The Kew Gardens Online Discount Ticket allows you to discover the incredible biodiversity of our planet. It’s home to more than 50,000 plants, some of which are nearly extinct in the wild. Thanks to the efforts of dedicated botanists, many of them have been saved from this fate!
The Hive is where innovative architecture meets nature. It recreates a beehive and offers a unique glimpse into the life of bees. This 17-meter-tall structure is the most photographed landmark at Kew Gardens, so be sure to snap a few pictures.
At Kew Gardens, you can explore more than 30 glasshouses that feature thousands of plant species from around the world. Each one represents a different climate zone, ranging from alpine to desert to rainforest and everything in between.
Step into the lovely Waterlily House, home to the Victoria Amazonica - the largest water lily in the world! Did you know it can grow more than 3 meters wide? This historic glasshouse also features the world’s smallest water lily, the nearly extinct Nymphaea thermarum.
This 17th-century mansion served as a royal summer house during the Georgian Era. See the everyday domestic life of kings and queens and take a peek into the queen's boudoir and king's bedroom. One of the fascinating features is the recently restored royal kitchens.

There are many things to see at Kew Gardens, but I recommend starting with the glasshouses, as they close up a bit earlier. The sheer variety of plants is staggering. The Palm House impressed me the most, as it was an architectural miracle in its time. They managed to create a cathedral-like space for tropical plants, but without the use of columns. I am very pleased to have spent a lovely day at the Kew Gardens. I've seen a beautiful UNESCO World Heritage site and managed to save money by purchasing the online discount ticket.
Kew Gardens are my picture of heaven, and it looks like the Garden of Eden. Since it is the home of many endangered and almost extinct plants, the Kew Gardens are a sort of Noah's Ark. I saw a tiny water lily at one of the glasshouses and learned that the Kew Gardens saved this species from extinction by preserving the seeds. And that's just one example of their efforts to save our planet's biodiversity. To me, being surrounded by beautiful nature on a sunny day feels almost like a religious experience. I wish everyone could see this place at least once in their life.

ICONIC KEW GARDEN GLASSHOUSES
Start your exploration of Kew Gardens by visiting the iconic glasshouses that recreate different climate zones for plant life. For example, the Palm House, probably the most renowned, is dedicated to rainforest plants such as bananas, cycads, giant bamboos, and various types of palms. The Palm House was built during the reign of Queen Victoria in the 1840s and is a wonderful example of Victorian garden architecture. There are more than 30 glasshouses for you to explore and enjoy. Other noteworthy examples include the Temperate House, Princess of Wales Conservatory, Waterlily House, Davies Alpine House, and the extraordinary Bonsai House. Absorb the serenity of the Bonsai House and learn about this unique blend of gardening and art.
THE ARBORETUM AND THE TREETOP WALKWAY
Roam freely around the Arboretum, which boasts an impressive 11,000 individual trees from 2,000 different species. While the Arboretum is beautiful at any time of year, it is especially stunning during the spring and summer months when the blooms make it a truly spectacular sight. Some of the trees are as old as Kew Gardens themselves, more than 250 years old! The tallest trees are in the Redwood Grove, with some specimens reaching as high as 40 meters. Within the Arboretum, you will also find a unique attraction: the Treetop Walkway. Climb the stairs or take an elevator to reach this incredible walkway, which is 200 meters long. From a height of 18 meters, you will have an opportunity to see the trees from a different perspective, including the uppermost branches. The Treetop Walkway is also the perfect viewpoint, as it is centrally located, offering a breathtaking view.
KEW GARDENS HISTORIC AND CONTEMPORARY BUILDINGS
The Hive is one of the most popular spots at Kew Gardens. Visiting this 17-meter-tall art installation is an immersive experience that feels like a real beehive. It's connected to a nearby beehive and responds by sending vibrations and flickering LED lights within the installation. After learning about the lives of bees, head to Kew Palace to discover the history of British royals who used it as a summer retreat. Here, you’ll find incredible historical pieces and insights into the everyday life of a royal household. Next, visit the Great Pagoda, a 10-story-high structure built in 1761 as a gift to Princess Augusta. You can climb to the viewing gallery, where you’ll have a chance to see much of London.
