Sealions
Sealion Bay
We visit Chessington World of Aventures most weekends including the Zoo Days throughout the winter months. We enjoy the whole experience, but our favourite area is Sealion Bay. We love the antics of the sealions, especially Dante chasing the two girls and establishing his territory. Harley is the laid back one. Always an enjoyable day, thank you.

I was a bit scared and didn't want to go in, but it is actually really nice :)

Zoo Keeper for a Day
Big Cat Zoo Keeper Day
WOW, what can I say, a dream come true. I have loved big cats for as long as I can remember and so off I went with Jon the zoo keeper for the best day ever! The cats were so lovely and to see them that close was totally amazing you would never get that close, even on safari! The tigers, lions leopards are just fascinating to watch and hear. We worked really hard on one of the hottest days of the year, but every minute was worth it. The big cats are truly amazing and not to be missed. Jon had so much knowledge it was a really treat. Thank you so much for making a dream come true.
