Went with friends and family children 8 & 11 they loved looking for the flowers on the trail excellent way to get them motivated to explore the whole site joined in the music workshop such a good idea as being able to play musical instruments is a luxury these days and they loved crafting their spring pictures and planting their seeds to bring home
Every time we visit there is always something new to find and do such good value for money and history to learn

We had a lovely time looking at the various memorial gardens. We could quite happily have spent a good half a day there but unfortunately we just had a quick pit stop whilst travelling home down South.
We did have a hot chocolate and cake in the restaurant which was really good. I'd recommend a visit.

We visited the day after the Remembrance Service had been held . It was a beautiful sunny morning, but there weren't many people there.
We took a train ride to get an overview of the site, which passes most of the memorials. Each one is moving in its own right.
At just before 11am we went into the chapel for the daily remembrance ceremony. This is non-denominational and very moving. It only takes a few minutes, then there's a short talk about the arboretum from one of the volunteers.
Later we walked to see a few of the memorials. Particularly significant to us was the Far East memorial, as we've visited the Death railway, the Bridge over the R Kwai, and the site of Changi jail in Singapore.
The cafe serves good food at reasonable prices.
We'll return next spring to see the trees in leaf and visit more memorials.

Its a large site, and particularly at this time of year you need your boots on as many monuments are not on paths. It is well worth walking around if you can, as you are reading plaques at every turn, and seeing so many different memorials to many aspects of war, as well as commemorating some civilian elements as well. The South East Asia building was particularly poignant, as was 'shot at dawn'.
Really clever and ingenious sculptures and designs, its really a full day out to see it all.
The cafe and visitors centre were good. My only gripe was that the guidebook was outdated as new memorials had been added. Perhaps an updated map (showing the ditches, which caught us out) could be handed out on arrival? Its free to go in, but you pay car parking and for a guide. We camped nearby and walked over from Willowbrook Campsite.
An important site, commemorating for a nation, and which will grow in importance and relevance as time passes.
