Kew Gardens Discount Codes in July 2026

Planning your visit to Kew Gardens

Kew Gardens covers more than 300 acres and is home to world-renowned botanical collections, historic glasshouses, galleries, treetop walks and seasonal events. Whether you're visiting for a relaxing walk, family day out or to discover rare plants from around the world, there's plenty to explore throughout the year.

Booking online usually offers the best value compared with buying tickets at the gate. Kew also offers concession tickets for disabled visitors, young person and student tickets, Universal Credit tickets and annual memberships for those planning multiple visits.

For disabled visitors and people living with long term health conditions, Kew provides extensive accessibility support, including free essential companion tickets, free Blue Badge parking, mobility scooter and wheelchair hire, accessible toilets, hearing loops and an accessibility map to help plan your visit.

Tickets and parking

Booking online usually offers the best value admission prices. Parking is available at Brentford Gate and is chargeable for most visitors, but Blue Badge holders can park free of charge in designated accessible spaces. Three accessible parking bays are also available at Elizabeth Gate.

Purpl tips & insights

• Download the accessibility map before you visit to help plan the most suitable route.
• If you need a mobility scooter or wheelchair, reserve it before travelling as availability is limited.
• The gardens are very large, so plan regular rest stops if fatigue is a concern.
• Check seasonal event accessibility separately, as companion ticket arrangements may differ from standard daytime admission.
• If you're visiting by car and have a Blue Badge, remember parking is free in the designated accessible spaces.
