Take a trip to Chessington World of Adventures – where the wild meets the wonderful for a day of family fun! Nestled in the heart of Surrey, this theme park and zoo combo offers a thrilling escape from the ordinary for parents and kids alike.
Embark on a wild adventure through the park’s themed lands, from the prehistoric thrills of the Land of the Dinosaurs to the enchanted wonders of Wild Asia. With over 40 rides and attractions to explore, there’s never a dull moment at Chessington.
For thrill-seekers, brave the twists and turns of roller coasters like the Vampire and Dragon’s Fury, or cool off with a splash on the thrilling water rides. Meanwhile, little ones can explore the interactive play areas and meet their favorite characters at the live shows and meet-and-greets.
But the fun doesn’t stop there – Chessington is also home to a world-class zoo, where you can come face-to-face with over 1,000 exotic animals from around the globe. From majestic lions to playful penguins, there’s a furry, feathery, or scaly friend waiting to be discovered around every corner.
Want the magic to last longer? Short stay packages include glamping and hotel breaks with early entrance to the park when it’s quieter.
So why wait?
If animals and roller coasters are your idea of fun why not take a look at our reviews of London Zoo and Thorpe Park.
I’d say Chessington is best for kids and OK for teens. I had a good time here with my family but it’s not got the same thrills for teenagers as Thorpe Park. Wouldn’t recommend for group of teenagers but it’s good for a family with a teenager.
That said, a good day out, a small but well looked after zoo, a mini safari where you see the typical African animals, plenty of choice for food and a sea life centre.
Recently took my friend’s 4 year and was a little disappointed by how tired everything looked. Disney-like queues as well even for the rides for the little ones. Slightly disappointing form an adult point of view but the 4 year old loved it.
