What can I say - absolutely blown Away - loved it - only negative was the queue to get in - but definitely worth it - We were advised by Volunteer Doris to Try the tree walk - I have never walked round anything so quick, hate heights but that's just me - the other 3 I was with loved it - there is so much to do - we will definitely be back - the guy playing the Double Bass was absolutely wonderful - the visit made our weekend - thank you Kew xxx
Visited on 6th May on what turned out to be one of the hottest bank holidays on record. Queues were very long as not all kiosks were open which we found ridiculous. There is not enough places on the far side of the gardens for even a drink of water. My daughter tried to get the children something to eat as we were still there around teatime, she waited in the very long queue for something and as she finally reached the counter she was told that he was closing, even though there was plenty of food still available. She did manage to buy some food after complaining. We all felt that not only are there a lack of places for food and drink, but some of the little kiosks around were shut! Also where are all the rubbish bins around the gardens? We think the staff were totally unprepared for the amount of people that came to see the newly restored glasshouse. More kiosks for just drinks are needed and so are recycling bins for all the plastic you should not be giving out with the food!
Kew at Christmas is the most amazing thing ever, it's a must do for the young or old. I can't rate this high enough it's awesome. I'll be going again next year.x
