There are over 400 different animals at Howlett’s, including Kent’s only
giant anteaters. As well as these magnificent beasts you will find gorillas,
elephants, tigers, leopards, monkeys and more. You can even walk with
the lemurs in their own specially designed leafy environment – it is a
breathtaking sight to watch them as they leap through the trees above your
head. As well as the animals and a lovely children’s play area there are a
variety of kiosks and cafés for refreshment throughout the park. Howlett’s
is open all year round and visiting in the autumn is a pleasure as it is less
busy than during the summer, but the animals are still active and easy to
spot!

At Hovercraft Adventures in Paddock Wood you can enjoy some adrenalin
pumping activities, and the weather won’t matter. In one of these incredible
hovercrafts, you are flying one foot above the ground and, after tuition from
a fully trained and experienced instructor, it will be time to head out to the
hovercross track which enables you to fly your vehicle over both land and
water. As long as you are in good health and are over 12 years old, you
can pilot one of these amazing machines, and at Hovercraft Adventures
you’ll have up to two hours to enjoy yourself!
