Pro tips to help you make a pick

The entry tickets are the most flexible option, giving you full access to the theme park, Chessington Zoo, and the SEA LIFE centre. It’s the best choice if you want to spend the entire day exploring the 10 themed lands, including the ‘World of Jumanji’

The London Eye combo is best if you’re planning to see the city's sights as well as the theme park-it’s the ultimate money-saver. You get the thrill of the rollercoasters one day and the best views of the capital the next, all while saving 5% compared to buying them separately.

To avoid long waits for heavy hitters like Mandrill Mayhem or Vampire, download the official app. You can view live queue times and even purchase fast-track passes for specific rides.

Don't just stick to the rides! Chessington is home to over 1,000 animals. Check the daily schedule for the sea lion presentations and tiger feedings—they are a huge hit with kids and offer a great break from the adrenaline.

The gates typically open at 10am, but the car parks and security checks open earlier. Arriving 30 minutes before opening allows you to head straight to the back of the park (like the World of Jumanji) before the crowds build up.

What I like It combines a theme park, zoo, and SEA LIFE aquarium in one place. ZUFARI is a great experience where you can see animals such as giraffes and rhinos. PAW Patrol World is excellent for younger children. There are plenty of rides for different ages and heights.
