Wonderful visit. Too large to go around in one day but simply wonderful. So many memorials and ones that you likely had never heard of. Absolutely marvellous, it is a must visit.

Went to the NM Arboretum mid-week, midday, just before the November 2020 lockdown. Not too busy and well organised car parking. The visitors centre was clean and well run.
The grounds are very interesting, particularly if you have a keen interest in the Armed Forces or a connection to them.
Would recommend the "train" around the grounds first (45 minutes approx) as you get a good idea of the layout and can then walk around at your leisure.
We spent about 3 hours there but could probably have done a little bit longer.
Good value.

Illuminated Arboretum night I went to. Everything done fantastic, Social distancing A+. It was an amazing experience, very humbling and beautifully done.
I have one gripe and that was the refreshment section half way round, paid alot of money and the food and drink was awful. Hot chocolate (dishwater) and dried up mince pastries. Did not ruin my experience of this beautiful place.

Even on a dull day like today (21st December 2020) the NMA is a great place to visit. The covid controlled and safe environment makes for a stress free visit. Well done to the NMA team and thank you for remaining open in these difficult times.

What a glorious place to remember all those lost to us and acknowledge how they served their country. It is beautifully laid out, with an air of serenity that shows respect and admiration for all those who have served. It was a grey day, and despite Covid restrictions which were well organised the day was well worth it.

My son really wanted to visit the NMA for his birthday and after going online realised you had to book due to Covid 19. Unfortunately there were no slots available for the weekend as it was only a few days before. I contacted theArboretum to see if we could possible attend and then emailed back saying we could under the circumstances and we had a very happy birthday boy! We visited on the Saturday and was welcomed warmly, did all the Covid secure check in and was shown around the map and help to plan our day. We started off at the coffee shop with a hot chocolate and started to explore. The volunteers were really helpful and knowledgeable and the kids enjoyed learning the secret whispering of the national memorial. We had a lovely day reflecting and looking at the monuments and learning a lot more about our military history. We spend 3 hours there but could have spent longer and will definitely be returning.

Although we’ve been before it seemed fitting to go today on 11 /11 as we had the opportunity. With Covid we had to pre book but it was well organised and no queuing or overcrowding. We had no idea there was a Royal visit planned today for the memorial service.
The whole place is thoughtfully planned out and extremely moving.
There are acres to walk around with lots of memorials to visit to commemorate so many fallen hero’s and those who served in the distant past and more present day. A very humbling place and one to be enjoyed by young and old.
Facilities are good and inexpensive, the restaurant was closed due to the current lockdown but there’s an outside coffee shop for drinks and snacks.
The path ways are good and suitable for wheelchair access but Wear comfortable shoes suitable for walking on the grass to be able to read some of the plaques and to walk down “The Beat” which is a wide aisle of trees commemorating police officers who have been killed in the line of duty.
Lest we forget!

A very humbling experience we had today, lost for words on how beautiful the grounds are and beautiful memorials, great staff who have tremendous pride in helping visitors. This was our first visit and will be returning annually, also I’d like to add that there’s lots to keep children happy and entertained. (Please leave donations as museums and memorials need every penny they can get) Wonderful place, words cannot describe!

Not a lot to say tbh an incredible place with great staff for some personal reflection and to remember them lost serving there county
The only down side is the restaurant is extremely expensive for what it’s producing and for a site cited buy veterans old and young this could be better
