Relaxed rooms, some with safari views, in a pair of theme park hotels offering informal dining.
Large themepark includes a zoo and lots of rides for everyone. Queues are long especially on weekend. Height restrictions are strict. Food choices are okay. Could be better. Limited options for veg/vegan.
It's a fun amusement park for young kids with a lot of rides. Queues can be a bit long for the popular rides, and we were left frustrated when some of the rides broke down while we were queuing. Food is quite overpriced, as is the face painting, which costs PS12.95 per child! We went on the Zufari ride but was a bit disappointed that we didn't see more animals. Staff are friendly and are always willing to help. Large park close by so it's easy to find space and it's not too far to walk to the entrance.
We visited the amusement park last week, and honestly, the experience was mixed. We arrived almost at opening and stayed until closing, but despite spending the whole day there, we didn't manage to go on nearly as many rides as we wanted. The main issue was the incredibly long lines. For example, we waited over 40 minutes for the "Croc Drop" ride, and the actual ride lasted maybe two minutes, if that. This was really disappointing. The same thing happened with other popular attractions. Ticket prices are another downside. They are somewhat cheaper if you buy them online, but they're still quite expensive. Buying them at the park is even more costly, so it's better to plan ahead. Another negative is the price of food inside the park. The prices are noticeably inflated, so it's better to bring your own snacks if possible. To be fair, the rides themselves are quite good, and those who are willing to spend most of their day waiting in lines might enjoy the park. But overall, the experience was bittersweet: fun, but exhausting, and there just wasn't enough time to fully enjoy everything the park has to offer.
I recently visited Chessington World of Adventures and had an amazing time! The park offers a fantastic mix of thrilling rides, engaging attractions, and a well-maintained zoo. The staff were friendly and helpful, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable experience. The variety of activities caters to all ages, making it perfect for families. Additionally, the park was clean, and the dining options were good. Highly recommend for a fun-filled day out!
The theme park provided a very calming atmosphere, and it slightly reminded me of the Animal Kingdom. It was delightful to observe that the animals had a considerable amount of space within their respective enclosures. Regrettably, my six-year-old child only rated the experience as five out of ten because the majority of the rides had height restrictions that were too high for him. In all fairness, some of the rides did seem to have excessively stringent height requirements. Overall, it was a wonderful morning spent with my family. The Chinese characters displayed at the park's main entrance were aesthetically pleasing. I would highly recommend the chicken katsu curry with noodles.
I would highly recommend that if you're travelling more than 2 hours travelling distance from this place, stay overnight and make the most of the Early Riders hour before the park opens to the public because you can save yourself a fortune from having to do the book and ride thing to jump the queue. There's no getting away from the fact that a visit to this place is fantastic but - particularly any overnight stay - is extortionately priced. Take snacks and drinks in a rucksack or something to go round the theme park because we lost several pounds on vending machines that didn't work and there's no staff roaming around to be on assistance for anything. When we did have to ask a member of staff about a query, not one was able to help us because they only had knowledge of the exact area/job they were doing, which was very frustrating. Staff were very polite however and the ones in the restaurant were particularly helpful.
