Lovely theatre with excellent view of stage even from the back row of the circle.
Fascinating Aida were their usual brilliant selves and the addition of Michael playing some of the piano accomp’s and being a generally good sport was great.

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

We have seen the National Memorial Aboretum grow from a soggy site to the magnificent development it is today. Including the hugely impressive Armed Forces Memorial there are tributes to so many groups from the moving 'Shot At Dawn' to the simple Dinkirk memorial to the Burma Railway tribute. Everyone should go.

We were lucky enough to visit on Armed Forces Day and there was lots going on. It was great to see all the veterans displaying their medals. The place itself is so well maintained and is a credit to all the staff. Will definitely visit again.

Lovely, thought provoking place that trys to involve children, help them understand their past. The train ride is well worth it. The gardens are always changing with news ones being created

A vast complex comprising memorial gardens dedicated to many organisations...not only military ones.
Hundreds of species of trees sensitively planted.A road "train" with the ability to carry wheelchairs.
Good cafes..also picnic areas
Friendly and knowledgeable staff

This is a place everyone should go to to learn about how others have given up so much for us today. There are over 300 memorials to all sorts of organisations not just military If don't feel like walking, there is transport around the site. At present there is a lot of new building going on but it will be finished by November 2016 but it's no problem getting round at present and all the services are there.Be aware hot food is not served until Noon but it's good when you get it

A wonderful place to visit free entry but donations welcome. Lots of walking but plenty of seats. I defy anyone not to be moved and emotional . Good reasonably priced restaurant. Best to rent an audio guide to learn more. A land train and buggies available for the less mobile

This is a fascinating place with memorials to many different people and organisations. We visited with my elderly father and took a trip on the land train to see the bulk of the park. This was charged (but overall entry is free) and well worthwhile, unless you want to walk over long distances. Finding particular memorials of interest may not be easy. so be sure you know where you're heading before you set off from the Visitors' Centre.
We had some soup for lunch but were disappointed by the mean serving of bread. Servings of tea were too small too

Friends took myself and my wife to the NA. Apart from the sheer number of memorials to visit, the shop, amenities, cafe and restaurant were all very good - the place was immaculately clean and well cared for. My first and main impression was of relief - I'd feared that the whole thing would be mawkish, sentimentally nationalist, and verge on the bombastic. It was considerably more restrained and respectful. I still find it odd that it is a collection of memorials - there are no actual burials - and that somehow sums up my innate reservation about the place. It is a stage set for eliciting memory and feeling, tactfully left for the visitor. What bubbles up is left to them. But a little unnerved to find the Orange Order were visiting on the same day. With so much bubbling and seething away in the UK today, I was not so surprised to hear that a visitor attraction built to cater for 30,000 people a year was now receiving 300,000 visitors a year. However one feels about it, a place that captures the zeitgeist.
