Official tickets purchased directly from Kew Gardens are non-refundable and non-exchangeable. If you require flexibility, booking standard tickets through partner platforms like GetYourGuide or Tiqets often allows free cancellation up to 24 hours before your visit.
You can enter via Victoria Gate (closest to Kew Gardens station), Elizabeth Gate (near Kew Bridge station and the river), Brentford Gate (adjacent to the car park), or Lion Gate (closest to Richmond). Victoria Gate is the main entrance and best for those arriving via the District Line.
Yes, children under 4 and essential companions/carers of disabled visitors enter for free, but you must add these free tickets to your online booking. Carers should bring accepted proof of disability, such as an Access Card or PIP letter, to present at the gate.

Strollers are welcome, but large luggage, bicycles, skateboards, and scooters are strictly prohibited inside the gardens. While bicycle racks are provided outside all four gates, there are no luggage storage facilities on-site.
