### 4/5 — Relatively good

*2026-07-04, version 3.7.11*

The only part that annoys me is that it’s not updating to show the new rides.

### 4/5 — Chessington

*2025-12-29, version 3.7.7*

I think Chessington is a really good app. I like it because it gives you live queue times but it’s strongly signal dependent.

### 4/5 — Good

*2025-08-29, version 3.7.3*

It was really fun but loads of the rides but  were more than 1 hour long wait

### 4/5 — Single queue ( mandrill mayhem)

*2025-05-31, version 3.7*

The single queue was held back a lot and when we checked the photos there were so many open seats for the single queue people.

### 4/5 — Mostly amazing!

*2024-10-27, version 3.5.10*

It was amazing but the food was quite expensive and greasy and there could be some more variety of rides.

### 5/5 — It was the best time of my life spending time with my little girl at Chessington on all the rides

*2024-09-16, version 3.5.9*

Ever

### 5/5 — Very useful app!

*2024-09-11*

The app is so useful for a trip to CWOA - it gives you the queue times and a map to guide you around the park. You can also add children’s heights into the app so it will immediately tell you if a ride is suitable or not for each child. Highly recommended if you’re going.

### 3/5 — Good not great

*2024-08-27*

Generally on a beautiful day most people were in good spirits but that couldn’t quite quell the downsides of the day. From extortionately priced average food, inaccurate waiting times I. E, despite times being displayed on one particular ride as 60 mins took nearly double as the ratio of fast track ticket holders to general users wasn’t shared evenly. Toilets missing toilet rolls and having to borrow from other cubicles. A couple of bins right next to queuing area smelled bad and needing emptying. Quality dipped a bit since last visit but at least kids left with a smile.

### 5/5 — Chessington!!!

*2024-08-15*

Chessington is an amazing place. Its bot only based on bug rollercoaster or small rides, its a mix between them. My family comes her like at least 3 times in the summer holidays since its so good. We spend all our time there and make use of all the rides there are to go on. I personally think that its one of the best family parks out there. Its a fabulous place and one of my families favourite park to go to. I went today and it was quite busy but we still had a blast! Book your visit this holiday to experience the best experience of your life!!

### 4/5 — Good day out

*2024-07-24, version 3.5.8*

Good day although it was a real shame so many rides broken down or closed for technical faults

### 4/5 — Chessington

*2024-05-31, version 3.5.6*

Lovely day but very expensive food and drink 
When you have a family of five makes it a very expensive day.

### 5/5 — MOD day!

*2023-11-03, version 3.5.3*

The defence day was AMAZING!

### 5/5 — OUTSTANDING THEME PARK!

*2023-10-30, version 3.5.3*

It’s amazing 1000000/100000  especially the new Jumanji rides🐆🪨

### 1/5 — Thorp park better

*2026-07-07, version 3.7.11*

There’s to many good reviews

### 1/5 — Gone down hill

*2025-08-23, version 3.7.3*

Waste of time and money, the venue is not worth visiting these days

### 1/5 — Awful app

*2025-04-12, version 3.6*

Downloaded the app two days before we are due to arrive at chessington (I booked my tickets weeks ago). I thought it would be good to have all my resturant and swimming pool reservations all in one place. After downloading it, I was asked to put in my booking number and email address. I did this and it said ‘booking not found’ the booking number is on my confirmation email which I copied and plastered, and still not found. What a waste of time

### 1/5 — Unprofessional staff regarding digital photos

*2023-09-18, version 3.5.1*

Everything was so much fun and we had such an amazing weather in Saturday 16.09.2023, unfortunately the sad thing was regarding unlimited digital photo .. I’ve choose the option for £20 unlimited digital photo, and I end up just with 3 pictures as in most of the rides staff couldn’t upload and they kept saying it’s not working. Room on the broom, zufari and a few more weren’t available because the staff haven’t got a clue what to do .. 
Except this was amazing💜

### 1/5 — No to app map

*2022-10-21, version 3.4.3*

The map on the app is a pain. You want to be in the moment enjoying your day and you have to keep looking at your phone !  Bring back a paper map

### 2/5 — Could be so much better!

*2026-08-17*

The underlying design and UX of this app could be so much better. The design appears to be an inside-out effort with little or no design thinking. It does not adequately support your visit from the visitor perspective.  Information is neither contextual not dynamic. Small examples; no information on food and drink locations other than “closed”, why not provide opening times? No indication of what you can visit on early access in a dynamic way. There’s lots more! 
So many opportunities to make the app maximise people’s enjoyment have been missed.

### 2/5 — Unable to book

*2024-05-12, version 3.5.6*

Didn’t manage to prebook either in the website or in app 
Otherwise it is very good

### 2/5 — it lies

*2022-08-10, version 3.4.2*

times are all wrong , it says 30 minutes but you end up queuing for hours !

### 3/5 — Tickets go in my wallet

*2026-05-06, version 3.7.11*

App doesn’t support importing your tickets into your wallet. This isn’t really ideal.

### 3/5 — £12 for car parking?

*2025-09-02, version 3.7.3*

They charge you for parking when that is the only place you can go!
It is not like it’s in the middle of town

### 5/5 — VERY GOOD THEME PARK

*2026-07-20*

This theme park is briliant the rides are intense and really fun ,i ws there recently and it was perfect, the prices for the fasttracks WOW very cheap better then alton towers , the fact that they also invested millions of pounds into a land for little children is amazing the paw patrol land turned out very perfectly the desings, styles, colours, rides everything is just perfect. Also the fact they are building a minecraft land thats gonna be spawing next year is magnificent !! The organisers , designer etc but alot of good thought and im sure it will turn out brilliant for next year , if chessington succed to build minecraft land while they’ve just built a paw patrol land and it all turns out brilliant chessington world of adventures will be the most popular theme park in the UK! So
Well done chessington thanks for the experience will be coming back again keep succeding in making joy happen and cant wait to see your new rides for the near future !!

### 5/5 — Parking too expensive

*2026-04-03, version 3.7.11*

### 5/5 — 5 stars 🩷

### 5/5 — Chesington resort

*2024-10-28, version 3.5.10*

Amazing to try new rides like ostrich stampede and mamba strike both make your tummy go funny and it has rollacosters and one was called vampire that one was fun

### 5/5 — Review

*2024-10-26*

We had a great day today, we used our local residential tickets, it was a last minute decision and only booked last night. We came by bus it was so easy. The park wasn’t too busy so waited on average 15-20m for rides. It felt very relaxed today. Shout out to a lady called Shannon who assisted at the Coffee Hut, very helpful and kind. Bad point - toilets in the dragon land by humanity were dirty, no soap and hand dryers didn’t work. 
Otherwise we had a great family day out. Thank you
