With over 40 rides and attractions in 10 themed lands, a Zoo and SEA LIFE centre with over 1,000 animals, Chessington World of Adventures Resort offers a world of excitement for the whole family to enjoy.
Answer the call of the wild at Chessington World of Adventures Resort in 2020, as the Surrey Theme Park and Zoo unearths a NEW Land, the Rainforest, featuring three rides. Plus, children’s picture-book character, Elmer, flies in on the first-ever ride themed after everyone’s favourite patchwork elephant in the spring.
Perfect for families with kids in search of their first wild adventure, explore the rainforests of the world by road, taking the wheel on Jungle Rangers; by river, making a splash on mini-log flume, River Rafts, and from the treetop canopy, bouncing up high on Treetop Hoppers, all while spotting creatures including tortoises and capybaras, the world’s largest rodent.
Joining 10 other Lands at Chessington, the Rainforestis inspired by the Resort’s support of international conservation charity, World Land Trust (WLT), which protects the world’s most biologically important and threatened habitats acre-by-acre. Chessington’s Conservation Fund has supported the WLT for the last eight years, saving an area of threatened rainforest in Ecuador as large as the Resort (128.5 acres) and protecting it annually against poaching, illegal logging, mining and poor farming methods, by funding ‘Keepers of the Wild’ (Rangers), to safeguard the area.
With its new Land, Chessington hopes to educate guests, via a fun day out, about the importance of conserving the world’s rainforests.In addition to the Rainforest, everyone’s favourite patchwork elephant, Elmer, is set to fly into Chessington in 2020 as the Resort launches Elmer’s Flying Jumbos.Fans of the picture-book character will be able to pick a colourful elephant to take them to the skies on the flying carousel.
