Welcome to Kew’s autumn festival where children can learn through botanical play at our five key family attractions. Our festival is packed full of exciting things to see and do with all the family, see below what we have on offer so you don't miss out!

Plantastic play mushrooms

PLANTastic Play

Young explorers can discover the new children's outdoor play area, shaped like a plant and nestled in Kew’s Conservation Area. Journey through this interactive landscape to discover the importance of every part of a plant. Tunnel through giant roots, disappear in a leafy maze and hide amongst the large fungi whilst solving puzzles along the way!
