8 Best Activities In Herne Bay
Wildwood is the day out most families here build a trip around: animals, outdoors, and enough of it to justify the journey. The rest of the Herne Bay list is compact and mostly under cover, six of eight, including Playzone Herne Bay, The Seaside Museum Herne Bay and Herons Leisure Pool. Herne Bay Memorial Park is the default when nobody wants to commit to a whole afternoon, and The Little Green Bookshop shows up in both columns, which is unusual for a shop and rather nice.

A small list, but a sensible one: a wildlife day, a pool, a museum, a park and a play centre. That covers most weekends without much argument. Check what is running at each venue before you travel.
Visiting Herne Bay with kids: FAQs
What is the biggest day out on this list?
Wildwood by a clear margin. It is the outdoor wildlife listing and the one most likely to fill a day on its own. Everything else here is shorter by nature. If you are travelling in for the day, build around that one and use Herne Bay Memorial Park or the seafront museum to top up the time.
Where do we go with a toddler?
Playzone Herne Bay is the indoor play listing and the obvious first stop. Herons Leisure Pool works if your toddler likes water and you are braced for the changing rooms. Herne Bay Memorial Park needs no structure at all, and The Little Green Bookshop is a calm option for when the day has gone on slightly too long.
How does the town hold up in bad weather?
Better than most seaside places. Six of the eight listings are indoor, a high proportion for a coastal town, and they include a pool, a museum, a play centre and Herne Bay Hippodrome. The wildlife park and the memorial park are the two that a heavy day of rain takes off the table.
