Chessington, Greater LondonAbout Chessington World of Adventures Resort
Get in touch with your wild side at Chessington World of Adventures Resort! Gasp, giggle, shriek and scream as you see and do things you haven't before! Feel your heart pound while you zoom around your first wild ride and stare wide-eyed as you encounter endangered animals.
With over 40 rides and attractions, like Croc Drop and Mandrill Mayhem, it's a fantastic theme park. Plus, there's also a zoo! Chessington Zoo has over 1,000 animals for you to see, and you can even watch the world’s largest tiger species walk above you in Europe’s first overhead trails and over at Tiger Rock. Don't forget to take a deep dive under the sea at Chessington Sea Life Centre!
We think it's an unforgettable family day out during the school holidays (and any other time)!
New at Chessington World of Adventures Resort
Why not drop into the world's first Jumanji-themed land - it's their wildest adventure yet! This key attraction has come straight from the big screen and beyond the board game to a thrilling theme park, and it'll suck families in...
Follow in the footsteps of Dr. Bravestone as you embark on a whole world of adventures to locate the Jaguar's Eye Jewel, lift the curse and save Jumanji! From the world's only Jumanji-themed roller coaster, Mandrill Mayhem, to Mamba Strike and Ostrich Stampede! There is something for every budding thrill seeker to enjoy!
Chessington World of Adventures Resort Big Thrills
For a family of daring explorers, there are lots of rides to satisfy your need for thrill! Take on the wild ride of the legendary Vampire rollercoaster as you fly through the skies and whizz over the treetops in a heart-stopping adventure! Then travel to the mythical Land of Dragons and soar like a winged beast on Dragon’s Fury while you’re swivelling 360 degrees! And for all you pirate ship ride fans, check out the Blue Barnacle! You'll feel like you've been caught in a sea storm (in the best way)!
The thrills don’t stop there — brave the drop and release the curse as you plunge 25m into the giant jaws of Croc Drop, slither like a snake on the untamed Kobra, and spin backwards and forwards on a 90-metre track at an awesome 43mph. Then make a splash as you journey down the river and come face to face with real Amur Tigers before plunging 50 feet down the face of Tiger Rock into the swirling waters below!
Little Thrills at Chessington World of Adventures Resort
There are so many big adventures for little rangers at Chessington, including adventure trails and play areas! Step straight into the pages of some of your favourite stories and meet the characters, too. Float down the lazy river on The Gruffalo River Ride Adventure as the much-loved story of The Gruffalo magically unfolds in front of your eyes. Help Witch and her Cat find her lost belongings in Room on the Broom – A Magical Journey. Visit the enchanted library and walk through the pages of this family favourite book as the stormy wind blows, sending the witch’s hat, bow and wand tumbling to the ground.
Then, journey to the Rainforest, with three rides perfect for little ones in search of their first wild adventure. Explore the rainforests of the world by road, river and from the treetop canopy on Jungle Rangers, River Rafts and Treetop Hoppers.
Animal Adventures at Chessington World of Adventures Resort Park & Zoo
No wild adventure is complete without exploring Chessington Zoo! With access to over 1,000 animals at the Resort, get ready to answer the call of the wild!
Meet a family of four endangered Amur tigers in Land of the Tiger and encounter these majestic animals as they roam above you in Europe’s first overhead trails. Learn more about the ‘dazzle’ of zebras, the Rothschild’s giraffe, Ankole cattle and ostriches as they roam the Wanyama Reserve before coming face-to-face with a mob of meerkats.
That's not all—you'll find a whole host of other creatures and critters, like white rhinos, sea lions, gorillas, and penguins (our personal favourite)! If marine life is more your thing, then prepare to get lost beneath the waves in an underwater world of exotic fish, sharks, and jellyfish at the SEA LIFE aquarium.
We recommend sticking around for daily talks and feeds from Chessington’s experienced teams. You'll hear all about endangered species both at home and further afield, and it's supported by Chessington Conversation.
