About Chessington World of Adventure

Are you up for an adrenaline pumping thriller ride in London? If you are travelling with your kids, they would unquestionably be highly excited! The Chessington World of Adventure is a theme park combined with a zoo, which is located in the south-west of Central London.

The zoo has animals from the kings of the forest to queens of sea life, most of whom are endangered species. The theme park has 26 thrilling rides, with 4 rollercoaster rides and two water rides! The park is divided into exotic cultural areas and the rides are based on each culture; like mummies from Mystic East and Vampires from Transylvania.

The adventure park is open from 10.00am to 5.00pm (off peak), 6.00pm (peak) and 8.00pm (during Halloween), between March and October. The zoo however, would be open to the public during the half term of February also, where the habitat of animals during winter can be seen.
