Some years ago Chessington was the up to date theme park and Thorpe Park was lagging somewhat behind. Since then the major investment and new rides have gone to Thorpe Park so they are now aimed at very different markets. I visit Chessington every year with a group of 9-12 year olds and it is ideal for this age range, and younger. ...  Read the complete review

Chessington World of Adventures is situated just off Junction 9 of the M25 in Surrey. It is a theme park for all the family. From March till October (actual dates vary each year) the theme park rides at Chessington are open. For the off-peak parts of the year Chessington has something else to offer, the park opens up for just the zoo which is ...  Read the complete review

Chessington World of Adventures is somewhere I went a lot as a kid - and obviously I remember it being better than it is now as I went back a few years ago and it's more of a family park than a park with thrills! Great for the kids, but teenagers should aim for Thorpe Park or Alton Towers if they want the mad rides! It is located just ...  Read the complete review

Chessington World of Adventures is a theme park located in Chavington, Oh no I mean Chessington in South West London.

Chessington is a well known theme park with a range of rides and attractions - a zoo and sealife centre are to be found here - which is situated close to junction 9 of the M3. I have been several times as an accompanying adult on school trips (not as fun as it sounds) but my most recent trips have been with a toddler, so my experience is a little ...  Read the complete review

Until about 3 years ago, I took my former family to Alton Towers and Thorpe Park, but never considered the 3rd of the Merlin groups 3 theme parks - Chessington World of Adventures in Chessington just a short distance off the M25 - sure I'd seen the signs for it when driving along the M25 near Thorp Park but being that much older I thought it would ...  Read the complete review

I've just got back from Chessington World of Adventures and I've had a brilliant day out with my family. The ticket price of £33 per adult seemed steep at first (even with our Tesco 2 for 1 it seemed expensive for a day out) but it actually represented really good value and we all had a great time. We made a bee-line for the Bubbleworks ride ...  Read the complete review

I don't live too far away from Chesssington so used to visit Chessington World of Adventures a lot as a kid and a teenager. Thorpe park is also near by, Chessington's sister park and member of the Tussaud's group. When I was growing up Chessington was the cool one to go to which had all the scary rides and Thorpe Park was more for the little ones. ...  Read the complete review

I am 14, and went along with my friend, her parents and her three-year-old brother. As it was short notice, I did not check on the website to see how much it was. If I did, I probably wouldn't have gone because it was so expensive. My friend and her family had some lower-priced tickets which meant we couldn't get a group deal, so I had to pay £33 ...  Read the complete review

As a kid I used to love visiting Chessington World of Adventures and rather sadly I still do. The last time I visited was last summer and that is what I'll be basing this review on. Chessington World of Adventures is a theme park and zoo in one. It is based in Surrey, just 12 miles from London. The park is well signed up if you are ...  Read the complete review

Took the kids to Chessington last year as we had got some vouchers meaning we had got a family deal for effectively half price. We turned up relatively early as we had been burned from experiences at other theme parks where we've had a massive wait before we even got in. This was not the case at Chessington and they seemed pretty ...  Read the complete review

This ageing dinosaur of theme parks still has a lot to offer for families if you pay the right amount to get in!! We currently use Merlin entertainment passes that we got using clubcard vouchers,much,much cheaper. Also means that i dont feel like i have been mugged every time i walk through the gate!! Have never been keen on the ...  Read the complete review

Ive loved Chessington World of Adventures for years (im 29 now and still go every year!) The theme park comprises of a smallish zoo and a typical theme park, there is something for all ages apart from perhaps the teenage thrillseekers, as most of the rides are abit more sedate then most. The zoo is very nicely done, and all ...  Read the complete review

I have always been a huge fan of Chessington World of Adventures. I was taken there every year by my Mum when I was younger, and so was my sister - although it was mainly just a zoo when my sister was really young. So, now I have kids of my own, when we started talking about theme parks - for me, Chessington was my hands down choice. ...  Read the complete review

Went to chessington with my partner and sister (aged 8) on the sunniest day in September, and yes it was packed. We decided to head for Dragons falls (the log flume) but as we got closer we noticed that it was out of use so decided to try something else and maybe come back later. First ride we queued for was Dragons Fury, expected wait of ...  Read the complete review

Just got back from Chessington and what a wonderful day we had. My son and I (3 years old) left bright and early and braved the traffic on the M25 (surprisingly we only got caught in 1 minor tailback!) We were at the gates with approx under 100 other people waiting for them to let us in. The countdown started and we rushed ...  Read the complete review
