EGGSplorers Event, Chessington World of Adventures Resort

Round up your little bunnies and head to Chessington World of Adventures Resort this Easter! Why? Because it’s time to get EGG-cited for their EGGSplorers event! This must-see Easter event has come back for its second year – so you know it’ll be egg-stra special. Whether you visit during the weekends running up to Easter or during the school holidays itself – it’ll be one for the memory books.

It’s time to 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! Psstwe 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.

Småland crèche now open in-store!

Shopping for some Easter decorations? IKEA knows how bored kids can get when they go shopping and when they’re bored, they get restless and when they get restless they get upset. This can lead to you cutting your shopping trip short due to feeling overwhelmed.

However, with the new Småland crèche, parents can browse the store peacefully while the kids are being looked after by staff in the free onsite play area for 45 minutes.

While this may not be a free Easter activity, it’s a real helping hand for families during the half term. The creche will be in-store from January 2023 – January 2024.
