Plan your visit
The planner predicts how busy Chessington World of Adventures will be on every day for the next 8 weeks, using school holidays across all four UK nations, bank holidays and the queue history we collect every day.
| Prices | Adult £32 · Child £32 · Family £128 |
|---|---|
| Best time to go | Weekdays in the first half of May and from early September. Wet, cool days empty the park, and the zoo animals are more active. |
| School holiday tip | Scottish families get quiet weekdays in the first half of July. Late August sees English/Welsh families at full strength, so choose a Tuesday-Wednesday and arrive before opening. |
| Best ages | Strong for 3-10: zoo, Gruffalo and family rides; a few bigger rides for older kids |
| Top tips | Go to the Land of the Tiger and Dragon's Fury end first, then return to Mexicana and the children's areas by noon. Pre-book parking and bring snacks to skip the costly kiosks. |
| Money saver | Book early for lowest online prices; consider the Merlin Annual Pass if you will do 2+ Merlin trips |
How we measure busyness
Every 10 minutes we record the posted wait for every ride at Chessington World of Adventures. The busyness score is the average wait across the busiest half of the rides that are open, so one broken-down ride or a quiet kids' area doesn't skew it. "Quiet" to "Packed" compares today's score with the park's usual range, so busy means busy for Chessington World of Adventures.
