The inside story
Chessington World of Adventures Resort is a theme park, zoo and hotel complex that lies 12 miles southwest of Central London, in the Chessington area. Historically opened as Chessington Zoo in 1931, a theme park was developed by The Tussauds Group alongside the zoo, opening on 7 July 1987, as one of the first themed amusement parks in Britain. The park was inherited by Merlin Entertainments in 2007 and has been increasingly developed into a resort, including two on-site hotels, a high ropes course and camp site.
Chessington Zoo has over 1,000 animals including gorillas, lions, tigers, monkeys, penguins and many aquatic creatures in the SEA LIFE centre. Take a trip through the ocean tunnel and marvel at the many sharks and other underwater creatures. The Zoo also runs multiple daily shows and activities, including a penguin and sea lion talk and feed.
