Chessington is ideal for families with children aged 2–12, but it also offers attractions for older thrill-seekers and adults.
Weekends, school holidays, and bank holidays are the busiest days at Chessington.
To avoid crowds, visit on off-peak weekdays and avoid school trip seasons in June and July. Arriving early, using Reserve & Ride and saving popular rides for later can help make the most of a busy day.
