Friendly helpful staff and volunteers . Recommend a visit.

A very moving experience especially on Armistice day, even more so given the sad state of the world.
I also enjoyed a delicious Sunday Roast lunch, probably the best quality on a day out

This needs several visits to appreciate it fully. Beautiful sobering, and thought provoking.

Visited the National arboretum museum today , Remembrance Sunday .
The most horrendous rain fell and seemed it would never stop . At ten minutes to 11 the rain eased and a glimmer of sunlight broke through the clouds like a sign, so moving.
It was our first visit and we will definitely return ,it was beautiful in the rain so I can’t begin to imagine how wonderful it is in the sunshine .
The entire grounds a fitting tribute to those who have paid the ultimate sacrifice so that we can live and be free .

Lovely service for remembrance day but also if you are into the military or a veteran or even just someone who appreciates a nice walk in calming surroundings this place is perfect. They have a restaurant for food and drinks and if you have mobility issues you can hire a scooter, if you want to take it all in you will need a whole day as there are over 400 memorials here. There is a dog walking route but all dogs must be kept on a lead.

Beautiful, peaceful place to reminisce, think of those who fought/fight for us and to pay respect for those who paid the ultimate sacrifice.
Lovely place to visit, educational for children. Lovely shop, exhibitions on, and a land train to book tickets on to be taken round the gardens.
It is over 150 acres so a good pair of walking shoes is advisable.
They have a beautiful Chapel that does a 2min silence 11am, 364 days a year. Only day they close is Xmas Day.
Definately worth a trip!
Restrooms: Immaculate and ample toilets. Disabled friendly also.
Dog-friendliness: Dog friendly, on a lead.

First visit for us, excellent cafe facilities. road train ride very worthwhile as the area is very expansive to walk all around and you get an idea of where you would like to spend more time. New memorial garden opened while we visited, it was very emotional. A must visit for everyone.

A great place of reflection and peace. We visited for the memorial for Sikh soldiers who gave their lives in the Great War organised by Captain Jay Singh Sohal of the British Army Reserve. It was a very moving and poignant ceremony with a one minute silence and the laying of wreaths at 11am

Beautiful place to visit full of poignant experiences. Something for everyone.
I have been there for events for walks and even for birdwatching around the periphery
Playground: Natural wooden structures seemed to be enjoyed by lots of children when I was there
Restrooms: Cleanest restrooms you will ever find
Picnic area: Benched and tables scattered all round the acres of parkland. Plus lots of tables around the precinct

Each time we visit we find things we've not seen before.
The whole area is immaculate and beautifully presented. It's a great tribute to all who have served their country and the supporting organisations but also those in the public sector.
I would recommend a visit to everyone, it is an opportunity to pay respects, say thank you and for quiet reflection in this current world.
Restrooms: The restrooms ,which. are situated in the main building, are immaculate.
Dog-friendliness: Dogs on leads are welcome in all areas.

Amazing place, just up the road from us. Lots of memorials including non forces. We have a roundtable family association garden we pay tribute to every year.

What a fabulous place and even in the pouring rain! Thought provoking but in a different way than our visits to the WW1 & 11 sites in Normandy and Flanders

I think everyone should go and visit to see all of the names of the brave service personnel who gave their lives for us ,so we could be free 😢

Amazing place. So much information about the types of people and jobs required to maintain an army. Wonderful memorials.
The trees will be stunning when fully grown.

A good place to visit, everyone should visit here at least once in a lifetime as it is important to remember the sacrifice made by others whether it’s the armed forces or our public services.
Booked online prior to the day which you pay for parking only, visit to the memorials is free.
Large site arrived at 11:00 left at 16:00 I’m sure you could easily stay longer.
Cafe is really good, reasonably priced but service is a bit slow.
Only real negative is that you park tour car and are asked whether you’ve already paid etc no asking for prove etc so this is just open to dishonesty and the staff should request confirmation I feel.
Lots of places were flooded so large detour was needed, I would recommend wellies or walking boots during this time of year and all routes are accessible for wheelchairs and prams.
