As you walk into the Conservatory you will be amazed by the number and range of butterflies and moths flying freely around your head.   My children were mesmerised and loved studying them close up.

Then you walk through to an area where you can learn all about the chocolate plant which is bound to encourage questions.

Finally you move on to an area where there is a large pond with huge water lilies and a giant catfish in it.  If you are lucky you might even see a Chinese Dragon Lizard wandering around freely.

This was a huge hit with my kids when I went there over half-term and I highly recommend it.

When you have had enough of this area, you can just go on over to the new Plantastic Play Area by Queen Charlotte’s Cottage, where the kids can burn off loads of energy in a leaf maze, climbing posts, huge tunnels and even whizz along a wire.

As if there wasn’t already enough to do at Kew with the Climbers and Creepers playground and the Treetop walkway there are now these fantastic attractions.

Have a great family day out.
