2 days at Chessington: Need a plan!

[yosammitysam]

We have just booked a 2 day trip to Chessington (staying overnight in the on-site hotel) as a bit of a spur of the moment thing- we go on Monday! We are going to surprise the kids with it but would love any advice on how best to plan our time. Our DS's are 2, 6, 9 and the eldest two are fearless when it comes to rides! But I think there will be some which are tricky because they'll need an adult each so not sure how we will juggle them all....? Any tips...?

We don't know whether to do rides first or zoo or aquarium- don't know how we will fit it all in (there's also a pool at the hotel)but want to try and plan in advance so we don't dither for ages when we get there. If anyone has been and can advise that we'd be really grateful!

Thanks, that's really helpful

go for rides first by late morn there will be queues so get in park for ten so you can get on some early.i would suggest looking at map online before you go and choosing what rides you want to aim for first, may be best one day start at back of park and the next day at the front really depends what rides you want.
bubbleworks and vampire getvery busy and so does the log flume,dragons fury and runaway train.

parentswap bands are available at guest services enabling parents to swap in the queues.

leave the aquariam and zoo for aft when rides are busy. In land of dragons is a soft play area and climbing area good for a restfor adults in aft next to coffee shop.

Is it worth buying the fastpass?
