Legoland, Chessington or Gullivers?

We're looking to take our DD (4) to either Legoland, Chessington or Gullivers in a couple of weeks. We'll likely stay the night too. What is the best one to go to for her age group?

Any recommendations for other places too would be great!

We’ve been to Gullivers MK twice with our 3 and nearly 5 year old and enjoyed it much more than Chessington as the queues are much smaller and it’s easier to navigate. Gullivers is set up for under 10s whereas Chessington is for all. We spent at least 5 hours at Gullivers and only left as kids were getting tired out (grouchy!).
I’m not sure about staying overnight at Gull-overs tho, we stayed at Chessington in their hotel and that was a great experience, the kids enjoyed the restaurant and bunk beds but theme park wise we definitely had a better time at Gullivers.

Oh and yes the kids had to wear masks on rides but they were surprisingly excited about it! After seeing us wear them for ages they thought they were very grown up doing it too.

Gullivers is great for younger ones, it's a lot cheaper than the others and a lot less queuing.

@Cluckycluck

I did consider Paultons but then was drawn more to Chessington etc as they onsite accommodation.

@CMSdividend It would be the MK Gullivers we would be going, DD hasn't been anywhere like it before so could it be a day for a child that hasn't experienced it before?

I wouldn't say so, we're usually done in a couple of hours as there's not that much there. The park's footprint is probably a quarter of chessingtons. That said, if that is your closest park it might serve as a taster to see how she reacts to rides. It's very cheap to get into if you book early - less than £15.

@CMSdividend Thanks! It's not our closest, Chessington is so it doesn't sound worth the extra journey in that case.

Chessington is our closest and it really isnt worth the price for two days there. Paultons Park is much better
