Great day at Beaulieu. We've been a few times before but this time was the best. We arrived early enough to take the monorail first then worked our way around the museum to the children's play area which is very good, the kids spent more time here than in the museum. Not bothered as the car collection is good and the children aren't quite interested yet (4 and 7). Then walked a bit of the gardens and saw some of the falconry. All in all a great day, the good weather helped. Plenty to see and do, a day with good weather makes a big difference if you're a family. If you're a car enthusiast, the collection is great with a well thought out storyline as you wander around. I personally prefer the Haynes International Motor Museum, as it has more of a collection of cars I'm interested in but it is a bit out of the way. Will definitely be going back to Beaulieu.

Brilliant day out. Spent over 6 hours here, there is so much to see. Something for everyone whether you are 7 or 70 plus. Gardens are full of surprises with many different sculptures. The Motor museum, the house and the Abbey were all so interesting with lots of information to read and visuals to watch. If you want to escape for a quiet walk or just to sit and contemplate, then there are lovely spots to do so. Highly recommend a visit.

Although the museum is excellent, who knew the grounds and extra bits and bobs were so amazing as well? Enormous grounds. Beautiful gardens. Impressive Abbey and ruins. Interesting house and history. And best of all for a parent with a three year old child, THE MOST FANTASTIC AND HUGE ADVENTURE PLAYGROUND EVER! The restaurant is very good as well. Great value compared to rival attractions. Oh, and the monorail is still a wonderful thing!

Fantastic family day out. We have not visited Beaulieu for many years, this was our first visit as a family and will certainly not be our last. The Motor Museum was very interesting and our children (9 & 7) really enjoyed the spy trail, what a great idea. Lovely time spent exploring Palace House and the WW2 exhibit. We cannot speak highly enough of Little Beaulieu play area, what a fantastic addition, well thought out and executed. The children had so much fun playing and my husband and I enjoyed a relaxing sit down in the sun while we waited, we were so impressed with this feature. The icing on the cake is that our tickets are valid for entry to the Motor Museum for the next year! Thank you Beaulieu for a wonderful day out.

Nice surprise to be given an annual pass. So from the off we were in a great mood. Every where was clean and tidy. Nice amount of guests, it was however a little busy in the car museum . Wait times were short and lots to do. It was nice we could go out to the car to get our picnic food and come back in. Cost of food was very high, ice cream portion was tiny for the cost of £3.50 a tub! Ice cream shop staff were friendly but they did not seem to work efficiently. One was just watching the other one and not really doing much! The queue for this was long. Overall had a really nice day out with friends.
