It was named as one of the world’s best botanical gardens by Conde Nast Traveller in 2023.
As for what you can find now, there are plants aplenty.
For seeing autumn at its best, head up to the Treetop Walkway for a high-up view of the attraction looking down at its orange-leaf trees.
It looks over the Arboretum which has over 11,000 trees – some of them dating back to when the gardens were founded back in 1759.
If you’re going as a family, check out the children’s garden which has its own playground designed for two to 12 year olds.
There are tunnels, climbing frames and water play too.

For a moment of calm, there’s Japanese Landscape, a tranquil Asian-inspired garden with a traditional tea garden and waterfalls.
Inside the Palm House is a tropical rainforest environment – this is where you’ll find the oldest pot plant in the world.
It’s one of your last chances to see it for a while as there’s a planned renovation in 2027 which will last for five years.
Other areas to explore include King William’s Temple, The Hive installation and Temperate House which is the world’s largest Victorian glasshouse.

Travel Reporter Cyann Fielding reveals her favourite part of Kew Gardens…
If you want to find out how to spend a day at Kew Gardens, Travel Reporter Cyann Fielding has done all the work for you…
“Whatever season you choose to visit Kew Gardens, there is something different to see.
“When I visited, the orange, red, yellow and brown leaves of autumn were in full swing making the entire destination look like a painting.
“Of course, pretty much all of the things to do at Kew Gardens are suitable for adults.
“A personal favourite of mine was the Princess of Wales Conservatory which features 10 temperature-controlled climate zones.
“In each area, there is something to explore that is fascinating – it essentially feels like walking through the jungle. You’ll see Venus flytraps, orchids and giant cheese plants.
“There is the Temperate House, which is the world’s largest Victorian glasshouse and is home to rare and threatened plants.
“Also make sure to head to Palm House, especially before it closes and undergoes refurbishment in 2027.
“Inside you will find an indoor rainforest, with tropical plants including the oldest pot plant in the world.
“Reopening in spring 2026 is also Kew Palace, which is the oldest building within the gardens.
“The pretty red house was the summer home of King George III in the 18th century and features 10 rooms spread across three floors, including the royal’s living quarters.
“At the opposite end of the estate is Queen Charlotte’s Cottage, which is currently open to the public.”
