Chessington Military Discount November 2022

Just booked in to take the family here later in the year when we are over. Fingers crossed it’s open for business !

Just come back home from our 1 night stay at Chessington. After reading the reviews the night before I was quite worried. Turns out I wasn’t to worry as our stay/ visit was very good! The park has tried their best to keep to social distancing rules but a lot of it is down to the visitors and their common sense.. which there isn’t a lot of! Hotel was great, limited menu but ok for us. Breakfast made up for it! Only downside to our visit is a lot of the drinks machines were either broken or sold out! So in the 38 degree heat wasn’t ideal but nothing’s perfect is it?

We did the Santa sleepover recently. Forget the terrible heating in the room, old carpet smell, and the poor quality breakfast, the staff work extremely hard to make your experience magical! Sasha gave the kids the most exciting warmest welcome into the park, the elves were amazing, and Santa was brilliant! Thank you so much for making our first family trip to chessington world of adventures a memorable one.

Nah it was amazing I ran over a cat on the way there but the car is fine so don't worry. The weed guy frank is sick it was like £2 a gram and these transgender guys were like getting beaten up I would defo go again to Legoland again. 9 triangles out of 10. P.S I would go to Peppa Pig World but there is like some restraining order thing so I came here instead.

We stayed 2 nights in the monkey temple room with 3 children, which was just the very best experience! Every single staff member we met/came across from our days at the resort and park were beyond friendly and helpful, any queries we had were always met with the nicest and friendliest help, the on-site entertainment was so pure and the kids (who would usually not like that kind of thing) were drawn in with ranger deans enthusiasm and we came back for the second evening too just to be entertained by him! The queues were very long which made the experience a little tricky at one point for my autistic daughter but when James saw us struggling, he saved our entire holiday with a few extras that we cannot thank him enough for! (Someone please make sure James gets an extra big Thankyou from us!!!) our second day in the park was a lot quieter, we queued for a max of 15 mins per ride and some of them just went on again straight after a few times as there was no one waiting! The hotel was clean the food was great, and every single member of staff was super friendly and willing to help and really did make our experience a special one to remember forever. The only thing I would suggest to people booking the hotel package, is to make sure you book your pool, and food tables a long time in advance or there will only be slots left while the park is open so you’ll miss the early entrance or have to leave the park for the pool. But that was an error on our behalf as we didn’t know, we also loved trying to figure out how to get into the safe in our room that is a very clever little extra with extra little treats for the kids to keep as souvenirs and the lovely lady at reception even gave us the extras and the chocs on the kids beds was a very lovely extra.

I’ve got a term time only annual pass so we tend to miss the crowds that I’m sure are unpleasant at weekends and school holidays. We have a great time and enjoy the rides. Point for improvement - need more healthy and gluten free food options

We had a good day out. The kids enjoyed the rids and some of the animals we saw. It was disappointing... We would have liked to see more animals...or at least the Flamingos, Rhino & other animal they said would be there. I would say for the younger kids was a bit too much, they were tired...

They should make it to ensure people and tourists know it’s for younger generation or people who are not a big fan of rides, they now have no upside down rides as they got rid of Rameses Revenge for a little crocodile ride. Over hyped and seems like a waste of space for a little drop.

Was a bit sceptical and anxious going here today as my child has additional needs and regular meltdowns. From the moment we arrived we had our temperatures taken and given sanitizer for our hands, staff very welcoming and polite. At the gate entrance where we scanned our tickets we follow the path to the guest hub to get map and work out where to go next. Spoke to staff members Huntley and Molly and both of them 100% was amazing and very efficient and accommodated me with the minor issues I had .All in all had Wonderful time and all staff was accommodating with my child and I. Can not fault any of them from the moment we arrived to when we left the park.

Really good effort made to lift service levels since receiving negative feedback. If you get there early, you can avoid the queues - we were in and out 9-2. We are lucky as we only live close so not an issue but I get it if you are driving a long way you probably want longer there. Arrive. Get to the Gruffalo ride if you have young kids (They let you into the park pre 10am just nothing is open yet) and then work your way back. Longest queue for us was 10 mins. Bring your own food to avoid the crowds and costs and enjoy it, because when all said and done, despite wearing a mask on some rides, it's quite normal really. At 2pm it was getting a wee bit busy and it felt like the right time to leave. We have a young baby and a toddler and they were both pretty tired.
