We had prebooked tickets for the land train, so had to go despite the rain. We were in time for the 2 minute silence, held every day, and then had our train ride. Despite the rain, it was good - very helpful in getting an overview of the arboretum. After lunch in the 'restaurant', the rain had stopped, and we were able to walk to some of the memorials we wished to see. However, the ground was sodden, and there were huge puddles everywhere, so we didn't stay as long as we had hoped.

We went on a clear cold February Day.
The train wasn't running but we were lucky enough to be driven by John on a Golf Cart.He was incredibly knowledgeable know a variety of facts.
The various memorials are truly inspirational and thought provoking.
The use of wood in the public areas ties the whole Arboretum together.
Restaurants were of a good standard with lots of choice.
Well worth a visit.

We had a a lovely day at the arboretum, we first went around on the little train £7, we then decided what we were going to see first. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable, plenty of places to sit quietly and reflect. We used the restaurant for lunch which was reasonably priced. You can have a lovely day out which won’t cost the earth as it is free to enter. You could take a picnic, to keep the costs down. Well worth a visit.

The location of theatre is really good some restaurants and bars near by and shopping area on the door step. Parking situation is really good also free on a Sunday & car park is cheap
The theatre itself is a nice size for a performance and you could sit anywhere and get a good view downstairs. I personally found the seats a little on the small side but that’s my preference.
Thoroughly enjoyed the show we went to watch.

This is a truly beautiful place. The garden's are laid out really well
It is a great tribute to all remembered there. The staff are the nicest and most helpful you could wish to meet. The walks are very enjoyable, some quite long. As this was my first visit I didn't realise the scale of the place. There's a very nice restaurant that is by no means over priced and a coffee shop that I didn't get to but will on my next visit. Car parking is easy and fairly priced. Most definitely worth a visit.

A most enjoyable visit despite the rain. The volunteers could have not been more friendly and helpful. Because of the rain we opted for the land train and buggy trip so did not do a great deal of walking. Which means we will have to visit again to see those areas we missed yesterday. A very moving experience.
The coffee shop and restaurant were very good and a lot cheaper than Kew Gardens.

Although very wet on the day we visited, it's such a beautiful place. The grounds and individual gardens and monuments are well kept and respectfully maintained and there is a lot of information available as you go around. There are galleries, a gift shop and a museum which are enjoyable. The restaurant has a good menu, clean and freshly cooked food and plenty of space to sit. This is The second time my family and I have visited and we are keen to go again.

We had a great Father day here. My step dad loved it and so did my 9 year old son! My son is a little historian on WW1 and WW2. He got very upset but he cant wait to visit again tomorrow. There are some beautiful memorials to see.
There is a lovely restaurant and gift shop and there is a little train that takes you around the arboretum.
A lovey day out, that everyone should visit

Absolutely wonderful. Beautifully landscaped and wèll designed for wandering around unrushed. Very knowledgeable attendants are always on hand to offer additional information on any of the memorials. Wheelchairs are available to hire making it very accessible for all. You need a full day here to fully appreciate all the memorials. Although entrance to the main park is free it well worth paying to view the displai in the vìsitor centre. The food in the restaurant is very good.
