We've just spent an amazing evening in the company of the 'Butcher' - we completed the experience with just 41 seconds to spare and without giving anything away I'm so glad we made it!!! Our host Jay was great to have around very informative as this was our first time - but trust me this will not be our last great fun and a great birthday present for our son, looking forward to many more chances to 'Escape Kent', thanks guys....

Booked a group of 5 for this experience, this is a one room event so will not take anymore than 5 people. It’s a 60 minute experience & the time goes really swiftly, atmospheric & great fun, plenty of different clues along the way to keep the brain matter working. Will be back to do the other experiences, good value for money.

If I was a teenager I’d be up for going to this place every weekend! A great setup and first class customer service. It’s worth the money as you are allowed to spend as long as you like learning to climb and challenging yourself, as well as an area where you can relax after a session. I paid for the 10 sessions which works out cheaper in the long run.

Reviewed By maggieyaxleysmith - Canterbury, United Kingdom
This is a great playground for children with swings for various ages, a zip wire which our grandchildren are too young for yet, imaginative slides and wooden houses that children love to spend time in. Then you can see the boats going by on the river and walk easily into Westgate Gardens and feed the ducks and moorhens. What more could young children want??? We take some frozen sweet corn or peas which have defrosted by the time we get to the ducks and they love this, often coming up on to the riverbank along with the pigeons. The bridge between Toddlers Cove and the Gardens have some lovely pictures and a poem by local poet Maggie Harris. If you are doing any grannie or grandpa sitting which we do once a week this is definitely a place to go.
