Surpassed our expectations and much bigger than I expected. A beautiful place with so many fitting tributes, information and places to just “be”. The team work hard to maintain the grounds.
I wasn’t sure if it would be child friendly but it absolutely is and a place for young minds to learn what our forces did for our country.
Restaurant and cafe offering everything you could wish for too!

My Husband and myself thoroughly enjoyed our visit. The Arboretum is a lovely peaceful place to visit. There are lots of lovely walks, everything is well maintained and the staff were very informative and helpful. There is a nice restaurant and coffee shop and a gift shop which caters for all ages. We spent approx 4 hours here, but could have spent a lot longer, we are hoping to return in the near future.

My favourite place ever. There is a real sense of peace here and it is very emotional to walk around and really remember. More school trips should be taken here. I think it could potentially solve a lot of problems. All the staff are lovely and helpful. Please remember to donate also.
The restaurant is really good, abit pricey so I hope some of the profit goes to the memorial.

I have visited the National Memorial Arboretum several times. It never fails to touch me. Ever changing, new memorials being added. Too much to take in in a day. Staff friendly and professional. Good restaurant and shop. Free entry, you are asked to make a donation. Car parking charges. Check before you go. In case there is a service or special occasion being remembered.

This place is worth a visit for those who haven't been, have you walking shoes on as the Arboretum is spread over a vast area, you can get a land train tour which give you a talk about each memorial that you pass, all the details about why the memorial is there, there are plots there for the unexpected, it is not just for the forces, after hours of walking, there is a fabulous restaurant for lunch or just a snack, enjoy it's well worth it

Had visited twice before, this time we had more time to spend here. A lot had changed in 5 years. First we had a ride on the land train to get our bearings excellent value for money. Didn't realise how large the area covered. It is so moving and interesting. We had a sandwich in the restaurant which was lovely and the best coffee we had had in ages. Arrived at 10am and left at 4.15pm.

My father took us here to see a memorial that had his name on. A very beautiful place. Quiet, calm, a chance to think and reflect. My 2 daughters, aged 7 and 9 really enjoyed walking around and looking at all of the memorials, not all dedicated to war.
Beautifully kept, wonderful restaurant serving a variety of food. Will go back again as we didn't get to see everything.

In October 2017, Denartes said about National Memorial Arboretum
Went here over the weekend and found it a fascinating place to visit.Thete are 150 acres and 300 memorials to see. There is a land train with commentary which will take you round which costs £6 And it's well worth going on this and maybe choosing a few memorials to visit in greater detail.There is a lovely restaurant serving decent price meals and snacks. The cost of admission is £7.50 or £6 for concessions
A place well worth a visit

In November 2014, Christine O said about National Memorial Arboretum
A beautiful time to visit on a bright sunny crisp day where a bowl of hot soup in the restaurant is welcoming after a lovely walk on flat even paths. The memorials are thoughtfully laid out with my personal favourite being the recent addition of the Women's Land Army & Timber Corp. The £3 all day parking charge and free entry makes it exceptional value day out.
