History

In July 1931, the Chessington Zoo opens these doors. The park at that time does not contain attractions. The owner, Reginald Goddard created this zoo to expose his private collection of animals.

In 1978, the park is then sold with the group Pearson (which repurchased later Mrs Tussauds for a fusion which constituted the Tussauds Group. Pearson invests in the park starting from 1981 and thus gave to the park its current form. Work lasted 6 years, and it is on June 7th 1987 which Prince Edward inaugurated officially Chesington World off Adventures . In 2007, the park became the property of Merlin Entertainments.
