The Hive: A multi-sensory, immersive experience highlighting the largely secret life of Bees. Inspired by scientific research and standing 17 metres tall, it's constructed from 170,000 parts including 1,000 led lights!

Treetop Walkway: Towering 18 metres about the woodland floor, take a stroll amongst the forest canopy and experience the breathtaking view across the gardens.

Palm House: Constructed in 1844, The Palm House is a living laboratory and recreates the climate of a rainforest, allowing tropical plants from some of the most threatened environments on Earth to thrive. The Palm House is also Kew's most recognisable building and has earned iconic status as the World's most important surviving Victorian glass and iron structure.
