Lots to see and do, easily spend a day here! Massive variety in flowers, roses and succulents of all sizes! The greenhouses with micro climates was awesome to see. Hot and cold food is available at the cafe and the prices are reasonable and not extortionate. We felt the price of tickets was fair for what was on offer. Great time

Lots to see here. Takes 1 to 2 hours to walk around. The glass houses were great... Very hot in there but great. Came here in August but would love to see it in Winter and Spring. Was PS7.70 an adult which I think is a great price. Was going to go to the cafe but queue was out of the door so ate somewhere else after. Wanted to go to the shop but forgot all about it! Great place to visit on your own, as a couple, family young and old or with friends. Definitely go again and highly recommend.

It's a great place to spend 2-3 hours with kids and it has a lot more than we expected. The glasshouse is not huge but it's arranged into different rooms with different climates therefore plants from different regions. My 9 years old enjoyed the trail hunting for the stamps to get a nice little badge and to see the special plants. Really worth the value and the time.

Plenty of space to explore and enjoy a wide variety of plants. The greenhouses are a great place to get away from the rain, and the cafe serves a good selection of cakes and sandwiches, as well as hot food at lunchtime. Very relaxing place to spend the day

Unexpected hidden gem that we discovered for a few hours break, en route to Norfolk. Amazing variety of plants, trees & shrubs to enjoy. Places to sit & panels with interesting information on what is being researched in each area. Food/drink & facilities all excellent and easily accessible and affordable. Highly recommend a visit if you have a few spare hours.

What a lovely walk we had through the botanical gardens. Beautiful planting and organisation of the trees. There were some nice little pop up cakes and coffee stalls. Greenhouses were the highlight for me. A little outside the centre but well worth the walk. Quiet and relaxing away from the hustle and bustle of the middle of town.
