Chessington World of Adventures Resort - Chessington

Dai Galarza

My family and I recently stayed at the Chessington Resort for three days, and we had an absolutely wonderful experience. From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by the variety of amenities and attractions available, making it the perfect getaway for both adults and children.

The hotel itself was comfortable and well-equipped, providing everything we needed for a relaxing stay. We especially enjoyed the themed decor and the attention to detail throughout the resort. One of the highlights was definitely the access to the rides and the safari experience, which added an adventurous touch to our trip.

Our favorite rides were The Vampire and Tiger Rock, which provided just the right mix of excitement and thrills. We also enjoyed exploring the different attractions throughout the park, and it was clear that there was something for everyone, no matter their age.

Overall, Chessington Resort exceeded our expectations, offering a unique combination of fun, relaxation, and adventure. We highly recommend it to families looking for an unforgettable experience!

Really nice theme park! Basically, it’s meant for children, but we (adults) had a great time here. We especially enjoyed the Jumanji World and the Vampire zones?‍♂️. However, the biggest advantage is the zoo and all the animals they have there. You can find cute little monkeys and parrots that come really close to you

Arrived here around 11am and easily spent about 5 hours here. There’s lots to do however the queues do build up very quickly. Recommend getting the big popular rides done and out of the way quickly ensuing shortest wait. Food and drink is always expensive about £5 for a Fanta and a water so be prepared for that. However great fun. Lots of animals and lots of rides

I was disappointed to find a large percentage of rides closed when I visited. I can understand rides being closed for maintenance etc. but they were just deserted and nothing was happening. I understand that not all food outlets would be open on quieter days to but ninety percent of them were closed.
Yes I know there is an App, yes I know it tells you what is closed but that does not make it fair or acceptable to guests.
I also think that given the high cost of entry and the high cost of food and drink inside it's outrageous to charge £10 to park your car.
The rides that were open were a lot of fun and as it was a quiet day I didn't have to wait long. Thankfully no fast pass queue jumpers, another money grabbing feature which is both elitist and unfair. It costs £100 for the ultimate fast pass, just pure greed by Merlin entertainment. Sadly this is becoming standard throughout the industry as the greedy money makers find ever more incentive ways to empty our wallets.

Was a lot more pleasant today. Didn't buy food or drink ,took my own and saved myself quite a bit.
Today It was quiet so had time to visit the zoo section which I enjoyed very much. Added a star to my review score

Emery was brilliant, probably the most energetic and engaged zoo keeper I came across! Very knowledgeable and passionate. She made our day out with animals so much better, taught us a lot about gorillas, lions and owls! I’d be coming back solely to hear her talk again!
Well done Chessington Park to get the right person for the job !

The park itself is fantastic, rides for brave and not so brave, and animals were all out! So lucky!

The theme park provided a very calming atmosphere, and it slightly reminded me of the Animal Kingdom. It was delightful to observe that the animals had a considerable amount of space within their respective enclosures.

Regrettably, my six-year-old child only rated the experience as five out of ten because the majority of the rides had height restrictions that were too high for him. In all fairness, some of the rides did seem to have excessively stringent height requirements.

Overall, it was a wonderful morning spent with my family. The Chinese characters displayed at the park's main entrance were aesthetically pleasing. I would highly recommend the chicken katsu curry with noodles.

I would highly recommend that if you're travelling more than 2 hours travelling distance from this place, stay overnight and make the most of the Early Riders hour before the park opens to the public because you can save yourself a fortune from having to do the book and ride thing to jump the queue. There's no getting away from the fact that a visit to this place is fantastic but - particularly any overnight stay - is extortionately priced. Take snacks and drinks in a rucksack or something to go round the theme park because we lost several pounds on vending machines that didn't work and there's no staff roaming around to be on assistance for anything. When we did have to ask a member of staff about a query, not one was able to help us because they only had knowledge of the exact area/job they were doing, which was very frustrating. Staff were very polite however and the ones in the restaurant were particularly helpful.

Very good Park, although found it quite hard to navigate with the Map. Visited for the day but feel we missed so much getting a bit lost. The app was quite good for navigating and seeing queue times however, and our last ride was gone 5pm their close time which was decent. All in all a very good day out and not madly expensive either (unless you pay to eat there).
