The theme park for families looking to share an adventure.
Discover more at Chessington World of Adventures & Zoo in 2008!
The new SEA LIFE Centre houses over 20 marine displays with species ranging from tiny shrimps & colourful clownfish, to majestic sharks and magnificent stingrays. Kids of all ages will love the interactive rockpools, fun exhibitions and walkthrough ocean tank which creates the illusion that the visitors are on display while the fish swim freely overhead.
The marine theme leaks into the park with two new stage shows - Wild Factor 2 - Animals on Deck. If you've never seen a rodent that resembles a deer or an animal that looks like a cross between a cat and a bear, then Chessington World of Adventures & Zoo is the place to be this summer. Get up close and personal with the resident Binturong and new arrivals - the Mara and Coati - among other unusual creatures from Chessington Zoo.
If that's not enough, brave Dragon's Fury, a rollercoaster where the cars spin freely so the ride is never the same twice! Or make a splash as you plunge into the mouth of an oriental dragon on Dragon Falls. And even little daredevils can take a flight of fright across the treetops of Transylvania on Vampire, which has one of the lowest height restrictions for a rollercoaster in Europe at only 1.1 metres.
All the family will enjoy the Zoo, explore the Trail of the Kings and discover one of Europe's most successful Gorilla families, with three generations of the same family in the one group and a our newest arrival, Damisi the Silverback. Marvel at the majestic Asiatic Lions and meet the Sumatran Tigers and their new cubs.
