On our first visit today we thought the NMA was marvellous, predominantly as a place for remembrance, but also for the architecture, sculpture and landscape. We were surprised and moved to see so many very young people some of whom were obviously grieving for those lost in recent conflicts. The NMA was providing a place of beauty and meaning for people to be able to come to grieve and remember. The volunteers added tremendously to our visit by their readiness to help and to give us information. We started our day with the 10.50am visit to the Chapel and the Service of Remembrance which provided an excellent beginning. We then walked around some of the memorials and spent a lot of time at the Armed Services Memorial which we thought has been so cleverly designed, very modern, yet drawing on most probably Stonehenge, ancient Egypt and Classical Greece and Rome to create something incredibly poignant for today. We then had lunch in the Restaurant where we found the food to be ideal for what we wanted. We then had a browse round the shop which we thought was tasteful and sold items suitable for the setting. I bought a guidebook and some cards and chocolates. Time was then passing too quickly and we hadn't seen enough so we decided to book a ride in a buggy with a guide. As it was a short November day this was a brilliant way to see a lot more of the NMA in limited time. After this we felt we would have liked to be here longer so our aim is to visit again. Although the NMA is a place of remembrance we experienced it as somewhere very much "alive" and "of today". Overall we were incredibly impressed and I hope my write up does it some justice but such an emotionally moving place has to be experienced personally so do visit!

Very imposing from the outside and amazing carving. Equally splendid on the inside, but wish the outside could be cleaned up. It would be stunning then.

We took the kids here for the open space, the trees in autumn, and the significance of the place. The children's trail takes a track away from the main memorial area and finishes at the top of the path that leads to the main memorial mound.
It's well balanced, the sombre presence against the trees, green fields and open water.
A place to remember family, & the service and sacrifice that makes our peace possible.
The centre has a canteen, galleries and shop. Very well presented. Food and drinks are high quality and good value.

This is a beautiful place to visit, there are some truly moving monuments that not only provide a place to pay your respects and show remembrance, but also shine light on some of the work and suffering that took place historically our past that some may not know even existed.

Bitter - Sweet Wonderful place to go and pay respect to those who have served us all and made the ultimate sacrifice. Very sobering and poignant. Knowledgeable volunteers are on hand to provide info and give tours.
Very good Visitor Centre offering good food.
Free entry except for parking, which is inexpensive, so centre is accessible to all.
