Exploring the Resort
Important Information
From February 2026 Chessington World of Adventures Resort will be using the Merlin Ride Access Pass app allowing guests to pre-book and manage their RAP reservation throughout every visit. The RAP App provides users with a digital virtual queueing system that will be operated at the Chessington World of Adventures Resort specifically for Ride Access Pass only. You will need to download the app prior to your visit to pre-book and use on the day.
Ride Accessibility
Our rides and attractions have a variety of restrictions, which are put in place to ensure your safety.
Each ride and attraction has its own set of restrictions, which must be adhered to at all times, some of which are due to ride restraints, forces or sometimes due to additional requirements if the ride has stopped and guests are required to exit before reaching the station.
Missing Limbs or Amputation Information
At Chessington World of Adventures Resort, we strive to accommodate as many guests as possible on our various rides and attractions. However, for your safety, each attraction has specific requirements for individuals with limb differences.
Please note that you must have a minimum of three full limbs to participate in all rides and attractions, with the exceptions of adventure tree carousel, barrel bail out, Elmer's flying jumbos, jungle rangers, Room on the broom, Sea Dragons, Sea Storm and Tiny trucker.
We also want to make you aware that all guests, regardless of limb differences, must meet the height requirements specified for each ride.
Ride Access Pass
The Ride Access Pass provides a queuing adjustment for guests who are unable to stand in standard ride queues due to a disability or medical condition. To use the Ride Access Pass, you must pre-book via the Merlin Ride Access Pass App before each visit. We recommend booking as early as possible to avoid disappointment.​

RESORT FACILITIES
Toilets
A number of our toilets across the Resort have access for guests with wheelchairs or additional needs and can be found on the Chessington World of Adventures Resort App.
Toilets with disabled access are available throughout the Park. These are located in the following areas.
- Lodge Gate
- Shipwreck Coast
- Adventure Point
- Wild Wood
- Forbidden Kingdom
We also have a dedicated ‘Changing Place’ at the Resort located in Shipwreck Coast with a height adjustable changing bench, shower, toilet and a hoist. To access, please use a RADAR key, which if you don’t have one of your own, can be collected on loan from Ride Access Pass Information Hub​ & Information in Adventure Point. A refundable deposit of £10 is required to hire a RADAR key for the day. Â
Ride Access Pass Information Hub & Information
Located by The Mane Stage in Adventure Point, this should be your first port of call. The Ride Access Pass Information Hub and Information Team can offer advice on ride access and restrictions and provide further information on facilities.
First Aid
This is located in Forbidden Kingdom, next to the entrance to ZUFARI: Ride into Africa! As well as cold storage for medicines, there’s facilities for those who may require medical attention during their visit.
Hire Options
Wheelchair Hire
Wheelchair hire is available from Lodge Gate and is charged at £10 per day, plus a £50 fully refundable pre-authorisation on a credit or debit card. Registered disabled guests with documented proof may hire a wheelchair free of charge, but a £50 pre-authorisation will still apply - please speak to a member of staff on your visit for more information. All wheelchairs and mobility scooters are standard dimensions.
Wheelchairs are subject to availability so we would suggest that guests who need a wheelchair to travel around the Theme Park bring their own for ease and certainty. Please note, due to the very hilly nature of our site, this can make powered buggies very unstable. Please take extra care when using them.
Mobility Scooter Hire
Mobility Scooter hire is available from Lodge Gate and is charged at £35 per day plus a £50 fully refundable pre-authorisation on a credit or debit card.
Please note that you are welcome to bring your own mobility scooter to the Resort, but they are unable to be brought into ride queue lines and therefore must be left outside of the ride.
Pushchairs and Buggy Hire
We have a selection of colourful buggies for hire at Lodge Gate or Explorer Gate. Single buggies cost £10 and double buggies cost £15. Please be aware that our buggies are not suitable for babies and are subject to availability - you are unable to pre-book buggy hire for your visit.
Please be advised you may be asked to leave pushchairs and buggies in our designated buggy park prior to entering SEA LIFE due to the nature of this attraction.
