Fantastic gardens, beautifully laid out in lots of different sections. I was there for 5 hours and I’m still not sure I saw it all. Oriental garden, rose garden, sculptures, a bit of everything. And considering the amount of cars in the car park, it was amazingly quiet, the place is so big it just swallows up the crowds, except for in the cafes.

Incredibly beautiful place! Very family friendly with an array of cafes and places to eat, as well as places to stroll. An amazing garden centre here too! Could easily spend all day here - and came here last year for the afternoon tea which was great. Personal highlight is the bonsais! 🌳🌴🌿 Beautiful gardens and plants on show here! 🌸🌺🪷🪻🌹🌷💐🪴🪾🌵🌲🌳

Absolutely Stunning! A wonderful day out, beautiful gardens, woodlands and pools, with so many different areas to explore. Excellent access to toilets, food and water on an exceptionally hot day also plenty of shade to enjoy too.

RHS Garden Wisley is a beautifully curated showcase of horticulture and one of Surrey’s finest places for a peaceful day out. As the flagship garden of the Royal Horticultural Society, it offers stunning planting, seasonal colour, and inspiration throughout the year. My favourite area is the Rock Garden, one of Wisley’s oldest and most dramatic features. Its winding alpine paths, cascading water, and diverse specialist plants create the feeling of a miniature mountain landscape. The facilities are excellent too, with cafés, a lovely shop, and plenty of places to sit and enjoy the surroundings. A truly inspiring and tranquil garden to visit.

Lovely place to visit, we have been going on and off for many years . Annual membership can be good value if you visit more than a few times a year, we find it means you are happy to go and leave as you choose. Lots of parking but it can get very busy at times especially school holidays like Halloween half term. Good restaurant choices at various locations with toilets. Good place for a a walk to enjoy the views, plants and trees. The big greenhouse is filled with amazing plants.
