Chessington World of Adventures

Chessington World of Adventures brings together rollercoasters, animal encounters, and a full theme park of family friendly fun in one West London location. It's one of the UK's best loved days out for families with younger children, blending thrill rides with a real working zoo, so there's something for every member of the group.

Our Chessington gift tickets cover entry for one, two, three, or four people, plus more immersive options like a VIP giraffe safari or an overnight break with breakfast included. Whatever the occasion, it's an easy way to hand someone a ready made day (or weekend) out, with the date left entirely up to them.

Chessington FAQs

Is Chessington suitable for young children?

Yes. Chessington World of Adventures is known for being family friendly, with a good mix of gentler rides and attractions alongside its bigger rollercoasters, making it a popular choice for visitors with younger children.

Is Chessington more of a zoo or more of a theme park?

Both. Chessington was originally a zoo before the rides were added, and it's kept that dual identity, with animal habitats and encounters woven in alongside the rollercoasters and rides. That combination is a big part of what sets it apart from other UK parks.

How does Chessington compare to Thorpe Park or Legoland?

Chessington sits in between the two: gentler and more animal focused than Thorpe Park's high thrill rides, but with more rollercoasters and bigger rides than the younger skewing Legoland. It tends to suit families with a wider age range in the group.

What should I pack or bring for a day at Chessington?

Comfortable shoes for a lot of walking, weather appropriate clothing since much of the park is outdoors, and sun protection in summer. Food and drink are available on site, though some visitors bring a picnic to keep costs down.
