Highlights:
- The Bubble Works is an institution in itself - take a gentle tour through the factory and learn about the science of bubbles before getting a good soaking. Great fun for all ages!
- The Vampire ride has a superb theme and allows kids as little as 1.1m to enjoy a proper rollercoaster.
Get strapped in and then take a wild ride through over Transylvania, swoop through caverns, and speed through tight turns at over 45 mph. At some points your feet will feel alarming close to the treetops, but hopefully you'll be showing your fangs when you smile for that ride photo! - If you get the time, we highly recommend taking a stroll around the zoo. A great place to unwind and escape the queues, you could spend a day here alone.
- Toytown is the perfect place for young visitors to Chessington World of Adventures and Zoo. The rides are best suited for small children, whilst the area is located in the centre of the park.
- Beanoland. Step into the comic world of the Beano in this area of Chessington World of Adventures and Zoo. Families will have great fun in this land, as they meet Dennis the Menace, the Bash Street Kids and Roger the Dodger, all in a fun variety of different rides. There are also plenty of shops and places to eat.
- Land of the Dragons is an area surrounded by the track of a mighty roller coaster, but within there are rides and attractions that are perfect for the little ones. Kids and tiny tots will especially like this area.
