Beautiful and peaceful. Would recommend for a quiet, calm place to come alone or with family to learn and appreciate.
Playground: Small but appropriate for the venue.

A wonderful place of Remembrance, very moving and emotional. Very friendly helpful staff. The little Train ride worth using to give an overview of the grounds. Good facilities for all visitors with cafe, displays and rest rooms. I short service held in the Chapel twice each day. To explore on foot is best way and you could easily spend a whole day visiting the many Memorials to those who have served in the Military and those who lost their lives in service.
Toilets: Good toilets in the main entrance building and cafe areas
Dog-friendliness: Dogs welcome but must be kept on the lead.

A wonderful place commemorating war heroes. It is worth booking a day and seeing everything in a leisurely way, and the area is quite large.

I was there with some ex-Royal Artillery soldiers. It was my first time. Wonderful experience & gardens. Really worth a visit.

Beautiful and moving tribute to the fallen.

Such a poignant place for reflection and contemplation amongst the peaceful setting , the irony that the peace sits in juxtaposition to the conflict experienced by many who have lost their lives war, it is impossible to not be moved , the great Wilfred Owen says "war is futile", how many more lives are to be lost not only in our county but around the world before we can celebrate compassion and kindness instead of needing rituals to weep and remember those who had never been intended to go when they did.

We had the most amazing day, Geoff was our buggy driver for the day. He was very knowledgeable and helped us see everything at the Arboretum. The memorials are so emotional and so varied. We cried and laughed all day. Stick Man was also there with all his friends for the children to find.

The National Memorial Arboretum offers an exceptional experience for a family day out, with its over 100-acre landscape filled with unique and thoughtfully designed memorials dedicated to fallen soldiers and service personnel. Each monument tells a story and stands as a respectful tribute, making the experience both impactful and educational.
Customer service stands out as exemplary. When I inquired about a multi-faith prayer area, the receptionist was incredibly accommodating, going above and beyond to help me find a suitable space. This attention to visitor needs is appreciated, though having a dedicated multi-faith room would be a valuable addition for the diverse backgrounds of people who visit the arboretum.
Parking cost £6 on my visit, and admission was free. The site also includes a well-stocked gift shop and a spacious restaurant area with indoor and outdoor seating, providing ample options for dining or relaxing. A sunny day enhances the visit, as the grounds are best enjoyed with clear skies.
Highly recommend this as a meaningful and memorable outing!
Toilets: Plenty of toilet including disable ones in the building. Porter potty around to site.

Such an emotional day. We arrived, just as thousands of motorbikes did, for their annual Ride To The Wall. And the day ended with an amazing couple of flyovers by the Lancaster
