Is social distancing and other hygiene and safety measures in place at Chessington World of Adventures Theme Park and Zoo?

Please be aware that tickets are limited to 6 tickets per booking, in line with UK government Covid-19 guidance.

In light of coronavirus, Chessington World of Adventures Theme Park and Zoo have introduced a range of hygiene and safety measures, which they are frequently reviewing in line with guidelines provided by the Government. 

Guests will have their temperature checked on arrival. All guests are encouraged to bring a suitable face mask/covering, although children under the age of 6 or people with certain health conditions and/or disabilities are not required to wear one.

Guests will be required to wear securely fitted face masks on the following rides: Vampire, KOBRA and Scorpion Express.

To help with social distancing, the number of guests visiting the park each day will be managed and so all guests will need to prebook their tickets online to guarantee entry into the attraction.

Guests will be able to experience many of their animals, including tigers, gorillas, sea lions and penguins, as well as many of the rides at Chessington during their visit. As recommended by Government advice, their Rhino Lookout, the boardwalk in Wanyama Village & Reserve, AMAZU and the monkey walk through, will remain closed to enable social distancing. Zoo-per encounters including animal talks and feeds will also not be taking place.
