We recently visited the National Memorial Arboretum and had a lovely day! If you take your time and have a good look round you could easily spend a full day there. It's free to enter but donations are appreciated and there is a parking charge, £6 on the day or £4 if you book in advance. Its a very large site so be prepared to get your steps in, we thought we wouldn't need our pushchairs but ended up going back for them half way through. You can book on a land train tour or a buggy ride around the site as well. There's something for the whole family including a Stick Man trail and small playground for little ones. There's even a little children's library in the cafe which is a really nice touch. The whole site is extremely well kept and is very thought provoking. It's a must see! Overall, a great day and we're already planning to return.

This is somewhere that I feel everyone should visit. I went with other family members and it was an emotional day. It’s a sham we did not visit before. Because we will be visiting again

This place is just out of this world! It has been well thought about as there are lots of things to see, cater for children really well with the different play areas and was impressed with the sensory play area. Lots of memorials to see and each one has a fascinating story behind it. Would recommend a trip on the land train as there is lots to see but are given information about memorials & gardens whilst slowing down or stopping via land train. All staff at this venue are so helpful and friendly - nothing is too much trouble. The customer service at this venue is absolutely excellent! Cannot fault anything at all.

We went to visit several sites, including the BSAP, RAF and the main areas. All areas are clearly marked and easy to find. the grounds are tidy and well kept.

Well laid out area. Easy to walk around. Recommend taking the Land Train on your first visit as there is a lot of information gained from the onboard commentary. Plenty of seating at various points around the area. Good cafeteria and helpful, knowledgeable staff.

The only cost is £6 to park in the very well organised car park. A beautiful place with so many stunning memorial pieces to see. A vast area, but there is a land train tour for those less physically able. So well presented, so peaceful..........so moving. There are plenty of helpful guides around if you would like more background information.
We had lunch in the restaurant......2 very nice good quality sandwiches, hot chips, 2 cakes and 2 hot drinks for just over £19, which we didn't feel was unreasonable. There is also a coffee shop.
The gift shop was a little pricy. I would've purchased some postcards, but I didn't feel the photographs on them truly reflected the beauty of the place.....the photos I took with my phone were much nicer.
Our visit lasted 2.5 hours, however you could spend no end of time walking, looking, reading and reflecting. A lovely place to spend time.
