Chessington World of Adventures is a theme park located 30 minutes outside London between the towns of Epsom and Weybridge. There's been a zoo on this site for over 90 years and the main theme park has been open since the 1980s. Today the park is home to over 40 rollercoasters and water rides, a zoo with over 1,000 animals, and a SEA LIFE Aquarium, so there's plenty to see and do for all ages.

In 2023, the first ever World of Jumanji opened at Chessington, including the world’s only Jumanji rollercoaster – Mandrill Mayhem. Other well-known rides at the park include Vampire, Rattlesnake, Dragon's Fury and Tiger Rock.
Younger visitors will enjoy seeing some of their favourite book characters come to life on the Gruffalo River Ride Adventure, Room on the Broom magical journey and Elmer's Flying Jumbos as well as a huge soft play area, adventure trail and high ropes course.
