Is Kew Gardens (Royal Botanic Gardens) worth it with kids?
Worth itWith kids
With kids, Kew Gardens (Royal Botanic Gardens) works.
300 acres of plants, palm houses and a canopy walkway — a serene escape from central London and stunning in spring and autumn. The catch: it's in zone-3 southwest London (30–40 min out), the ticket isn't cheap, and you need half a day to make the trip worth it.
