Kew, London, United Kingdom
Review
A world garden that children treat as an adventure playground. The Children's Garden is superb, the glasshouses save rainy hours, and teens actually like the treetop walkway. Membership pays off fast for west London families.
Our recommendation. Enter via Victoria Gate for the Children's Garden. Pack a picnic — Kew's cafes are lovely and pricey.
