VISITKENT
A WORLD OF ADVENTURE,
ACTIVITY AND EXCITEMENT AT
QUEX PARK
QUEX PARK IS KENT'S MOST EXCITING DAY OUT FOR ALL THE FAMILY. LOCATED 15
MINUTES WEST OF MARGATE, ESCAPE THE STRESSES OF EVERYDAY LIFE AND BE
ENCHANTED BY THIS MUST-VISIT DESTINATION.
Established by John Powell-Powell, Quex Park is a
historic country estate, but like many traditional
estates it has diversified its many redundant and
outdated agricultural buildings while retaining its
beautiful Victorian splendour.
The park is now the proud home to many visitor
attractions, leisure activities, bespoke retail and food
and drink outlets, as well as offering a packed and
exciting annual events calendar with something for
the whole family to enjoy.
Quex Park is best known for the award-winning
Powell-Cotton Museum, Quex House and Gardens,
which offers an exciting, fun and interactive day out.
You will find amazing collections, natural history
galleries, a vast array of art and archaeology, and
one of the most impressive dioramas in Europe, as
well as being able to get hands-on in The Cube,
where you can handle over 400 objects.
Relax with a stroll around the beautiful gardens of
Quex House, the Secret Garden Centre or Quex
60
Craft Village before enjoying a scrumptious afternoon
tea at Mamma Feelgoods café. Then stock up
with the finest locally produced food and drink from
Quex Barn.
Entertain the children at Jungle Jim’s indoor and
outdoor playcentre, or take the alpacas on a trek
through the woodland areas. Challenge your family
and friends to a Nerf battle or a game of paintballing
or adventure golf – who’s going to be the winner?
As the summer season fast approaches, The Maize
Maze and Field of Fun reopens on 1st July, and
this year welcomes the introduction of the African
Safari Maze as well as the popular Nectar Maze
from last year.
In addition to the two huge interactive mazes, there
are a range of other activities for you to enjoy
including barnyard games, a woodland adventure
trail, coin-operated mini tractors, tractor rides and
the only Jumbo Jumper and Mini Jumper air pillows
in Thanet, ensuring that it’s an a-maizing day out
for all the family.
New for 2019 is Quex Tours, an interactive tractor
and trailer tour of the Quex Park estate featuring
some iconic landmarks and a journey packed full of
facts. The tour is presented by John Powell-Powell
himself (John Powell-Powell created much of the
estate you see today) and is brought back to life via
an onboard TV.
Quex Park is an all-weather, all-family, all-
encompassing day out with a unique community of
local leisure businesses brought together on a country
estate where you can make everlasting memories
each time you visit.
Entry into the park is free and each attraction
has its own opening times and admission fees
where applicable. More information can be found
