MillaJuly 5, 2016Combination of an amusement park, zoo, activity zone and aquarium. Our 3year old loved it, which in the end is what matters. Two days was plenty of time for exploring everything.Upvoted Dec 27, 2024
Richard JagdharApril 17, 2014Kids eat free after 3pm at a number of restaurants. Please note: Only free when purchasing an adult meal, though it's still good value especially in the all you can eat Pizza and Pasta buffet.
Waseem TayebJuly 29, 2018Nice park , gathering animals and safari with theme playing and adventure. Make sure to to buy a fast track tickets for all games, otherwise will be useless.
Alia AlhabibJuly 24, 2016I really like it. We had so much fun. We play together. recommend please for all family with all ages of kids. I love how they combine the Zoo with the Theme park.- Donna SouthallAugust 6, 2014Use your annual pass and then get fast passes to skip the queues and make the most of your day. Great for 9-10 year olds as only a couple of rides which need height above 140cm.
Suzy TrewApril 4, 2015Great rides, aimed at younger children but I found it fun too. The 'zufari'& whole animal section was superb. Food available in park is satisfactory but not great. The hotels are good.
Matthew KentMay 3, 2015New Dreamworks penguin show is so much better than last years. Some of the rides are starting to show their age.lots of rides for small kids- Johnny LincolnApril 6, 2013Free tea, coffee or hot chocolate after 3pm for Merlin Annual Pass holders. A lifesaver in this cold weather and it's subject to fair use which means more than one ;)
Dan TransformerFebruary 4, 2016Closed suprisingly early, even for a sunday, so make sure you get there first thing. Good few hours had though, and plenty to see.
Tanya NudnovaMay 5, 2016It is good for kids 6-10 year old. We came during a weekday and their were no queue at all. I am not sure it is worth queueing for any of the rides, especially if they are 60-75 minutes long- ChrissyApril 12, 2013Families - go to Adventure Services to get a parent swap card AND get kids measured. They give them a wrist band so you don't have to keep getting measured
- Sarah HallJune 2, 2011Get there before opening if you have to queue. In the holidays the traffic builds early. Better to go on rainy days. Head for the bigger rides first do everything else later.
Sara LiuOctober 28, 2014Use the 2 for 1 discount from the leaflet that you can get at train stations, save money!!
Nicky FairbairnJuly 29, 2010Good day out, get a parent pass from Assisted Services if you have small kids so that only one parent has to que for the height restricted rides then the other parent goes straight on via the exit :-)
Lee CroucherAugust 28, 2014Amazing day out - go at half term and you will wait a MINIMUM of 75 minutes PER ride
Ian RidleyJuly 16, 2012Use the maps to decide where you want to go. To actually find anything follow the signs. Toilets best found by asking staff
Susie CulhaneMay 3, 2012Chessington have a Rainy Day Guarantee in place so you don't miss out if you have bad weather when you visit! Read more
shahad MJuly 6, 2013I made a mistake by going on a saturday because its always soooo busy so next time say yess!! to weekdays ..
Sarah Lister MorfordJuly 13, 2012I went with my 6 year old son. Although half the park is good for that age the other half is not. Would be nice if they had some play areas for the younger kids like Legoland.
Jeff PadgeMarch 1, 2015Only one till open at the entrance then only one gate open to get in or out, it like they can't function here without making people queue !!!
Patricio ColomboMay 12, 2012If you get the "annual" drink offer, it only lasts until the end of the year, so be careful
ᴡMarch 14, 2012Remember coming here on a school trip back in the days, used to love it. Now I think its shite.
Amy MortonJuly 4, 2013Not really great for families with the youngest child about 12/13, most of the rides are tame and quite short!
Stacey BradySeptember 11, 2010If you have a child under 1 metre, go onto chessington website & print out a parent & toddler voucher. Only £18 & still loads to see & do.- Hoxton SalonAugust 16, 2011Buy a bounce back ticket while you are in the park - makes your next visit much cheaper
Dom C.W.February 17, 2013It's just 'zoo days' until March 2013 as the theme park season doesn't start until then. Don't bother coming until the rides open in March, the zoo is shit and there's nothing to do.
Head to Xtra Adventures for Fastrack, Animal Feeding and Behind The Scenes tours!!
Ben LeeAugust 11, 2014They try to extort money from you at every turn. Icing on the cake was cash machines that charge £1.60 per withdrawal.
Alex ComerfordOctober 24, 2013Could really do with a sign before you pay saying half the stuff is closed
Twizted BizkitMarch 27, 2010Go to Thorpe Park this place is way overpriced with less rides and the 'new' Kobra ride is VERY dull.
Alex BunchApril 14, 2013DON'T waste your money on photos or photo packages here...quality is crap and no one cares...

"Best ride in the park. Arrive early and get a couple of rides in before it gets too busy and then return at the end of your stay for another couple of goes as it quietens down. Try and get front row!"

"A lovely ride. Broke down once when it was spinning in the same place so got fastracks. It was fun in actual fact. More fun when it works. It's a must do for rare visits."
