We know how difficult it can be to keep your little ones entertained at the weekend or when they're not at school, just as we know that family days out often come with a hefty price tag.

So, to ease the burden on your mind and your bank account, we’ve got guides on how to get a bargain on all the best experience days, including Chessington World of Adventures.

Sitting just an hour outside of London, in between Epsom and Weybridge, Chessington is a full-on family experience complete with over 40 rollercoasters and water rides, a zoo with more than 1,000 animals, and some first-rate shows for all to enjoy.

Some of the resort's most iconic rides include the Vampire, Dragon’s Fury, and Rattlesnake, as well as log flumes like Tiger Rock and the Gruffalo River Ride Adventure, plus last year's addition the World of Jumanji, which includes six specially-themed rooms at the Safari hotel, plus a number of re-branded rides such as Mandrill Mayhem and Ostrich Stampede.

Let's take a look at how you can get a bargain on tickets, or you can get more information from our Chessington World of Adventures review.

There's plenty of fun activities to do in the UK, such as murder mystery experiences and best UK driving experiences.

How to get cheap Chessington World of Adventures tickets

It’s no secret that theme park days are an expensive affair. Even before you step through the gates, you’re shelling out for entry, plus the possibility of fast-track tickets and overnight stays. Then when you get in, there’s lunch costs, shows and souvenir prices to battle with. We also advise having a separate stuffed animal budget.

However, there are plenty of little changes you can make to save money on the day, from packing lunch to finding discounts on transport. You can also search for package deals or discount codes that will make the load lighter, especially if you’re bringing a big group.

But the best, fail-safe way to get a discount on tickets is to book ahead. If you turn up on the day, you’re paying £66 per person, but if you book online it’s only £34 – that’s a 48% discount. We’ll explain more about this later on, but if there’s one message to take away from this, it’s always book ahead!

The online tickets also give you a rainy day guarantee, so if the British weather decides to act like it usually does at this time of year, you’ll receive a free return ticket.
