If you just want to explore and roam the gardens, there are a number of really kid friendly places to go. As well as acres of flowers, plants and even vegetable patches, there are also areas that the kids will be absolutely blown away by. Hop, skip and jump along the wood trail, spot insects on the woodland walk or see the underground world of badgers in the life-sized sett.

Looking for even more? The Hive is a unique, multi-sensory experience designed to highlight the extraordinary life of bees. There is also the Tree Top Walk, which is an 18 metres walk above the woodland floor through the tops of trees.



You can also enjoy a bite to eat and a coffee at one of five eateries found throughout the gardens.
