Why you should buy your ticket on 1STicket.com.
Highlights
Add a breath of fresh air to your visit to London with tickets to Kew Gardens, which allow you to enter the largest botanical garden in the world, a vast green open space away from the crowds. You'll see iconic sights like Kew Palace, the 10-story Chinese Pagoda, the vast and beautiful Temperate House, and even a waterfall.
Founded in 1840, Kew Gardens boasts over 30,000 different plant varieties and is more of a green museum, showcasing and celebrating different periods of landscape architecture and gardening styles. Inside the site there is also a royal palace!
Kew Gardens tickets will also allow you to visit the Temperate House, the largest Victorian greenhouse in the world which is home to 1,500 species of plants. The park's botanists care for some of the rarest and most threatened temperate plants from Africa, Australia, New Zealand, the Americas, Asia and the Pacific Islands.
Get the best view of the gardens from the Treetop Walkway. Take inventory of the canopy-top gardens and get a unique perspective of the park. Rediscover yourself with a visit to the art galleries, included in your Kew Gardens entrance fee. The Marianne North Gallery houses art from around the world, while the Shirley Sherwood contains botanical art.
All this walking and exploring will make you hungry, so head to Kew Gardens' many cafes and restaurants to refuel and recharge!
