Visited Hampton Court Palace and somehow managed to survive without losing my head, unlike some of Henry VIII’s wives. 😄 The palace is stunning, the gardens are beautiful, and there’s so much history around every corner. Walking through the rooms really feels like stepping back in time. If you want to see everything properly, set aside at least 3 hours, there’s far more to explore than you might expect. Just be prepared to do a lot of walking; royalty clearly didn’t believe in keeping things compact. A fantastic day out and definitely worth a visit!

My favorite historic site in England. Completely worth the price of admission and effort to get her from London. You can see three eras of English history (Tudor, William and Mary, and Georgian with one ticket. Make sure you provide it with the time to see it all, it’s not something you can knock out in an hour.

We had a great day out at Hampton Court. The site is easy to navigate, making it simple to explore all the different areas without feeling overwhelmed. The staff were friendly, welcoming, and happy to help throughout our visit. Our child's favourite part was the Magic Garden, which is absolutely fantastic. It's a brilliant play area with plenty to keep children entertained and engaged. Overall, a really enjoyable family day out, and we'd happily recommend it to others.

This historic palace offers a fascinating glimpse into the lives of those who once called it home. Having watched the TV series The Tudors, which portrays the life and reign of Henry VIII, it was especially interesting to see the setting and atmosphere associated with that period of history. The interiors are truly regal and majestic. The rooms are beautifully decorated, and the attention to detail in the artwork, furnishings, and overall design is remarkable. The palace grounds are extensive and provide plenty of space for picnics, leisurely walks, and family activities. One of the highlights is the Magic Garden, a wonderful children's play area filled with swings, slides, and imaginative features. It reminded me of the whimsical world of Alice in Wonderland, particularly the Queen of Hearts' garden. During our visit, we were told that access to the Magic Garden was reserved for visitors accompanied by children, likely for safety and security reasons. Some of the gardens can also be hired for private events, making the venue suitable for special occasions as well as day visits. The palace is definitely worth the admission fee and makes for an excellent family day out. It is particularly convenient for those travelling without a car, as there is a bus stop located directly in front of the palace.

Absolutely fabulous day out! It's been on my "hit" list of places I wanted to see since the early 00s. Finally had the opportunity on the way home from holiday and I certainly was not disappointed. Staff were so helpful and friendly, wheelchair access was great (be prepared for the cobbles). The Audio tour was fantastic even by children 8, 11 and 14 loved that. It really did take you on a journey through the Tudors, and we also came across a wonderful suffragettes drama that we were not expecting. The magic garden was fabulous for our autistic child too. An amazing palace that is beautifully and lovingly preserved.

I was expecting a great day but it went definitely above and beyond my expectations. The experience is smooth from ticket buying to visit. Everything is perfectly explained along the way. Digital add-on help understand the history and the context. Space for eating inside, and in the park. Really fantastic experience, a must do in England. Price is not cheap though, so I guess maximizing the day during good weather is probably a good idea.
