Quick picks

Choose by your situation

Before checkout

What is often not included

  • Bag searches and additional security checks may take place at entrance gates or at specific venues such as glasshouses and galleries; a timed or partner ticket does not guarantee bypassing these checks.
  • Concession bookings require valid ID on arrival, so visitors using reduced-price eligibility should carry the requested proof or risk paying the applicable admission difference.
  • A mobile ticket or printed ticket must be ready at entry; relying on poor reception or a dead phone can delay admission.
  • Access to Kew’s Children’s Garden is free but requires a separate timed session booking for children, so general Gardens admission alone may not secure a session.
  • Optional donations can increase the amount charged on official bookings; compare the final checkout total rather than the headline admission amount.
  • Cancellation and refund rights depend on the exact ticket terms, particularly for partner bookings and city passes; confirm the policy before payment.

Insider tips

Good to know before your visit

  • Entrance

    Kew has four public entrances: Victoria Gate (closest to Kew Gardens Underground station), Elizabeth Gate (closest to Kew Bridge station and river services), Brentford Gate (next to the car park), and Lion Gate (closest to Richmond station). Brentford Gate remains open during renovation works, although delays are possible. Bag searches may take place at entrances or specific venues, and Kew has no lockers or baggage-storage facilities, so avoid arriving with large luggage.

  • Price

    Official Kew Gardens ticket prices vary by season: during peak season (February to October), standard adult tickets booked online cost £24 (£27 at the gate), while off-peak (November to January) tickets drop to £16 (£19 at the gate). Reduced rates are available online for young people and students aged 16–29 (£10 in peak, £7 in off-peak), concessions aged 65+ or with disabilities (£22 in peak, £14 in off-peak), and children aged 4–15 (£6 in peak, £5 in off-peak), with under-4s entering free. Partner prices are displayed in USD and may fluctuate based on exchange rates or the inclusion of optional donations.

  • Discounts

    Infants under 4 (ages 0–3) enter free, though you should add a free under-4 ticket to your online booking. Visitors aged 16–29 qualify for discounted young person/student tickets. Concession pricing is available for seniors (65+) and visitors with disabilities. Registered blind or partially-sighted visitors enter free. One essential carer accompanying a visitor with a disability receives free entry, but this free carer ticket must be selected and added to your order when booking online. Additionally, UK residents receiving Universal Credit, Pension Credit, or legacy benefits, as well as asylum seekers with an Application Registration Card (ARC), can book £1 tickets online or buy them at the gate. Eligible visitors can also bring up to four guests for £1 each, provided they present official proof of benefits or their ARC at the entrance.

  • Timing

    Arrive early enough for security checks, ticket scanning and wayfinding.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can I use a mobile ticket at Kew Gardens in July 2026?

Yes. Kew accepts valid tickets shown on a phone or printed out, along with any required voucher or concession ID. If a partner voucher gives a specific arrival window, follow that voucher’s instructions.

Can I cancel or get a refund if my plans change?

Kew’s standard day-ticket terms state that tickets are non-refundable and cannot be exchanged, transferred, or resold. Partner bookings can have their own conditions, so check the selected seller’s cancellation terms before payment rather than assuming flexibility.

Is buying from the official site better than using a partner?

The official option is the clearest choice when you want Kew’s own admission terms and concession requirements. A partner may be useful if you are comparing a combined attraction ticket or guided experience, but check the final checkout total, admission conditions, and inclusions carefully.

Will a ticket skip Kew Gardens’ security or entry queue?

No ticket should be assumed to bypass security. Kew may search bags at the entrance or before particular glasshouses and galleries, and visitors must comply with searches as a condition of entry.

What bags and items should I avoid bringing?

Kew has no locker facilities, so keep belongings with you. Prohibited items include bikes and scooters, drones, weapons, flammable liquids, sports equipment such as balls, and flowers or plant material; bag searches may also take place inside the Gardens.

What happens if I arrive late?

Kew’s published day-ticket terms do not guarantee admission for late arrivals or provide a general late-arrival grace period. If your ticket or voucher has a time requirement, contact the seller or Kew as soon as possible; entry still requires a valid ticket and may involve security checks.

Do children, young people, or free and reduced-price visitors need anything special?

Children aged 16 and under must be accompanied by an adult, and under-4s enter free. Visitors using concessionary tickets should bring the required proof of eligibility or ID; check the booking instructions for the exact ticket type before travelling.

What is the main internal bottleneck to plan around during a July visit?

Plan extra time for entrance and security screening, especially if carrying bags, because checks can occur at the gates and again before specific venues. Glasshouses also have their own closing times and may close before the Gardens, so do not leave them until the end of the day.
