Why does the cost of admission go up on 1 April?
Each year Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, reviews its admission charge. In 2008, from 1 April, the admission charge for day entry for an adult is £13.00. Children up to and including sixteen years of age will continue to be free of charge – an unusual concession among visitor attractions. See the Visiting Kew Gardens part of the website for full details of current admission charges. The annual price review is essential because our government funding is falling in real terms, so we need to make sure that we are charging an amount that allows us to continue to maintain the gardens well and support our plant conservation work.
