Visit Kent Life
Kent Life provides plenty of fun activities for children of all ages. Run wild in the outdoor play area and take a fun farm ride. For those inevitable wet days in Kent, our large indoor soft play area is a hit and covers three floors of fun to explore. Alternatively, be creative in the paint-a-pot studio, or get to know our smaller farmyard friends in the Farmyard Friends walkthrough. Don’t miss Mr Moo’s Messy Play complete with mud kitchen!
Fun farm rides come in the shape of our land train, or tractor trailer rides – please ask on arrival which is running on your visit day. Our year-round hunt for various mystery wooden objects dotted around the site – with delicious prizes as a reward – is always popular.
Our daily itinerary of fun activities changes with the seasons – at Easter, meet the newborn lambs, use the sand pit and take part in our Ice Cream Festival in the summer, try stilt walking as the Hoppers did in the autumn, or take a ride on Santa’s sleigh in winter.’’
