Places to go in Dartford Tunnel area

[popeye123]

Hi,
I'm arranging to meet friends for a day out with our children (all between 1 & 2 yrs).
We think the Dartford Tunnel area is roughly halfway (between Suffolk and West Sussex) so looking for any suggestions.
Something along the lines of a zoo or farm but also a rainy day backup just in case.
Probably don't want to travel more than 30mins from Dartford as half way is already an hours drive.
Thanks

Whale of a Time at Greenhithe is a back up for a wet day - just along the road from the Dartford Tunnel on the way to Bluewater.

Am thinking... it's my neck of the woods.

There is a nice country park, Shorne Wood - just along the A2 - google it. There is an enviromental centre, lovely gladed woodlands for picnics and ball games, marked trails to walk, BBQ area, gift shop. We go there alot for family picnics.
