If you need inspiration for a fun-filled family day out, there are several fantastic theme parks here in the UK, including Chessington World of Adventures. The park is home to more than 40 rides and attractions, along with a zoo and aquarium with more than 1,000 animals. Our team of deal-hunters has been hard at work sourcing the best discounts and deals to help you save on Chessington tickets.
Up to 50 per cent off online bookings
By booking in advance, you’ll save up to 50 per cent on your Chessington tickets. Booking online slashes the price considerably on single-day tickets, which include entry to the theme park and the zoo. Online tickets start from £32, but if you were to buy walk-up tickets on the day, you’d pay upwards of £66.
If you’re planning to turn your trip to Chessington into a staycation, consider the great deals on overnight stays with park entry. These offers start from £32 per person, with entry to both the theme park and zoo, free breakfast, early ride access, free parking and hotel entertainment. You can choose from themed and standard rooms, which the kids will love (think Paw Patrol, Jumanji, Oreo, Capri-Sun, Gruffalo and Room on The Broom rooms). If you’ve got a little extra time to spare, Chessington’s overnight deals are a total steal.

Find tickets for £21 with the Chessington student discount
If you’re still in education, Chessington World of Adventures offers an exclusive student discount to Student Beans members. Enjoy the on-site theme park, zoo and Sea Life Centre at a reduced rate of just £21 – that’s 31 per cent cheaper than the standard online day ticket cost and 68 per cent cheaper than the on-the-gate price.
Simply sign in or register with Student Beans to redeem your Chessington promo code and prebook your ticket online. On the day of your visit, you’ll need to present a valid student ID alongside your booking confirmation.
Use your Tesco Clubcard points to save
Tesco Clubcard points offer a simple way to make a trip to Chessington World of Adventures a bit more affordable, especially if you’ve built up a healthy balance of points from your weekly shop. Instead of using your points in-store, you can exchange them for Clubcard rewards, which can be used towards the cost of entry tickets.
To get started, log in to your Tesco Clubcard account, head to the rewards section and check whether Chessington is currently available. If it is, you can convert your points into reward vouchers and apply them at checkout when booking your tickets online. As offers can change, make sure you check ahead and try to combine your Clubcard rewards with other Chessington discount codes and deals to stretch your budget even further.
It’s also worth keeping in mind that availability does change throughout the year and you may not be able to redeem your points during peak seasonal events.
Get 20 per cent off with the Merlin holiday club
If you want to save extra, join the Merlin holiday club and get up to 20 per cent off your short breaks. Available to all Merlin annual pass holders, the holiday club gets you discounts on overnight stays in themed hotels, including the on-site safari and Azteca resort hotels, and glamping options. Short breaks must be booked through the Merlin website for this reduced rate to be applied.
All hotel stays at Chessington include a wild-themed room, free buffet breakfast, free parking, evening hotel entertainment, access to the Savannah Splash Pool, free wifi and early access to the park between 9–10 am on selected dates.
Save more than 10 per cent with Blue Light Card tickets
Blue Light Card holders can take advantage of exclusive Chessington member days, offering theme park and zoo access for £25 per person (a regular pre-booked ticket costs around £29).
Tickets are available on a first-come, first-served basis by logging in to your Blue Light Card account, searching for “Chessington member day” and booking your tickets through the link provided.
The £25 ticket fee covers both adults and children (under-threes also need a ticket, but entry is free), and includes complimentary parking and access to the zoo area. Accommodation must be booked separately, and these special offers are non-transferable and non-refundable.
