Fun place to go with kids, we spent about 4 hours there and yeah lots of plants and so on 😂 Play area for the kids was pretty good, huge place to get lost in we didn't really visit the south west portion at all. Tree top walk was nice, impressive to be up so high swaying with the trees. The different biomes were interesting, arid with cacti and rain forest sections etc. Not being from London the flight path to Heathrow was a continual source of suprise, which turned out to be a usefull navigation tool as the came in on the same heading, so could tell which way things were. Didn't eat there as we'd eaten already. Seemed to have a good range of facilities. Personally I don't think I'd go again, but that's as we don't live in London.
