Why families love Kent

Kent offers diverse activities from sandy beaches and ancient castles to sprawling country parks and exciting wildlife encounters, ensuring there's something to captivate every family member. With excellent transport links from London and across the South East, plus a wealth of family-friendly accommodation, it's an ideal choice for creating lasting memories together.

Things to do with the kids

  • Explore historic castles like Leeds Castle or Dover Castle, offering fascinating insights and often special family events.
  • Enjoy a day at the beach along the coast, perhaps building sandcastles at Margate or crabbing in Whitstable.
  • Visit one of Kent's excellent wildlife parks or animal sanctuaries, such as Howletts Wild Animal Park or Port Lympne Reserve.
  • Discover enchanting gardens and country parks, perfect for picnics, walks, and letting children run free.
  • Take a ride on a heritage railway or explore a fun farm park for hands-on experiences.

Family travel tips for Kent

  • Consider hiring a car for flexibility, as public transport can be limited in rural areas, though main towns are well-connected by train.
  • Pack layers and waterproofs – British weather is unpredictable! Don't forget beach gear and sturdy shoes for exploring.
  • Look for accommodation near coastal towns like Broadstairs or Whitstable for beach access, or in the Kent Weald for countryside adventures.
  • Always check attraction websites for opening times, accessibility information, and any pre-booking requirements, especially during peak seasons.
