Major resort combining a theme park with zoo, SEA LIFE aquarium, over 1,000 animals, and VIP animal encounters. Themed hotel with early ride access. Seasonal events include Easter and Halloween.
🏆 Funzaroo Verdict
Best for families with children aged 5-13 who want rides and animals in a single destination. Toddlers enjoy the animal experiences. The staff quality is a genuine standout - particularly welcoming for young families and those with accessibility needs.

“We went here on a members only day as we wouldn't normally go out our way to travel here. It was a lovely day with a safari theme throughout the theme park. Majority of the queues were long for what the rides were but we did manage to go on all the ones we wanted to as it was a full day there. Lots of places to eat, because it was members only there were certain rides shut and parts of the park closed but it was a fun day had by the kids. I would say it is great for children aged between 5-13yrs in my opinion as mine are a little older and only had about 4/5 rides they wanted to go on. If you want or need a priority card to skip queues you do need to get this sorted at least 7 days before you arrive.”

“Absolutely beautiful. You need more than a day to enjoy everything. We mainly visited the animals but if you want rides as well you definitely need two days. We had a beautiful experience and would love to return.”

“What a great day! It's great Chessington put on an event over the February Half Term for us all to enjoy. It was nice to be able to enjoy the rides that were open, highlights include Tomb Blaster and Dragons Fury!! However, i feel the event could be even better if there were more rides open!”
