Things To Do In The Easter Holidays

This Easter, it’s time to get EGG-cited for Chessington’s EGGSplorers event! This must-see Easter event is back for a second year running – so you know it’ll blow your mind! Whether you visit during the weekends running up to Easter or during the school holidays itself – it’ll be one for the memory books.

First, you should get up and moving as you hunt and find GIANT decorated Easter eggs with the Activity Trail! They’ll be dotted around the theme park, so make sure to keep your eyes peeled! Psst…we heard there’s some Cadbury goodies for those who complete the Activity Trail!

Once you’ve had all sorts of egg-citement, you can meet Bonnie the Easter Bunny and hop to the Easter show! Think pastel colours, Easter bunnies and bright happy faces! There will be meets and greets too, as well as photo opportunities and egg-straordinary Easter shows!

You can also embark on an ethereal journey through the Enchanted Hollow*… Where you can burrow and wander through the underground town and meet all cute and cuddly animal residents. They’re celebrating Easter for the first time so it’ll be a treat to experience! We hear that the bunnies LOVE an Easter egg hunt…

Don’t forget the brilliant theme park that is Chessington World of Adventures Resort! There’s over 40 rides and attractions to experience. From the adrenaline-pumping Vampire rollercoaster to the wild World of Jumanji, there’s a ride for every thrill level. For younger adventurers, the Adventure Tree carousel offers gentle thrills in a fantastically themed setting. And for those more daring, we suggest you take a spin on the Mamba Strike!

Plus, Chessington is home to over 1,000 animals, including lions, tigers, and giraffes. The ZUFARI: Ride into Africa! offers families the chance to see these majestic creatures up close, providing an educational experience that highlights the importance of conservation.

We can’t imagine a better day out than with Chessington World of Adventures Resort! 

*Enchanted Hollow is an optional extra and can be bought alongside an EGGSplorers Ticket.

Families listen up! Get egg-cited with an Easter event like no other!

Are you egg-splorers at the ready? It’s time to take part in the famous ‘Great Easter Egg Hunt’ as you find eggs hidden in giant chicks around the farm! Psst…if you bring back the goodies, you’ll receive an egg-stra special treat – plus they’ve got a challenge for both under and over 7’s!
