A truly humbling place to visit. Great facilities provided by two cafes situated in the main square and entrance area.<br>Parking costs £3 all day and there is no entrance fee although you can (and should) make a donation.<br>Opened in 2001 the trees are still small, and it already looks great so when they’ve grown a bit it will be amazing. There are over 359 memorials spread over the 150 acres which runs right along the River Tame.

Have wanted to go for ages and wasnt disappointed. This is a must visit venue for the uk. However, sort out yourselves in the following ways please; provide a map positioning the location of each memorial rather than vaguely pointing to the area within the 150 acres site. Sell train tickets at the station and at reception and tell the reception staff that if a visitor asks about the train at reception then sell them a ticket rather than tell them how to get to the train station only to be greeted with ' you need to buy your ticket at reception' after we have walked to the terminus in rain and we are limited ability walkers due to age and illness. That said, just awesome and Paul (a volunteer guide) was outstanding. Thank you.

My dads Uncle has a memorial garden here. It had to be relocated to another part of the garden and about 150 people attended a very moving day. We had lunch which was excellent and later we had a walk round and would definitely recommend a visit here. Brilliant place and kept perfectly.

An lovely day out to the national memorial museum in staffordshire. Easy to get to straight off the A5 just outside lichfield, plenty of parking. Very informative visit you can walk round or take a shuttle bus with commentary. Loads of memorials to different groups in the wars all over the world and groups from now, emergency services, lifeboats, twin towers. Every day theres a service at 11am with 2 minute silence very poignant. Very definatly recommend going. Will visit again.

Established to provide a single location where those who had lost their lives by military of civilian causes, the NMA is simply wonderful. With over 300 different and varied memorials, sited in over 150 acres, you need more than one visit to do it justice.
I recommend taking the train ride when you first arrive, having had a tea or coffee first of course! This will allow you to understand the scope and extent of what is there. (You can also take a tour in a 'buggy' for the same price and achieves the same objective, but perhaps more personal?). You can then wander and view those memorials that may be of special interest to you.
There are also many, many benches to sit and contemplate, and also many quiet places to sit and eat a picnic.
Entrance is free but donations to help defray the £4000 per day cost are of course, very welcome. There is a wonderful exhibition, a beautiful chapel, excellent and well-priced catering facilities, and a gift shop.
We visited on a beautiful sunny day but it is of course, all 'open-air' so one needs to be prepared for inclement weather
We saw much on our visit but need to return!

Thought provoking place reading the memorials & seeing names you know is always a difficult time...The Conscientious objectors memorial was both sad & beautiful

Such an amazing and evocative place. So may tributes to individual bodies, both in the armed forces and civilian services. Huge but there is a reasonably priced land train giving a 45 minute ride for those with mobility issues. Cafe reasonable too and spotless as are the loos. Very helpful guides. A truly memorable day out. Plenty of parking including blue badge.

You have to visit this wonderful and humble venue.
Take the land train. Brilliant.
Bought a tear to our eyes on departure. And buy a poppy from the shop for your garden too. We bought three and they take pride and place in our garden.....
