely place to pay your respects to a range of professions and people, to thank those who fought for us, to remember those who have passed it didn't feel as sober as I had expected.
Maybe this is the intention and it is designed to be more of a celebration of those we have lost than a sorrow affair. The children's play area for instance felt strange but then it was surrounded with the memories of youngsters who have passed so did, kind of, make sense.
Overall though it's a must visit. Even if it's just to see every name of those who have fought for this country and, sadly, the huge space left to fill, everyone should visit, it's the least we can do to say, thank you.
A coffee shop and large canteen is available on site as is a gift shop at the usual prices.
Parking: There is a pay and display (£4 at time of writing) car park and an overflow car park a couple of minutes from the memorial.
Accessibility: whilst much of the memorial is on the flat a lot is over grass. A manual wheelchair user would struggle so an electric or scooter on slow speed recommended.
