Every family has different things that they like doing together and at different ages. The suggestions below are not something one should take in a specific order, but one which provides choice for different times of the year, as a family grows and to meet different budgets and expectations.
It is also worth checking our What's On listing as there are some fantastic days out with the kids, like the Ice Cream Festival, Maidstone Mela, Fireworks Night, Halloween Events and meeting Father Christmas. There are also workshops, theatre and all kinds of things in the school holidays and half-terms.
