Animal attractions in Kent include Wildwood in Herne Bay. Hundreds of native animals are set in 40 acres of ancient woodland, and its conservation projects aim to save our most endangered native mammals. It is a great day out, you can walk around the site and see deer, birds, boars, rodents, snakes, mice, foxes, wolves, and a variety of animals in their natural habitats. There are talks and experiences to learn about the animals and Wildwood's work. There is a play area with Kent's largest drop slide, a wild fort to explore and lots more.
