Visited today been before but a long while ago. What a surprise. It is so worth a visit. It’s the most beautiful place so clean and peaceful. We had a breakfast in the cafe before going out and about. It was such a hot day that we only managed a small part of it . So many memorials but well worth seeing. Plenty of seating round and about so that is helpful. Anyone thinking of going I would say don’t hesitate go and visit. Staff very friendly could not fault them.

Visited the Arboretum for the first time on Armed Forces Day. This is an amazing place providing remembrance for all the participants and fallen in conflicts around the world. The site is well laid out and maintained. All the facilities are spotless. The staff are friendly, helpful and personable. This is a must visit for anyone whose family have had any military connections over the years. I feel that unless there is a specific event on this attraction could be lost on the very young. Will return to shed a few more tears and remember those who have served our nation.

Well worth a visit. No worries if walking is difficult. There are numerous methods of getting around, from hiring wheelchairs, scooters etc. to the many little buses driven by volunteers. The best is a wonderful 'train's journey around the entire park,and costs £6.<br>Apart from the walls of names of the fallen during the wars, there is a large restaurant covering all tastes, a shop and on special occasions many stalls of various types, e.g.. coffee, ice cream, souvenirs etc.

There is also a travel buggy were staff took people for short journeys to the place they wanted to go.which is brilliant.There was plenty of cafes and shops toilets I found all the staff very friendly and went out of there way to help one visit is not enough I will go back again

If you have family past or present In the British armed forces I would highly recommend making a visit . This was not at all what I expected .100’s of individual forces memorials and thousands of symbolically planted trees and statues. Take the train if you are in any way finding it hard to get around as this is a HUGE area to cover on foot. Take your family regiment details and see if you can Trace their history

The National Memorial Arboretum is one of those places that you must visit. You can take a gentle stroll from one memorial to another whilst remembering those lives sacrificed in war and conflict. From front line troops in war zones to the local Bobby on the beat, children and animals.
This is certainly a thought provoking place, but we'll worth a visit. There is a coffee shop and restaurant on site, with toilets in the main reception building and at various points around the site.
Dogs are allowed in certain areas. Then complete your visit by visiting the shop which has a wide assortment of items.

It's a great place but the importance gets lost on kids

I try to visit at least once a year to pay tribute to a fallen comrade, but also along with my wife I like to attend events like armed forces weekend which is an amazing occasion for the whole family. Apart from organised events the nma is a fantastic place to visit and to learn about our country's history and the sacrifices made by others so that we may have the freedom's we enjoy today.

Lovely place, very peaceful. Nice to have somewhere to go to pay your respects to so many people who lost their lives defending our country and also other people who were not members of the armed forces e.g. Fire and police services. Would recommend a visit.

Interesting place with good facilities. With the restaurant facility it is worth a visit especially families.

Given the sombre purpose of this place, it is an excellent place to spend a few hours. The memorial wall is sobering. Many of the other memorials ask many more questions than they answer. Overall a worthy place to go, and if you are prepared to offer some explanations, a good place to further your kids education.

Have been meaning to go here for years and finally got around to it. It was Armed Forces Day so very busy and had to use overflow car park. Not bad as all parking is only £3 per day and rest of visit is free.
Had a snack lunch then seemed to walk for miles visiting lots of memorials. Some like the Polish one required a lot of reading.
Not able to cover everything on a very hot Sunday so aim to go back in cooler weather

We have visited here a few times now, with something new to see every time we go. Parking is £3 for the whole day and admission to the Arboretum is free. There are so many wonderful monuments to see in beautiful surroundings. Allow a whole day to see everything. Highly recommended that everyone should visit.
