Great lace to visit and reflect on what people have given for us all

We'd been promising to visit here for many years to track down some memorials that had significance to our family and relatives. Its a vast place, beautifully and thoughtfully laid out. Staff on hand to help you find something particular, as it can be a bit overwhelming, were exceptionally friendly and helpful. I cannot praise the help enough, it was brilliant.
Despite inclement weather we explored for over 2 hours and I could imagine you could easily spend many more here!
During Covid restrictions you have to book a time slot in advance, if you don't you may be turned away, for info.

It brings home how many people gave their lives for their country and that we should remember them the way they deserve. A beautiful place for them to be remembered in.Words can't do the arboretum enough .

Lovely peaceful place with some truly excellent exhibitions such as the Far East Prisoners of war exhibition, and shot at dawn memorial. We spent 5 hours here and could have spent longer, there are really beautiful memorials here. We took the little train orientation tour, and then went back on foot to take photos, or just stand and have a few quiet moments of reflection.
The area is huge and there are a lot of monuments to see. The walks through the trees are so peaceful and I found a few trees that seemed happy to be hugged!😀
Nice cafe, but leave extra time for queuing at busy times as it gets very busy. They are also happy for people to take a picnic, and there are plenty of benches around, and except in the memorials themselves, walking on the grass is positively encouraged. We have wanted to come here for a long time, and really enjoyed our day, it certainly lived up to expectations.

Came with my wife and two kids aged nearly 11 and nearly 12 - we did the spy trail and this kept us busy and engaged for 5 hours!! Although there were periods of rain, we had a brilliant day. We walked over 14,000 steps that day.
The shop was also great with lots of things I wanted to buy
Highly recommend!!

A beautiful peaceful setting by the river, great memorials with some wonderful sculptures . We did the train tour and the guided walking tour, our tour guides were excellent as were all the staff throughout the site. We had a nice dinner in the restaurant. As well as the tours we think we managed to walk around all of the site, clocking up quite a few steps though. The far east area was interesting and very moving, especially seeing actual sections of railway track that POW's were made to work so hard on. A great place to visit for reflection & remembrance

My wife and I finally visited this wonderful site in September 2020,having said we must go for years.It's a wonderfully peaceful place,much bigger than we imagined, with beautiful walks and lots of spaces between the memorials. At every turn there is another thought provoking area and you will see plenty to be moved by. It is very well run,very Covid Safe and is also very Dog Friendly.Only slight criticism would be there could do with being more toilets being around the grounds and perhaps a smaller cafe somewhere other than the maim building where you start out.A good tip is to take a picnic as many people who have visited previously obviously did.We will know next time. As with most places at the moment, you have to book in advance due to limited numbers being allowed in, but this is quick and easy to do.We will definitely return in the future and you need to spend a good half day there to get around properly.

What can I say about such an emotional place. So very pleased we visited it today it has been beautifully laid out and on a large scale only managed to see just over half of it. So will definitely be going back. Highly recommended
