Amazing place, amazing space. I've seen this grow over the last ten years and it is now a truly world class location. Words and photos don't do it justice - go and visit.

There's always something to see, so many memorials even ones I didn't know exist, the most moving was the shot at dawn. Such a peaceful place too no matter how many people are there, well worth a visit

Well done, the NMA! This is a very special place. You should come here whatever your age or interests and you will seriously get a lot from it. Of course it is a place of reflection and therefore sombre to a degree in places, but it has masses of opportunity for enjoyment and smiles, and it is perfectly suitable for families. Also it is not simply a war memorial - many non-military causes are represented here. Nor is it a static mausoleum - it is alive and vibrant and all the stories you will encounter as you explore are fascinating.
There are indoor exhibitions for those who like that sort of traditional museum experience. There are outdoor paths and a land train if you want a tour. But the winner for me is to wander off the paths and see what I find.
Before I had kids I came here and it was fascinating and moving from an historical and reflective viewpoint, and a lovely place for an outside walk whatever the season. Now I have young kids (3 and 5) and we visited in August. They loved the free Stick Man trail and exploring the woods, spotting the memorials through the trees and looking for wildlife. The two children's play areas are well designed and not too near the main areas of peaceful reflection so they can play without feeling sacrilegious.
We spent 3 hours here and could have happily stayed longer after a refuel at the restaurant, but that can wait for next time. The food looked very tempting.
I have a personal connection to one of the causes being commemorated here, and this is definitely a suitable place for reflection. I feel a lot of pride to be part of a country that has dedicated such a place as this to remembrance.

Easy to get to, good parking space and cheap.Free entry, ( but would need to book the land train or a guide) Perfectly kept grounds, amazing sculptured memorials, lovely place to go to pay respects. , happy, friendly, helpful, informative staff/volunteers. Very dog (and gp) friendly. Will need plenty of time to get round it all (even a second visit)
