Kew Palace was pretty cool to explore. I particularly liked seeing the old kitchens and how things were done back then. It’s always impressive seeing historic houses as it really gives you an insight into how people lived back then. I’d say that Kew Palace is best to visit alongside exploring Kew Gardens itself as it won’t take up a whole day. Overall, was worth the visit.

  • It doesn’t take long to visit Kew Palace but it’s a nice addition to a day at Kew Gardens at no extra cost.
  • There is a family trail to give you a reason to take the kids.
  • It’s pretty close to the kid’s play area so try not to let them know that so you do get to see the Palace.
