7 Best Activities In Sevenoaks
National Trust - Knole Park is the obvious anchor, and once you look past it Sevenoaks tilts hard towards small children. Four of the seven entries are play centres of one kind or another — Oakie Dokes Play House, Little Street Role Play Centre Sevenoaks, Gymboree Play & Music Sevenoaks and Buzy Bees Playbarn. Ightham Mote and River Hill Himalayan Gardens ask for dry weather and a slower pace.

Sevenoaks is strong on the under-sevens and thinner once children hit double figures. Six of the seven have indoor space, so keep a play centre in reserve and save the parkland for a day that stays dry.
Visiting Sevenoaks with kids: FAQs
Is Sevenoaks a good bet for a baby or toddler?
Better than most towns its size on this site. Gymboree Play & Music Sevenoaks and Little Street Role Play Centre Sevenoaks pitch themselves at exactly that age, Oakie Dokes Play House is indoors and self-contained, and Buzy Bees Playbarn adds a patch of outside to the same visit, useful when a small child has had enough of the noise indoors.
Our eldest is eleven and refuses soft play. What then?
The honest answer is that the list gets shorter. National Trust - Knole Park gives an eleven-year-old room and something to look at, Ightham Mote has cover as well as grounds, so a wet spell is survivable, and River Hill Himalayan Gardens rewards a child who likes climbing about outdoors more than one who wants a ride to queue for.
How many family attractions do you list in Sevenoaks?
Seven at the moment. Six offer shelter of some sort, four have ground to cross outside, and a handful sit in both counts, which is why those two figures overshoot the total. What that really tells you is that the town copes well with bad weather and that a dry day is when the two garden and parkland entries earn their place.
