Chessington 10 Top Tips

Heading to the theme park soon? Here are our Top Tips for visiting!

1. Take your own water bottles in to the park to fill up with water through the day and keep you rehydrated.

2. Remember closing time is the time the queue to the ride will close – but not the ride itself so make sure you’re in  that queue before the park closes and you’ll get that very last ride in!

3. Pick up a map at the entrance so you can start to plan out your day. First check which of the daily shows you want to see and the times of them. We used ours to refer to lots and make a basic plan around.

4. Book tickets in advance online

5. Stay in the Resort Hotel if you can – they have special deals!

6. Check height restrictions before queuing

7. If it rains for more than one hour continuously on the day you visit Chessington offer a Rainy Day guarantee which will get you a free ticket back to Chessington on another day.

8. Invest in Fast Track wristbands

9. If you can hold out until later in the afternoon for lunch, kids eat free after 3pm in some outlets.

10. On busy days Chessington offers special passes to those with small children which allows just one parent to queue to go on a ride and then when it’s over the second parent can ride without having to queue.

Reviews

“We took our little boy for his 4th birthday treat. He was able to get on most of the rides, given his height. And there was plenty to look at and see around the park.

The longest ride wait was 20 minutes. Probably because we were limited to rides 1.1 and under.

Staff were really friendly and very helpful wherever you were in the park. Would def bring my little one back again.

Just a reminder to everyone BUY YOUR CAR PARK TICKET BEFORE YOU GO IN.” Georgia

“On the whole it was a good day out …. You need to go to Chessington understanding that it’s going to cost a few quid !” Travel Monkey

“My daughter and I visited recently and loved the place. Staff were helpful, they have extra support for the disabled and my 8 year old loved all the big scary rides much to my surprise. Food was bland, expensive and unexciting so take a picnic if you can but otherwise a fab day” Misskjg
