The Kew Explorer travelling past the iconic Palm House.
The Abominable Dr Creeper returns to Kew this Halloween to regale you with ghostly tales of the Gardens.
Friday 28 to Sunday 30 October 2011
These tours will run at 11.30am, 12.30pm, 1.30pm, 2.30pm and 3.30pm.
72 timed tickets are available from Stop 1 (just behind Victoria Plaza and close to the Palm House) for each non-stop Halloween train tour. Tickets are issued each day on a first-come, first-served basis 15 minutes before each tour commences, i.e. 11.15am for the 11.30am tour.
Halloween train tours are priced at: adult £4, child £1. Tours last approximately 35 minutes.
Please note that the holder of a Halloween train tour ticket will need to purchase an additional daily Kew Explorer ticket if they wish to take any of the regular daily public tours, which are a great way to gain an introduction to the Gardens. The schedule for these tours is displayed at the ticket gates and all Kew Explorer stops.
