Lovely family day out! The children enjoyed meeting the animals, exploring the historic buildings, and playing in the outdoor areas. Plenty to see and do, friendly staff, and lots of space to walk around. A great mix of farm fun and local history. Would definitely visit again. 🐑🚜🌿

We visited Kent Life as a family with our two young cousins, aged 6 and 7, and it was a brilliant success! The kids absolutely loved it from start to finish.The highlight for them was definitely seeing all the farm animals up close and getting to feed them. They were thrilled feeding the goats, sheep, pigs, and even the donkeys – their little faces lit up with excitement! There was so much to see and do, with plenty of animals around the farm to keep them entertained and engaged the whole time.The site feels really authentic and well laid out, making it easy to wander around as a family. It was the perfect mix of education and fun – the children learned a bit about farm life while having an absolute blast.If you're looking for a lovely, hands-on day out with young children in Kent, I would highly recommend Kent Life. The kids are already asking when we can go back!Perfect for ages 3–10 especially. Highly recommended! 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦🐐🐖

We had a lovely time at Kent Life on the weekend. There were plenty of food and drink options. The park was great which the children enjoyed the most. There aren’t loads of animals to see, but the animals they were able to feed they loved. And they also enjoyed stroking one of the rabbits in the cuddle corner. Overall a good few hours for the entrance price. And they offer blue light discount too which is appreciated.

My family and I went there for a child's party a while ago and decided to get an annual pass for that family because we loved it so much. First of all, it's really interesting. There are so many little bits of information just dotted around the site, some are in plain view and some are a little hidden but it's all very informative. Secondly, for children there is a plethora of activities and sessions to attend. With the bird sessions, the feeding sessions, the paint a pottery, soft play, outdoor park, and the tractor ride there is just so much to do. Thirdly, its relatively inexpensive. If you're local and needing something during the weekday afternoons and weekends then this is well worth the money. The coffee shops, pizza stall, the pottery, all the additions aren't expensive like other British outdoor centres. It's well located so I recommend anyone from Canterbury to Gravesend/Dartford can make it for a quick run.

Visited Kent Life on Sunday with my Daughter and grandsons and had a truly lovely day. We have been before a few times and always enjoy all the animals especially the little ones in farmyard friends. The boys particularly enjoyed being able to hold the rabbit. The grotto was beautifully decorated with woodland animals. They also had a tv screen and bubbles and little quiz questions in the trees which are a great addition to entertain when queuing. The Santa was kind and the toy selection was impressive. We enjoyed the magic show, elf school, build a bear and the mince pie and mulled wine provided a rest whilst the boys decorated their gingerbread men. All in all another enjoyable day out at Kent Life.
