This is a great place to visit. However, to take it all in, you'll need at least a couple of days.

Very well kept, all the staff we meet were pleasant and couldn't do enough to help,
The stick man trail was really good, our 2 year old loved it

Picnic area: Plenty of picnic spaces

Such a beautiful place to visit. Honouring so many in one venue. Always clean, and peaceful even when very busy! We visit often and there's always a new Monument to see.

Lovely gardens

Beautifully kept grounds in keeping with the peace and tranquility of the reason for its existence. How lovely to spend some time in thanks for all those who gave everything for what we have today.
Let us hope that world problems will ease and eventually those that need to will see sense and no more memorials are required.

A place for reflection, hope and to remember lost loved ones. A beautiful place to walk around. Somewhere everyone should visit at least once in their lifetime, maybe then there would be less names added in the future.

Very peaceful

Good cafe and moving memorials, friendly helpful staff. Lots of activities on a ban holiday Sunday

Brilliant place and well maintained loads to look at and understand

It was an amazing experience.. It is a beautiful place with all these different monuments, each having a unique history. The buggy driver told us all about the different monuments with a lot of zest and the kids enjoyed the stick man trail ❤️. A must go place on a beautiful sunny day.

Playground: Plenty of games for the kids and safe

Restrooms: Clean tidy

Dog-friendliness: Dogs welcome

Picnic area: Cop a squat in many places here

Everyone should visit this place just once.

I'm a Royal Navy Falklands War veteran and return regularly to the NMA to reflect and remember those affected by events then and ever since. On this occasion, my wife and I were accompanied by Friends who are Falkland Islanders and who experienced the horrors of what happened in 1982. My wife and two of our friends are disabled and we have a Blue Badge.
We booked our visit on 4th May to arrive at 1100 and arrived on time. The man on the entrance couldn't have been more obstructive or unhelpful if he had tried and he certainly tried hard enough! He told us that there were no Disabled Spaces left and that there was no spaces available for our vehicle. He told us that we would have to park in the secondary car park and walk back which I refused to do after pointing out that we had a Blue Badge and that I had disabled guests with me and also that the we had parked many times oin the main area without problems but Mr Jobsworth wasn't listening....I remembered then that we had experienced his attitude on previous visits.
He grudgingly said that I could drive in and drop my group off but then would need to go out to the other car park and walk back. I think not....so we drove in to find loads of empty Blue Badge spaces and the very next vehicle he let in after us was a VW Transporter, no Blue Badge.! He had told us bare faced lies which I wasn't prepared to tolerate. We parked up without difficulty and without taking up more than one space and went in where I asked to speak to the Duty Manager, Rachel. She came promptly, was very apologetic and helpful and said she would speak with the individual.
The rest of our visit went very well and we participated in the HMS Sheffield memorial event, the 4th May being the anniversary of her being attacked and I met some of the injured that I had cared for on the Hospital Ship Uganda.
Unfortunately, the individual at the entrance spoilt the day and the episode left a nasty taste in the mouth.
Hopefully we won't encounter him on 14th JUne, the anniversary of the liberation of the Falkland Islands.

Had our very first visit to the Arboretum yesterday and had to write a review. What an amazing place, was so nice to pay our respects to all the honoured services, the grounds and memorials are so well thought out and done so well, the grounds are so nice to walk round, the staff do a fantastic job and the 1940's celebration and songs made it an even special visit, this should be a place that everyone should go and a fantastic way to save our history and the memories of all that have passed away serving our country.
Well done to all involved.. ☆☆☆☆☆

This place is amazing! Absolutely brilliant.
There is so much to see. The sculptures are so interesting and poignant. The landscaping is beautiful.
I walked 6 miles here and still didn't see it all. There is a slow train people can use if they don't want to walk so much.
It's free entry but they take donations. The car parking is £4 if you pay in advance or £6 on the day. Such good value.
The cafe was a bit of a let down, pricey and the good mediocre. When I visited I had a hot turkey sandwich, which was like warm served on cheap bread with cold chips. When I go again I'll take a picnic. There are loads of nice place with picnic benches.
There's a ghost ship with lots of nice items for sale.
Definitely worth a visit or 3!

Lots of parking spaces,£6 to park but no entrance fee.
Staff and volunteers helpful, enthusiastic and knowledgeable.
Engaging and thought provoking display in the main building.
Cafe offering a range of sandwiches,hot food options and a good variety of cakes at reasonable prices.
Plenty of outdoor space for exploring monuments.
Children's trails, activities and play area.
Great day out.

Very special place. Had an amazing tour and talk today. Finished off with a lovely lunch.

Went for a 1944's day but was a little disappointed. There were singers performing through the day, actors putting on plays about war time and that was about it. The only static display was an American jeep and army truck. This may have been because it was a 1944 day and not a 1940's event which we have been to before where there was more going on and a number of stalls outside.
It was, however, quite a poignant day as there were around 200 bikers there from the British Legion Bikers Club who had gathered to remember fallen servicemen and women.
We will still go back if there is a 1940' s weekend on at some time.

Restrooms: Located in the main building with disabled access

Welcoming and informative staff/volunteers. Cafe has a great choice from a hot drink to excellent meals. The land train is well worth it to gain an overall understanding of the Aboretum.

Really nice place to visit

Lovely place, free to go in just pay for parking it's a brillaint day out, thw stick man trail is good for the kids

Absolutely blown away by this place. We had no idea what to expect and were not disappointed.
Superbly thought out environment. The symbolism palpable.
Beautifully manicured environment, despite the adverse weather conditions of late.
Eateries on site good value. Little coffee shop has lovely coffee and equally lovely barista.
All the staff very friendly, chatty and clearly enjoy their jobs....unpaid!! Their enthusiasm and regard for the place very obvious.
It felt like a hallowed place where those who have given their lives in service to others are fittingly and respectfully remembered.
I can only imagine how those who have lost friends and family in the services feel when they spend time there.
Thank you for a great and thought provoking day.

I have visited this lovely site on numerous occasions and always found it to be very moving expression. Last week I took our Australian visitor along to the Anzac Day Service and Laying of the Wreath which both of of enjoyed very much. What I did not enjoy as much was whilst walking around the Arboretum afterwards was coming across two deposits left behind from dogs, surely the owners should be made to clean up after their dogs. Sadly I spoke to one of the lovely volunteers who said this is happening all to often, I believe that now the Arboretum are encouraging dog walkers to visit this lovely site, if this is the case more needs to done to make sure the owners clean up after the dogs, it's not the dogs fault

Beautiful place- hundreds of memorials, the entrance building has a toilet, gift shop, restaurant/coffee shop and a couple of galleries and the bulding itself feels very modern and looks stunning. The memorial grounds are peaceful and would probably take 2-3 visits to cover fully so there's plenty to do. For kids, there's a Stickman trail, so anyone of any age can visit. There's a land train covering the key memorials so you can also do that. Thoroughly recommend, fantastic family day out.

Main building contains restaurant toilets a gift shop and a museum. Outside large gardens yo walk and contemplate
