Are there 2 for 1 entry to Chessington during Easter holidays? Thanks
Hi Marie, I’m not sure there are many 2 for 1 Merlin vouchers, (including Chessington World of Adventures) that have hit the stores yet for 2024. If you’ve stocked up on vouchers last year, many of them remain valid for the first part of the theme park season so worth checking out t&c’s. If you travel by train, there are 2 for 1 vouchers available for Chessington although promotions are limited to 10 voucherholders a day on 25 & 26 March & 50 tickets on 31 March and unlimited on other dates during Easter, Liz

Hi
I’m taking a girlfriend to Chessington World of Adventure as a surprise birthday present the first week of Sept ‘22. We’re both nanny’s I’m 66 and my friend is 58, her 30 year old daughter may also be joining us. Please can you tell me if you still have the Vampire ride and the Runaway train rides as these were my favourite 30 years ago?! 😂😂😂
Also please can you advise me if there are any concessions for over 65 as I’m retired so on a budget, thank you! We are coming by car from Midhurst West Sussex (approx 1 hr drive) so would be arriving approx 10am.
Hope you can give me some guidance as there seem so many options and deals, thanks again 😊
Kind regards
Angela
Hi Angela, the Vampire ride is indeed still at Chessignton World of Adventures & the Runaway Mine Train is now known as the Scorpion Express and located within Mexicana at Chessington. Unfortunately Chessington World of Adventures do not offer concessionary tickets but if you buy online in advance you can pick up tickets from £36pp. Alternatively you and your friend can make use of a 2 for 1 voucher offering the voucherholder free entry when accompanied by a full paying adult, (currently set at £57pp so if you split the costs then should be around £28.50 each). If you are booking a 2 for 1, then best to book in advance to guarantee entry. Hope that helps, Liz
Hi
Can I use 2 for 1 voucher at the gate?
Hi Rosie, it is currently recommended that you all vouchers are redeemed in advance alongside pre-booked tickets to guarantee entry. You could look to use a 2 for 1 voucher at the gate but there is the risk of being turned away if they have reached capacity, Liz

That’s good to know, always on the look out for new 2 for 1 vouchers for Merlin Attractions such as Chessington World of Adventures.
Are there any 2 for 1 vouchers for Chessington that I can use this summer?
Hi Jessica, look out for 2 for 1 vouchers for Chessington World of Adventures that are available on promotional packets of Kellogg’s cereals & breakfast bars that offer 1 person free entry when accompanied by a full paying person. If you are travelling by train to Chessington, there are also options to download a 2 for 1 voucher that you can present at the ticket booths on the day of your visit. Worth noting that 2 for 1 vouchers can only be used against full price on-the-gate price tickets so worth double checking online discounts too that can be quite substantial for those that can book in advance, Liz
Hi. It’s my Daughters 21st birthday on 2nd April 2015 and we are hoping that there is a “2 for 1 deal” so we can visit Chessington on that day. We are a family of 4 adults .
Please advise
Kind regards
Sharon
Hi Sharon, there is an Adults Go Free voucher, (effectively a 2 for 1 voucher), that is valid at Chessington World of Adventures – you can pick this up on promotional packets of Kellogg’s cereals & breakfast bar. Each voucher provides one free adult entry per voucher when accompanied by a full paying person and cannot be used in conjunction with any other offer. If you travel by train to Chessington, you can also download a 2 for 1 voucher for the theme park. More details available over on our 2 for 1 Voucher page.
Hi, we are a family of 4 adults and a 2 yr old. We want to come to chessington around September 2013 on a weekend(saturday)
Can you please tell me if there are any deals… 2 for 1 or something?
Thank you.
Maxine Frost
Maxine, you could pick up promotional multi packs of Kitkat that are running a Half Price Offer for up to 4 people at Chessington World of Adventures. Alternatively, 2 for 1 vouchers are available on promotional packs of Kellogg’s cereal that can be used at Chessington. Children under 0.9metres go free of charge at Chessington World of Adventures.
Hi, this might me quicker than emailing Chessington direct.
I want to book one child one adult ticket online. However we have a voucher from a cereal pack for a free ticket…. From what I read…. This cant be used if I book online? Or am I wrong…. Obviously I want to book online, but if I cant use the free ticket then I can’t… Or I dont want to and turn up on the day only to be told I have to pay full price!
Hi Carf, you are right… 2 for 1 vouchers must be redeemed at the ticket kiosk on the day of your visit. This is because you must be accompanied by a full paying adult/child, (depending upon your voucher) and tickets purchased online generally offer a discount off full price tickets.
I’m thinking of using Tesco clubcard vouchers to pay for a Merlin Pass but not sure if it is worth upgrading to a Premium Merlin Pass?
David, the main advantage of upgrading to a Premium Merlin Pass is that it includes free parking at Merlin attractions that have parking fees in place. To this end it can be worth upgrading one person, (who is most likely to accompany the family during trips to Merlin visitor attractions) within your family to a Premium Merlin Pass to take advantage of this free parking perk. The other main advantage is the lack of restrictions upon use of your Merlin Pass mainly around August & London Merlin attractions & Halloween events in October…worth having an idea of your plans for the year and making a few basic calculations before deciding which way to go.
