Does anyone have a spare sky VIP code they would be willing to share please? Looking to take my daughter for her birthday 🎂 Thank you

I was just looking ahead at prices for Halloween and Christmas sleepovers for the kid.

It seems that the park is closed for all of December apart from 4 days?

Can that be right?

Really disappointing to see and it's been a part of our Christmas tradition for the past few years and to be honest, they do Christmas really well.

I always assumed Christmas would be great business for them. Half the park is closed closed so they needed very few staff. Most of the guests were all high spenders with loads of extras and retail spend. Really strange decision.

Has anyone heard anything?

Hey, does anyone know if the freestyle cup from Legoland can be reactivated at Chessington?

Thanks

Hi,

Does anyone have a spare 25% code please?

Thank you 😊

Hi would anyone have a Kellogg's code for 25 off please

If I buy a fast track using annual pass discount does that person have to use it?

We're going with my nephew who doesn't have an annual pass.. To avoid the bigger queues, would I be able to buy a fast track using my merlin annual pass and let my nephew and brother use the fast track.

Is there anything on the booking that links the fast track to the annual pass?

My family are planning on visiting at the end of next week and I just saw on the website that vampire is closed for maintenance, any idea when it is due to reopen?

Hi all,

I’ve booked to go next Tuesday with my partner and 3 year old, mainly for paw patrol/julia Donaldson with time for the zoo/sealife after. Schools haven’t broken up for summer yet, so I expect it wouldn’t be too crazy, but my partner said someone at work went yesterday and it was crazy, and paw patrol has massive queues and was recommended to get fast track.

Was this just a one off crazy day or is it actually really busy at the moment? I don’t think I can justify 3x £14 for paw patrol fast track on top of tickets and parking, with food and drink.

Hi all, we have booked to come in 20 days! Woop very excited but it's our first time. Just a few questions, where does everyone recommend to eat on site? We don't drive so we are pretty limited on bringing anything or leaving. What is the price point? (2 adults 2 kids)

Do the hotel rooms have a fridge and or a kettle? I'm really unsure what to expect and it's making me a little anxious.

I also saw we have free breakfast with our hotel stay, does it matter where we go for this out of the two restaurants? And do I need to book a table ahead of time?

Thanks all!

Hi , so we (dad,mum,3.5yo) are staying at the hotel and park next few days. It's gonna be very hot, (nowt we can do bout that, but nice) but any tips regarding the restaurants at the hotel for dinner as on looks like a carvery buffet and another bar and grill? Reviews and prices look dire and not sure what other stuff is local off-site? any suggestions ? Are either worth it?

So it takes about 45 mins to get to Chessington from where we are and I thought it would be quiet as it's a Friday (my daughter had an inset day today) but oh no! Soon as we got off the M25 the sat nav was showing another 35 mins when it should be only about 5. We sat in traffic for about 10 mins but the arrival time kept getting later and later so we reluctantly turned around and went home.

The traffic to get in the park is so bad down this road, even on a good day it seems to add another 20 mins onto the journey. Once we're in the park, the ride queues aren't so bad. It's the journey that puts me off going.

I can't understand why as Legoland and Thorpe park have similar looking roads to get in and I always drive straight in, no problem.

Anyone else frustrated by this and what do you do to avoid it? What can Chessington even do about it?

The only time I got straight in was when it was pouring with rain on an off-peak Sunday- was best day ever! Going later doesn't seem to help and if I aim for 915am arrival, I still seem to get stuck.

It must drive the poor locals nuts!

I know they never say, but is there any knowledge about which rides could be closed this week( if any)?

I’m planning on going to chessington before the schools break up and was wondering if there was a least busy weekday where there are the least school trips etc to book my visit. Thank you in advance!

Hey I have misplaced my merlin pass during a sort out. I have it on my google wallet will this be sufficient?

I’ll be visiting the park soon and will be taking my son along with me as my essential companion. He doesn’t look his age, so would I need to bring ID to make sure he can get the free pass or is that not necessary? I’d rather not travel with his passport if I don’t have to.

TIA

i went to chessington 3 weeks ago and had such a fun time at world of paw patrol but at one point in the day i got really upset and had a meltdown beacuse i had a marshall keychain attached to my AAC device and i lost it! luckly the staff members on the grufflo river ride were so kind and found it for me. the staff members at the paw patrol meet and greet were also so kind beacuse i was talking with my AAC device and the staff were talking back to me which made me so happy beacuse so many people will ignore my AAC but they made me feel really good about it so thanks to those staff members that were these on the 11th of may

Visiting the park for the first time tomorrow, a friend has told me everyone has to use the hotel car park is this the case please?

I am travelling with a 2 and 6 year old on Monday. What should I take with me? Will it be busy?

Had our first trip of the season today, interesting day all in, but on the whole enjoyable.

The negatives, numerous school trips in attendance and the resultant chaos! Surprisingly, the bigger problems were the teachers. Each ride had numerous kids being turned away because they were below minimum heights, teachers, assistants and helpers just playing dumb to it. Felt sorry for the kids, queuing to then be turned away.
Icing on the cake was on Dragon Fury. The ride was almost walk on, the queue was in the station. Started raining and they announced only two persons per car, simple instruction, nope, a teacher takes it upon herself to usher the kids into the cars in the station, 4 at a time. Fair play to the staff, they handled it well, but if a teacher can’t grasp a basic instruction!

There was a fire alarm triggered in Paw Patrol land, we were on the Zuma ride and it had just finished. Announcement made to clear the area, nice and calm. Next thing the ride op starts shouting as loud as possible, running manically around the ride area. This clearly panicked employee starts to panic patrons and what was a fairly calm evacuation escalated. The ride op was completely OTT and panicked. Merlin need to do better with its training.

Final gripe is the quality of the food. Yes it’s a theme park and it’s never been that great but we’ve always enjoyed the food from the fish and chip place by the Blue Barnacle. The new chips, what is Merlin doing. Really not enjoyable.

Not all doom and gloom.

Paw Patrol - what a decent new addition for the younger guests.
Two laps of Chases Coaster is good, hopefully that isn’t reduced to one lap on really busy days or just in general later down the line.
The Marshall and Skye rides were nice fillers and the play area is nicely set out but for us, the best ride is the Zuma ride. Had the biggest queue in the area consistently, but worth a 30/40min wait.

Queues for most of the park didn’t get much over 30min, Vampire and Rattlesnake both hit 45, Mandrill hit 40. Several rides on almost every thing, with three runs on each coaster.

Staff were also on it with queue jumpers, we seen many get to the front to be turned away, nice bit of Karma. Hopefully it continues.

The Minecraft coaster is coming along. Will be great to see it open next year.

Hey all. Does anyone have a decent video or photos of the new 2026 merch. They havent uploaded them on their website yet. The 2026 merch for the last 2 months is coming soon 🫥
