The place in general is always fantastic. Staff friendly well organised. Parking sorted easily. The down side was the food. Not butter on rolls bacon cold at point of delivery and expensive for the quality. In past it is usually good. They were just not ready for a large intake that was planned.

This is an absolute must visit. The staff are absolutely lovely and want you to enjoy your visit. There is so much to see and learn about, the history in the Arboretum is amazing and with over 400 memorials to visit, there is plenty of history to learn. We took the train that takes you around most of the memorials which gives you a commentary, this proved to be a great way to see everything.

Lovely excellent memorials set in vast grounds. Good walkways, if u want to hire a wheelchair or mobility, you can at a small charge. And there is also a train/buggy to take you around if you don't want to walk. There is also a restaurant and a coffee shop opposite each other. There is plenty here to spend the day and, of course, even better if the weather is good. For meetings/parties, there is also a large function building.

Attended a dedication service for the 40th anniversary of the founding of the St. John Fellowship. Very impressed by the facilities, a very well stocked gift shop, and excellent catering facilities. The parkland is extensive with many memorials. Unfortunately we only had time to see a small section. We will be back again when hopefully we will be able to explore further.

A very humbling and rewarding experience at a beautiful setting. You can't help but be overwhelmed and impressed with the settings, gardens, memorials, statues etc. We came specifically to see the WWI Sikh memorial in respects of our ancestors. Hopefully there will be futher additions for WW2 etc. The architecture is beautiful, as are the restaurant, facilities and onsite parking. I paid in advance at Β£4 for parking and gave a donation online. Bought a map for Β£2 onsite and worked around the site. There is a slow train that takes you around for the less mobile visitors. We had lunch, Ice cream and staff were helpful and pleasant and plenty of volunteers to help provide information. A very special day out for me and my son to learn about our collective history.

Wonderful time spent at the Arboretum, we had a wheelchair user with us the staff and volunteers were very helpful lady at the reception desk provided a blanket beautiful but chilly wind, especially the lady who drove us to the top of the steps and down again when we were ready I'm so sorry I didn't get her name. Volunteers are so knowledgeable and happy to share their information, take family photos for us.<br>A fabulous day from start to finish will definitely return soon . Thank you all.

We love coming to NMA whenever we get the chance. Easy to book car parking and so well organised on arrival. The grounds and memorials are beautiful and well cared for, a fitting tribute to all our veterans past and present. The staff and volunteers are very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable and the coffee shop is excellent value. My grandchildren love the activities on offer and the train, can't wait to come again and have a 'chat' with my late father who wore his Burma Star with pride in the dedicated memorial garden. Thank you to all at NMA.

Went for an afternoon out as not been before. Had lunch in the cafe, which was nice, with reasonable prices and a good selection. The staff were friendly and informative and made for a pleasant visit. The weather on the day was patchy rain, which limited where we went, but when it did clear, we went up to the large memorial in the middle of the site. One of the highlights for me was the acoustics in the side part of the circle. The echos were really amazing, almost made it sound like your footsteps were marching feet. I'm sure this was intentional by the designer of the memorial. Very cool. I will return when the weather is better and hopefully get to see all the parts that we missed. There is also a land train which will take you around the site for a small charge. Apparently, it can accommodate wheelchairs too. Looking forward to the next visit.

Took a care home and we went on the train as it was too big to walk around for them.<br>It was very informative and stopped at certain points throughout.<br>Well worth the visit and will return on my own for a more leisurely walk around the gardens
