Advantages: Ideal for the younger theme park crowd Disadvantages: Poor catering
Chessington World of Adventure was the fifth and last destination owned by the Taussauds Group that we planned to visit this year, making use of our annual passes. My eldest who is 13 is really into thrill rides just like his Dad but my youngest who is 11 is not quite so confident and so Chessington was ideal for her as it is aimed more at the younger theme park visitor rather than the other ones like Alton Towers and Thorpe Park which are definitely ... ...the fact that Chessington boasts a small zoo within the site which provides a welcome break from the queuing for rides and again fits in with the target audience of the 5-14 age group.

Advantages: Good fn, great rides Disadvantages: Too much for one day, queus too long
...been a huge fan of Chessington World of Adventures. I was taken there every year by my Mum when I was younger, and so was my sister - although it was mainly just a zoo when my sister was really young.
So, now I have kids of my own, when we started talking about theme parks - for me, Chessington was my hands down choice. We went a few times with our, now, Eldest from when he was around 4 or 5 - and he always had a really good time. We welcomed our ... ...to book two days in Chessington and a night in the hotel, just outside the exit.
If you are planning on going with the kids, I would really recommend doing what we did - as it meant we did not have to rush around everywhere. The other bonus to this as well is that Chessington opened their doors at 9am - however the rides don't start until 10. So you can go round all the other bits before the crowds get there. We were able to wonder around the new ...

Advantages: Good day out for all the family. Disadvantages: Waiting in line for rides and food.
I like Chessington for a day out. the kids love the rides while I prefer watching the animals especially the gorillas and lions.
What I like about the place is the combination of things to do and now with a Sea-Life centre within the grounds and as part of the entrance fee makes it good value.
I would highly recommend though that you book online which will save you £7 for an adult. I note that sometimes the newspapers sometimes have offer vouchers, ... ...to be very friendly. The kids loved the wizards that rode around on their two wheeled contraptions.
Plenty of stalls and side-shows that you have to pay for as well as some coin operated stuff, remote control cars and boats, cranes and a couple of amusement arcades. Saw quite a few people walking around with large toys that they had obviously won and the stalls all displayed a fair play policy.
Loads of food outlets but my favourite KFC has gone ...

Advantages: Very good for the family. Disadvantages: No rides that have loops.
Chessington World of Adventures is a great day out for all the family, i find that most people there are younger than 16, as the rides are not to big and not to fast, there are one or two that the younger children may not like but apart from that most of the rides will appeal to all the family!
There is also big section of Beanoland, which contains, a water bomb section, Foam ball guns, and bumper cars. All these is fun for the young ones.
