I stopped off at the NMA on a long cross west/east journey and really didn’t know what to expect. After a wholesome lunch in the restaurant I set out for a stroll around singling out the Naval Services Memorial and the Polish Memorial for my hour stay. I was completely overwhelmed by the memorials and the sense of dignity. The facilities are excellent too and all the staff helpful and courteous. Our country should be proud.

We’ve just got back from a really great day at the national memorial. After a coffee in the cafe we had booked the land train(you don’t have to book but I would again. A really good way to see around this vast space and to listen to the commentary and a useful way to plan the rest of the day. After a nice meal in the restaurant we the picked out a handful of memorials to revisit. A fabulous day but can be a little tiring.

We had prebooked tickets for the land train, so had to go despite the rain. We were in time for the 2 minute silence, held every day, and then had our train ride. Despite the rain, it was good - very helpful in getting an overview of the arboretum. After lunch in the 'restaurant', the rain had stopped, and we were able to walk to some of the memorials we wished to see. However, the ground was sodden, and there were huge puddles everywhere, so we didn't stay as long as we had hoped.

We went on a clear cold February Day.
The train wasn't running but we were lucky enough to be driven by John on a Golf Cart.He was incredibly knowledgeable know a variety of facts.
The various memorials are truly inspirational and thought provoking.
The use of wood in the public areas ties the whole Arboretum together.
Restaurants were of a good standard with lots of choice.
Well worth a visit.

We had a a lovely day at the arboretum, we first went around on the little train £7, we then decided what we were going to see first. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable, plenty of places to sit quietly and reflect. We used the restaurant for lunch which was reasonably priced. You can have a lovely day out which won’t cost the earth as it is free to enter. You could take a picnic, to keep the costs down. Well worth a visit.

The location of theatre is really good some restaurants and bars near by and shopping area on the door step. Parking situation is really good also free on a Sunday & car park is cheap
The theatre itself is a nice size for a performance and you could sit anywhere and get a good view downstairs. I personally found the seats a little on the small side but that’s my preference.
Thoroughly enjoyed the show we went to watch.

A most enjoyable visit despite the rain. The volunteers could have not been more friendly and helpful. Because of the rain we opted for the land train and buggy trip so did not do a great deal of walking. Which means we will have to visit again to see those areas we missed yesterday. A very moving experience.
The coffee shop and restaurant were very good and a lot cheaper than Kew Gardens.

Without a doubt the most breathtaking experience, peaceful, respectful and emotional. I would recommend that all go as it is amazing.<br>I learnt alot about different regiments, ones I hadn't heard of and the centre monument is one that no words can describe.<br>Car park is only £4 all day, dogs are welcome and there is a lovely restaurant with teas, coffees and food all proceeds go to the NA .<br>Entry is free but a donation can be made.
