Discover rare and endangered plants - London Family Day Tour

The Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, Kew Gardens, is one of the most famous botanical gardens in the world, located on the banks of the Thames in southwest London. The botanical gardens have rich plant collections, spectacular greenhouse buildings and extensive scientific research resources, making them an ideal destination for nature lovers and family outings. Kew Gardens is also one of the UNESCO World Heritage Sites and has made important contributions to plant conservation and research. It is very suitable for a day trip. We went in at 10:00 in the morning 🏷️From the city center, you can take the underground District Line to Kew Gardens Station, and then walk about 5-10 minutes to arrive. Admission is £20.00, children (4-15 years old) are free (must be accompanied by an adult) Tickets for students and seniors are around £15.00 Tickets can be purchased on the official website to avoid queuing! This is my first time in the park. Because the park is very large and has many attractions, So I chose a more special area to visit. 📍Palm House This Victorian glasshouse is one of the icons of Kew Gardens and houses a large collection of plants from the tropics, including palms, banana trees, tropical flowers and ferns. It is known as one of the most beautiful greenhouses in the world. The temperature is hotter here and the humidity is also higher. Stays for one hour. 📍Princess of Wales Conservatory This is my second favorite greenhouse and a treasure for plant lovers. This modern greenhouse contains 10 different climate zones, displaying plants from tropical to arid regions. I was very excited to find a variety of rare cacti, orchids and carnivorous plants here. 📍Japanese Landscape Garden It combines traditional Japanese garden design with the style of English botanical gardens. There are tranquil ponds, stone lanterns and tea pavilions here, providing a quiet and peaceful atmosphere. Of course, people who travel to Japan frequently can skip this area. 📍Treetop Walkway I also recommend going to the Top Tree, a 200-meter-long aerial walkway that allows visitors to have a bird's eye view of the entire botanical garden from the 18-meter-high canopy. You can get a close look at the tall trees and magnificent gardens, an experience not to be missed. You can take the elevator to go up, which is suitable for the elderly or family members who need wheelchairs. The treetop is surrounded by many chestnut trees, and you can even touch the chestnut fruits and leaves. It's a very special experience. There are cafes and shops in the garden, and you can also buy many souvenirs produced by Kew Garden, especially eco-friendly bags. No matter what season it is, Kew Garden has abundant natural landscapes and activities, which is very worth a family trip. #family-friendly #LondonAttractions #LondonDayTour #UK #UKAttractions
