Visited here today and found it very interesting but also very humbling. Fabulous place with great restaurant and coffee shop. Lovely gift shop too. We really enjoyed it and the staff are very helpful and friendly . Definitely worth visiting. Makes me feel blessed to be alive thanks to all these very brave and special people who gave their lives for us.

Very humbling but highly educational place to visit. The site is fantastic with all Arms and Services remembered with their own memorials. The grounds are immaculate and staff very willing to offer advice. The restaurant was very good and extremely reasonable priced with 2 main meals for £13. There is also transport buggys onsite for those with walking difficulties. A great tribute to the brave and fallen. A must visit!

Close to Litchfield, car parking close to entrance wheel chair friendly, from the very start the history and exhibits give you an insite of our past history, for the disabled there is a train ride around the extensive grounds leading to the main memorial.
Not a place to go on a wet and windy day.
There is a restaurant on site and gift shop. Enjoy.

Set in 150 acres of countryside this place is well worth a visit. There is a train that takes you round some of the memorials which costs £5 and they tell you some of the history of the memorials. At the main entrance there is a restaurant, gift shop and a cafe. If you have a dog they are also welcome. To walk around the whole place would probably take a few hours but if you went on a nice day it would be worth it.

Went with my son in law who is also a vet and posed in front of my regimental badge and other photos. What an inspiring place to visit, immaculate, beautiful, full of memories and history walking around seeing the inscribed monuments, very well worth a visit. More than 5 star with a great restaurant and parking for everyone. Enjoyed the day fully.

Well organised, ample parking, helpful staff.
150 acres will take you a fair time to cover. All neatly done and very poignant memorials/sites.
An epicentre of excellence. Peace & tranquility. Space to think.
Break your visit up by stopping in the restaurant for a good meal. Toilets are spotless.
Thank you to all those involved with the NMA.

In December 2021, Denise Temple said about National Memorial Arboretum
Fantastic place, the memorials are spread out and sometimes not easy to find but worth it if you are looking to remember a relative or be proud when they find the Regiment they served in. Good disabled facilities with mobility scooters available if you can't walk too far and a good restaurant and gift shop as you go in, ample parking and very friendly and helpful members of staff. Well worth the trip.

In October 2019, Nigel said about National Memorial Arboretum
We really enjoyed our tour, well worth doing, our guide Keith was brilliant and what made it for us was his passion for D-Day. Very knowledgable and if there was any questions relating to D-Day or the Arboretum he answered them.
The National Arboretum is well worth visiting and try the restaurant food was very good.
Thank you from Nigel, Michelle, Mandy and Graeme.

Come here all the time with our grandchildren, aged 2 and 5. Two imaginative playgrounds, a giant Stickman, on which little ones can climb and sit on his lap, masses of paths and peaceful green spaces to explore, never too busy, great restaurant, cannot recommend too highly. Prebooking required, only cost is £4 to park.
